MANILA, Philippines - Manila Hotel pays tribute to music luminaries with a photo exhibit at the Taproom. The exhibit called
Taproom Memories: A Photo Exhibit of Music Icons
featured rare photos of artists, musicians, and jazz performers who visited the Grand Dame.
Curated by African-American filmmaker and photographer Collis Davis, the exhibit will showcase the photos of Tirso Cruz, Sammy Davis Jr., Gloria Estefan, Andion Fernandez, Cecile Licad, Michael Jackson, Jazz for Kicks, Glenn Miller, Liza Minelli, Angel Matias Peña, Romy Posadas and Lea Salonga during their stay at Manila Hotel.
Jazz music aficionados were joined by Italy ambassador Luca Fornari and Madame Silvana Fornari, Sri Lanka ambassador Nawalage Bennet Coorey for an evening of recollection and reminiscing as they travel back in time through these photographs.
The Taproom, with its old English pub-inspired interiors, dark timber ceiling and plush armchairs accented by a magnificent Tiffany bay window, has a unique soulful and friendly atmosphere making it a perfect place to unwind after a day’s work. Early this year, the Taproom launched an excellent roster of jazz performers bringing back memories of soothing nights with good friends.
