MUSIC
With Art Beat’s advocacy to showcase local talent, this year’s event gives you the best of two worlds: discovering new music, and enjoying your staple bands. “This year’s edition will be more more intimate”, says JB Balaquit, founder of Docdef Productions. “It will be a more familial show, focusing on the diversity of musicians scattered and hidden in the Filipino music scene.”
Taking the Tagaytay Art Beat stage once more are pop-rock band Autotelic, math rock trio Tom’s Story, and soul-rock band Farewell Fair Weather. Joining them this year are indie rock band Oh, Flamingo! and blues funk UBE. Compliment the cool breeze with some tunes that set the mood from singer-songwriters Clara Benin, Reese Lansangan, Julianne Tarroja and Max Javelino.
Feel the air, watch the clouds, and seize the moment while acoustic acts Leanne and Naara and I Belong to the Zoo play. Get you dancing to the energetic beat of bands like Ben&Ben, 6 piece indie folk band The Ransom Collective and makata pop Munimuni. Dive into local hip-hop with performances from Uprising Records‘ Anygma: Apoc x DJ Nicko, Kjah x Supreme Fist, and BLKD x The Tooters.
Get experimental with kalimbatronic artist Bea Lorenzo, DJ-and-drums duo Motherbasss, and theatrical horror rock band Mr. Bones & The Boneyard Circus. Move to the drums’ beating with world beat-jazz-rock outfit Dayaw and djembe artist collective Adinkra Lumads. Jam to some reminiscent songs and new tracks by Mayonnaise and The Itchyworms.
Tagaytay Art Beat believes in the excellency of diversity in local music, and therefore provides a stage to each genre for the world listen. In retrospect, they want music-lovers in and out of Metro Manila to collide. Moreover, this promotes the scenic and atmospheric environment the Philippines offers. Just remember to keep the place clean after having the best time. Here’s the official poster.
