Classical Music in Davao City
The College of Communication in Polytechnic
University of the Philippines celebrated its 12th Founding Anniversary on the 2nd week of August. The theme of the said event
was DOSENA: Labindalawang Taon ng Pagkakisa, Karunungan at Tagumpay.
The freshmen students of the said
college are required to present a street dance representing different regions
in the Philippines. Various sections from various departments showcase their talents
in dancing accompanying the festival they presented.
Kadayawan was one of the selected Festivals
in the event. Historically, according to
http://www.kadayawan.com, the term "Kadayawan" is derived from the
Mandaya word “madayaw”, a warm and friendly greeting used to explain a thing
that is valuable, superior, beautiful, good, or profitable.
This festival was originated in
Davao. When I explore the World Wide Web, I found out that there is a blog entitled
Davao Music Nation. This DMN was created to be a medium for the different
bands, artists, and music venues in the city to spread their music and gain
recognition. Designed as an online magazine, it features artists monthly,
introducing their story, photos, videos and of course, their music.
In the belief that music goes
beyond age and genre, the featured artists range from up and coming bands from
our local colleges, to established and awarded artists who have made their mark
in the world with their music. It also aims to solidify these different
artists, and create a solid community that works to help each other, and thus,
help Davao music get heard. (http://www.davaomusicnation.com)
In this website,
there are different posts showing various topics that are related to music. Here
it follows: Kadayawan World Vibe, Davao Artists (Chua– Artist of the Month for
August), Davao Bars (From Diner to Restobar, Sales Tekanplor), Davao Bands (6
Things You Didn’t Know About Kamaggong), and a lot more of Davao events.
By, this, I can
say that Davao is truly an amazing place with talented people and great
opportunities. Davao is really a great place to tour. Madayaw Dabaw!
