A Decade of Harvest, A Celebration of Creativity
Welcome to the Musikahan sa Tagum Festival 2012

Once again, on February 21 to 26, 2012, the streets of the City of Tagum, the music city in the south, come alive with festival colors, marching artists and wild cheering corps. It’s enough to keep both locals and tourists singing and dancing to the beat of music, and more than enough to captivate any music-lover’s heart.

After a decade of successful annual staging, the Musikahan sa Tagum Festival in 2012 banners the theme: ”Harvest of Creativity, Celebrating Global Solidarity”.

Participated by thousands of revellers, the festival opening salvo in the Davao Region features the region’s best solo players and musical ensembles --- marching brass bands, choral groups, rondalla artists (traditional ensemble of plucked-string instruments), drum-bugle-and-lyre corps players, young musicians specialising wind, percussion and string instruments, and many more. Adding prestige to the festival is the participation of acclaimed guest artists from other parts of the country and the rest of the world. Indeed, the portals of the City are open to the participation of guest performing music artists from various ASEAN-member nations.
