She either takes a break from the usual night ’til dawn singing gigs or goes out to cheer up less-fortunate kids in a charity institutions as a way of celebrating her birthday. But as Sitti turns 24 on Nov. 29, she is setting aside whatever plans she has for her special day with family and close friends to perform in First at the Captain’s Bar of Mandarin Oriental. The concert starts 9 p.m.
“Since it is my first time to do a show that falls on my birthday, we have come up with a concept which will make everyone in the audience know me more by dividing the show into three parts — the past, present and future,” Sitti says.
The past will trace Sitti’s roots prior to hitting the right tune of success through bossa nova. Not everyone knows Sitti started as a lounge singer at 17, belting out standards and jazz hits of Kevyn Lettau and Patti Austin in front of Manila Peninsula and Hyatt’s Calesa Bar music-loving crowd. The stints served as good breather for Sitti, who was then a Business Economics student at UP.

YOUR birthday is the perfect time to look back on how far you’ve come and embrace all that the future has in store for you at the same time – and that is exactly what Sitti Navarro will do on her birthday.
Sitti will celebrate her birthday at the Captain’s Bar of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where she will do a concert titled “First.” The title is appropriate because this is Sitti’s first birthday show.
The three-part show will trace her roots. “I’m very excited,” said Sitti when she had lunch with the press at Pink Pepper Restaurant located on the forth floor of Robinsons Place Manila’s Midtown Wing. “The first part will show how I got my start in the business and the second part will show my rise to fame. The third and final part will show where I plan to take my career in the future.

Bossa nova used to be known only to a few Filipino fans — until young singer Sitti came along, and suddenly the uptempo Brazilian music entered the mainstream pop consciousness of the country.
Soon, other artists were releasing bossa nova-themed albums, all following the lead of the then 22-year-old singer from Las Piñas. But while the copycats all suffered poor sales, Sitti continued to shine, with her albums reaching double platinum status, with sales of at least 60,000 units.
After releasing three studio albums, Sitti hopes to extend her winning streak by releasing a bossa nova-laced Christmas album called Ngayong Pasko.

Everything is going Sitti’s way as the Yuletide Season approaches — from signing up with a new management team in Backroom, Inc., to her album gaining Platinum status and now a Christmas album which will surely delight her fans.
Her album “Ngayong Pasko,” which is also the title of her carrier single, is an original composition by Lambert Reyes. For a change, her album is not straight Bossanova. Some of the Christmas songs included are jazz pieces with upbeat arrangements which she is certain her listeners would enjoy.
“Ibang-iba lang ang arrangements sa Christmas album na ito,” she quipped. “It’s something new for me and something new for the listeners… it is a semi-departure from straight Bossa.”
