Live from Manila is a 2006 album recorded by the R&B vocalist Angela Bofill.

Contents

This album was a milestone in Bofill’s 28-year career. It is her first live concert recording, as well as her final release, following her stroke on January 10, 2006. Performing before a packed Merk’s Bistro in Manila, Philippines, she covered signature hits that brought her to the attention of the music world.

Since it was released after the first stroke Bofill suffered, all proceeds from the album went to cover her medical expenses.
