I was almost hesitant to proceed with the plan to watch Visayan Music Festival. It rained while we were waiting for some other CBS members to come. I was almost convinced that I will skip this. But my curiosity is killing me. My love for the Visayan culture and the arts could not be betrayed with mere droplets of rain. So I braved the drizzle.

We arrived late but just in time that people are already warmed up and they are now partying. It was some reggae music that was played when we feel that party is indeed in the air.

One of the things that surprised me most is the discipline of the audience and the approachabilty of the bands performing. The audience almost invaded the stage to jam with the band playing. By the way, the music is non-stop literally. While the other band is playing on the other side of the stage the other band is preparing for their turn. No dead air.

Audience was impressive notwithstanding the rain

The venue is perfect for the theme of the party. It perfect for camping. Whoever came up with this idea, very good to you!

We stayed here for some snacks and refreshment before we went home. We shall definitely be back tomorrow to see the other bands. Today, there were almost 30 bands who performed including Cueshe with its vocalist Jay who I had a little chitchat while they were waiting for their call, Up Dharma Down, Radioactive Sago Project, Shiela and the Insects and Dice & K9 along with other local bands. This two day music festival will end tomorrow. Buy your tickets now. Its for 150 pesos only.
