Few international artists have built a connection with the Philippines as deep as Fra Lippo Lippi’s Per Sørensen. For nearly four decades, the band’s songs have become part of countless Filipino stories — from romantic moments to nostalgic memories that continue to echo through time.
Their relationship with Filipino audiences began in 1988, when Fra Lippo Lippi first performed at the Folk Arts Theater. That debut concert series became iconic — nine sold-out shows over six nights — proving just how powerfully their music resonated with Filipino listeners.
Since then, Sørensen has returned to perform across the country, from Manila to Cebu and Davao, describing each visit as a homecoming rather than a tour stop.
He often shares that performing in the Philippines feels like singing among friends, drawn by the unmatched warmth and energy of Filipino fans. Each show becomes a heartfelt reunion: filled with gratitude, nostalgia, and shared love for timeless songs such as Everytime I See You and Later.
Beyond the stage, Sørensen has also expressed genuine concern for the country, extending words of compassion to those affected by floods and earthquakes. For him, the Philippines is more than just a loyal audience — it is family.
