My Top 10 Random Filipino Music Moments of 2011

 

I must say it was pretty difficult to decide on which ones since there are so many wonderful moments that always happen when you’re surrounded by great musicians. I wanted to do an EVERYTHING Highlight of 2011, but decided to just separate them all into different categories, and the easiest for me to pick were the random ones. 

These are my personal choices, based on how each event affected me. I’m sure each one of us have our own highlights, but these are the ones which are relevant to me and which I saw with my own eyes.

NBK for Rogue

Rogue Magazine held their Christmas bash in Prive where NBK - Natural Born Klubbers provided the music. DJs Manolet Dario, Bombi Balquiedra performed on the decks together with a live performance by Chico Cristobal on guitars, Mr. Marcus on drums and the lovely Bea Tantoco on vocals. 

Francis accompanied me to the party and we bumped into a lot of other musicians that night, one of them being Basti Artadi of Wolfgang who, upon seeing Francis screamed, “LET GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!”, right when we were about to go home, haha!

Basti Artadi of Wolfgang watching Parokya Ni Edgar last night at 19East in Sucat. 

He and Tirso we’re screaming, “Don’t touch my birdie!” last night at the band because they said they’ve never heard Parokya sing it live before. 

I told Tirso they need a megaphone. There were just too many requests coming from the crowd! 

I’m so kalat I left my wide lens, good thing my friend Haw was there so he lent me his brand new 16-35mm f2.8 and I’m so fucking in love with it. If only it wasn’t like 70k++ PESOSESESES…. O_o
