She expected three fans. China sang back.
From Shanghai singalongs to a joyful return in Hangzhou, Cebuana singer Jolianne Salvado is taking Original Pilipino Music (OPM) across borders—and finding friendship in the chorus.
Jolianne Salvado went to China wondering whether even three people would show up. Shanghai clearly did not receive the memo. They packed her first venue. They sang back to her. Some fans even flew in to watch her China shows. So much for three people and an awkward sound check. For the Cebuana singer-songwriter, her first tour began with a discovery: an audience she had barely known existed already knew her music. “Shanghai, you were the very first stop of my very first tour!” she wrote on Instagram. “I couldn’t have asked for a better start.”
