Masskara Festival Music: Getting uglier and lousier each year

The Masskara Festival in Bacolod City Philippines has been known to attract thousands because of its colorful costumes and smiling masks. Every third weekend of October, hundreds of Bacole?os (people of Bacolod) troop to its main thoroughfares garbed in smiling masks and colorful costumes full of beads and sequins and the body, full of glitters. All of them sashay to the Latin beat.

Ahhh. The Latin beat. Those were the days when the Latin beat was in use. Gone are the days when the Trini Lopez Medley in the 80′s was used. The Gipsy Kings in the 90′s was the norm.
