Top 5 Things to be excited about Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival 2014

WhenInManila  and you are planning to go to this year’s Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival on February 27 to March 3 for the first time, here are some of the things you should expect and be excited about:

 

1.       Breathtaking Venue

Malasimbo festival is being held in a natural amphitheatre at Mt. Malasimbo in Puerto Galera.  Overlooking is the Puerto Galera bay which is considered as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Maybe that is one of the catch, to enjoy the festival itself and feel the gift of nature.

 2.       Awesome Line-up of Musicians

This year’s line up is very exciting. It is more packed as the event will be running for five days. How is that? Five days of great music from a vast number of musicians from different parts of the world including some of our locals. It will be nights of jazz, reggae, acoustics and other genres. It will be great also to hear more alternative music from independent arists who joined the queue like Jose Gonzales, Filipino-blooded singers Mishka Adams and Low Leaf. So better be ready for so much fun and eargasmic live acts.

 4.       Witness culture

It is enthralling to see the native people of Puerto Galera and how they have preserved their culture. Its very interesting to encounter our Filipino brothers from Mangyan tribe and how they will divulge the richness of their own traditions to the visitors which are expected to be from different places and races. Indeed, Malasimbo amazed not just the locals but also the international community. This is also one good way to boost our country’s tourism.
