Masskara Festival 2008 Music is finally out!

Posted on September 4, 2008

The Masskara Festival 2008 Music is finally out! I have been waiting for this since first week of August. Until todaywhen Masskara Festival Streetdance Committee chair Mr. Rudy Reveche sent me a copy of the official streetdance music that will be used on October 16 for the Schools Category, October 17 for the Barangay Category and October 18 for the Open Category of the Bacolod Masskara Festival.

The music is a combination of both old and new. For one, it is quite interesting to note that the organizers have adopted an instrumental music. No vocals, no rap whatsoever. The music is a rehash of old Masskara songs “Sigue lang Sigue na” as well as a few Ilonggo folks songs.

In my opinion this music is way better than the ones produced between year 2004-2007. It has removed the very awkward rap segment in the music. And the return of the original Latin beat to it.

It is also great to note that they have used local or Asian musical instruments just like what they did in 2005. (Masskara Music2005 instrumental version was good, too)

And though this is just an instrumental music, I would not be surprised to see the locals humming this because the folk songs included are the very familiar and common ones. The same folk songs that were included in last years music.

The sound sucks as always.. and what, no vocals?? kulang ba budget? no energy in the music.. WTH violin?? oh come para lang ba to sa mga oldies ang sound na to??
Jorge on October 5th, 2008 10:14 pm

laki ng budget ngayon ng masskara tapos cheap ang sound?? what a ripoff.. kaka bad trip yung music.. la man lang vocals. people dosnt really care kung tagalog yan or hiligaynon, more important may ma-ayos man lang na beat, lawlaw talaga and beat tapos mix pa, halos lahat nlng ng old song nandyan na maski na hinde maganda pakinggan… THUMBS DOWN!!!!

Hi,
Had awesome fun at the last Masskara festival and i have 1350 pictures to prove it.The Negrense sure know to party. i come from Cebu where years of Sinulog festivities has somehow jaded my eyes of amazement. Its good to know you guys know how to present it some other wonderful way. Its even better you featuring it in your website. Job well done.
Incidentally, would it be possible to ask a copy of the Masskara festival music? thanks in advance
