Local singers

Bayambang does not lack for musical talents of note.

In the '70s, a pretty local lass, Cecilia Montecillo, created a little sensation by winning in a national singing contest (Superwheel Singing Contest) aired on a popular TV show (forgot which).

In the '80s, a boy named Perfecto Ceralde became the grand champion of another singing contest on TV, "Tanghalan ng Kampeon."

In the early '90s, Ronaldo Tomas, the son of PSU music professor Mr. Tomas, became part of a pop jazz band in Manila called Passage Band. He played the saxophone.

A local singing talent today who has made it on national stage is Al Vincent Casela, who was a finalist in "The Voice Kids" in 2016.

One notable talent is Mr. Oscar Ora, who is a prolific lyricist and composer in the Pangasinan language. He wears other equally interesting hats as radio broadcaster and Brgy. Telbang Kagawad.

The town has several other equally talented, though largely unknown, singers, composers, music teachers, rappers, rock bands, and other music artists.

Did we miss any important name, especially musicians singing in the native language?
