OPM singer-songwriter Moira Dela Torre has opened a new chapter in her music career with the release of two new collaborative tracks: 'I'm Okay' with award-winning folk-pop band Ben&Ben, and 'Mapasakin Ka' with singer-actor Sam Concepcion.

'It's been a while since our last collab with Moi, but every time we work together, it's just as special as the last one. Thank you for letting us add a piece of ourselves into your already beautiful song,' Ben&Ben said in an Instagram post.
In a separate project, Dela Torre also released 'Mapasakin Ka' with long-time friend Sam Concepcion.
Dubbed the 'Queen of Hugot Songs,' Dela Torre's latest work underscores her passion for creating music in collaboration with those she deeply values.

Lara Trump hosts Egyptian artist Mohamed Ramadan in New York

In a notable development, Mohamed Ramadan, an Egyptian artist, has received a special invitation from the family of US President Donald Trump to visit their residence in New York City. During his visit, he met Lara Trump, the wife of Donald Trump's son Eric, and posted photos and videos of them together on his official social media accounts. Artist Mohamed Ramadan expressed his elation at the invitation he received from Lara Trump, the wife of US President Donald Trump's son, thanking her for her appreciation of the African continent and Arabic music. Ramadan posted a number of photos of himself with Lara Trump on his official Instagram account, commenting: 'I am delighted to have been invited by Mrs Lara Trump, who appreciates my continent, Africa. This also reflects her appreciation of Arab-African music." He went on to say, "Something great is on the horizon, God willing," hinting at a new project he's cooking up for the near future. Not only did Ramadan reveal details of the visit, he also hinted at a new artistic project he is working on with Lara Trump. He confirmed that a major surprise is coming in the next few days, although the nature of this surprise is yet to be revealed.
