Samsung is rocking the local music scene with three new mobile phones spearheading its Live Loud music campaign.

Only recently, the music caravan hit fever pitch with a live and loud launching in Eastwood City in Libis, Quezon City.

The stars of that night were the Samsung i450, Samsung f250 and Samsung f330 music phones-- all capable to turn up the beat and bring out those larger-than-life concert moods.

The other stars of the Samsung Live Loud music campaign launch were Brownman Revival and Parokya ni Edgar.

"We welcome all to the Samsung Live Loud kickoff party," said Seung Ho Choi, VP Mobile Phones of Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp.

"Like you, we at Samsung also believe that m,usic is the universal language, and tonight's party celebrates the artistry and the soul of the Filipinos.

"Music is a vital form of self-expression that speaks of the passion and intensity of every generation. Your generation has taken music to greater heights, and we at Samsung will continue to support every form of artistic expression.

Dubbed as the "Pambansang Banda ng Pilipinas," Samsung Live Loud brand ambassador Parokya ni Edgar continues to win the hearts of Pinoys with an endless string of hit singles such as Mr. Suave, Buloy, and Harana.

Lauded for their original rock novelty songs, they have received countless Gold and Platinum Record Sales Awards and Music Awards from esteemed awarding bodies. Parokya ni Edgar has been known for its quirky songs, its unique and unpronounceable album titles, and their antics onstage.

So it is no wonder why Parokya ni Edgar best represents Samsung Live Loud.

Parokya ni Edgar spread the Samsung Live Loud vibe in Eastwood with reggae band Brownman Revival.

Their beats will then heat up Baguio on March 23 while Cebu and Cagayan de Oro will experience Samsung Live Loud on April and May, respectively.

Visit the Samsung concept shops in Robinson’s Galleria, Cyberzone SM North Edsa, Ayala Center Cebu, and Limketkai Cagayan de Oro and catch Parokya ni Edgar browsing through the wide array of Samsung products.

Also, a series of bar tours in collaboration with radio stations Magic 89.9, Rx 93.1, and Hit FM 99.5 will hit the metro’s hottest party hubs all throughout the month of March and April. Tune in to these stations for the whole month of March and participate in the Live Loud radio contest.
