Jakarta-based
singer-songwriter Kara Chenoa is set to make a gratis appearance in
Manila for the upcoming The Rest Is Noise 36 (TRIN36) on May 26, 2023, at the Balcony Music
House, Makati City. The
award-winning Indonesian artist will be joining some of the most esteemed acts
in the country, such as actor/rapper Elijah Canlas, hip-hop duo BLKD and Calix,
dance-rock outfit Pedicab, and acclaimed electro-pop star Ena Mori, to name a
few.
Pre-sale tickets are available at PHP
700 for limited quantities only, and regular tickets are priced at PHP800: bit.ly/trin36. 
Kara Chenoa
is currently in the Philippines for a series of engagements, including a music
video shoot for his collaboration with Filipino alt-R&B artist Jason
Dhakal. The two acts are teaming up on “Lifetime,” a soulful and heartfelt tune
about the potential for a lasting connection. Conveying one’s romantic
connection to someone special, the song presents the protagonist’s desire for a
bond that transcends time and dimensions, wondering if the feeling is mutual.
“The song
emphasizes a willingness to break societal norms for love,” describes Kara. “Despite
acknowledging the limitations of time, the characters in the lyrics
are patient and willing to wait for the right moment. ‘Lifetime’ captures
the longing, hope, and commitment associated with building a meaningful and
enduring relationship.”
The upcoming
single will serve as the focus track of his sophomore EP titled Green Banana,
due to arrive on June 30.
Through the years, Kara Chenoa has
acquired an impressive list of collaborations from the region, such as Midnight
Quickie on the single “Call My Name” and Jevin Julian on tracks “BAJ” and “No
Clue.” The latter was nominated for an AMI Award for Best Urban Single. Kara’s
music can't really be classified under one genre, with varying influences such
as hip-hop, jazz, rock, and even traditional Indonesian doo wop in its sonic
arsenal. His work serves as a reflection of how he sees himself: as a chameleon
in the music industry.
