Fête de la Musique 2007

My third Fete! :D

The Fête de la Musique is celebrated every year all over the world. This year the Fête in Manila returned to the Malate area last Saturday June 23 with stages in Nakpil cor. Ma. Orosa (World, blues, jazz, funk, reggae & ska+ electronica); Adriatico St. cor. Nakpil (Hip hop & R&B); Plaza Rajah Sulayman, Roxas Blvd. (Universal/Main stage); Remedios Circle, Remedios St. cor. Adriatico St. (Rock).

I saw a lot of new bands, as well as some not-so-new but first time kong mapanood thanks to the Fête... i visited all the stages but i stayed mostly at the World stage because it was easier to get closer there. I left though when somebody started singing "Pass the Dutchie" haha, i just came back when Sino Sikat and Paramita were about to play. Pits were for official photographers only and i had no access pass. i really need a fast tele.. and a lens hood too, ang daming flares!

it rained for a while so i had to hide my gear and stop shooting and watched na lang... missed Kapatid and The Purplechickens... Drip was there early... shot Chicosci but i was like a mile away haha. couldn't get closer because of all the dancing kids, could not get my camera steady, had trouble enough using a slow shutter speed na nga eh hehe...

all in all it was a good shoot, not as tiring nor as exciting as my first Fete but more colorful than my second Fete. next year uli! :)
