The renowned band Music Travel Love delivered a stunning performance of Ben E. King’s classic, ‘Stand By Me,’ in the UAE, only to be pleasantly surprised by the Filipino audience’s rendition of ‘Banyo Queen.’
During a captivating moment at a local event celebrating UAE National Day, the band, Music Travel Love, was performing their popular cover of ‘Stand By Me.’ The performance, captured in a TikTok video shared by user edwiewose, took an unexpected turn. As the band played, instead of the crowd joining in with ‘Stand By Me,’ the Filipino audience began singing ‘Banyo Queen,’ a Tagalog song made famous by local Filipino artist Andrew E, which interestingly shares a similar melody.
The video highlights the performers’ reactions to this humorous and heartwarming exchange of cultural musical expressions. Watch the delightful interaction in the video below:
