Iloilo’s thriving music scene has been taken again to the next level with the first ever Iloilo Lokal album compilation. Iloilo Lokal is a group of signed and independent musicians here in Iloilo dedicated in promoting and upholding the local music industry. They are determined to bring out the best of Ilonggo talents and hidden gems by organizing gigs, events and recording opportunities for the independent artists.
There will be a series of album compilations showcasing original compositions from the local bands here. The songs in the album are not just purely Ilonggo but also includes Tagalog/ Filipino and English original songs in different genres.
Last July 3, 2010 Iloilo’s pop culture, rakistas and music fanatics gathered for the launching of Iloilo Lokal Volume 1 CD compilation. The event was held at Barbeque Park Restaurant along Diversion Road. It was a fun-filled night of headbanging and music celebrating the Ilonggo musical culture.
During the event we witnessed the performances from: Bahaghari, Illegal Entry, JointVenture, EasyPlay, Sundae Special, Guilty, Joscko, Where’s Charlie, Factory, Overhead, Kwatrokantos, GodChild, Tethany, Tribu ni Mali, Candyflip, Liberty Jam, Driveletter and Raffy Buenavides (aka Mr. Inday).
Indeed, this is a great endeavor for inspiring Iloilo’s local music artists to create more compositions that will truly bring out the best of the Ilonggos.
