Fiestas are feast days of the town's patron saint, this can be any of the saints in the Catholic religion BUT one of the most popular patron saint is the STO.NINO or the CHILD JESUS. There are marquee celebrations in Cebu, Kalibo in Aklan and Tondo in Manila.</p>

<P>Marching bands made up of (brass, wind and percussion sections) are common fixtures in fiesta celebrations.

		<description><![CDATA[<P><img src=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21ENTE1GFAL._SL160_.jpg alt="Eraserheads" border="0" align="left" />Naisip ko lang dahil sa Eheads reunion concert ay baka maraming interesado sa discography ng Eraserheads. Ibig sabihin ng discography ay lahat ng mga records (CD, cassette tape, plaka vinyl) na inilabas kung saan kasama ang isang artista, banda o musikero. Swerte ang BMG Pilipinas sa reunion na ito, sigurado maraming bibili ng back catalog ng Eraserheads, easily 10,000 units sold ito for this year alone lalo na't ilang beses ipapalabas sa MTV ang first set ng Easerheads reunion concert last August 30, 2008.</p>
<P>Mamaya ko na lang i-post yung mga actual info details ng Eheads CDs with the complete list ng mga solo albums of the original Eraserheads lineup (Marcus Adoro, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala at syempre si Ely Buendia)</p>

As the composer of the modern Philippine National Anthems, Noel  Cabangon can surpass the nationalistic and patriotic fervor reflected  in Julian Felipe’s composition titled Lupang Hinirang.</p>
<p align="justify">The  spell of Noel Cabangon started to captivate every TV viewer a few years  ago as his song <strong>Kanlungan</strong> became the theme music in the commercial of  one of the largest American fast food chains in the country. Every time  the commercial was played, teens, yuppies, and adults all over the  country sung together with the mysterious voice that hooked their  attention.</p>

This collision of  music genre is an event sponsored by the French consulate.</p>

As far as I can remember, when someone in the family wanted an acoustic guitar the reply is always to "get a Lumanog" coz "it's the best". </p>
<p>And since the family hails from Pampanga, everyone knows where the best of the best Lumanog guitars can be found - at the hub of guitar and music instrument shops all bearing the name Lumanog in San Anton, Guagua, Pampanga.</p>

It’s  far from the rhythm of the latest craze “<strong>emo</strong>” or emotional rock  but positively a new flavor to  the diversity of Filipino music. No  doubt, <strong>Bossa Nova</strong> captures the heart of sentimentalists and even the  hard rocking babies. Thanks to new singing sensation, <strong>Sitti</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">“Jazz-influenced music of Brazilian origin,  rhythmically related to the samba” is the simple description for  Bossa Nova. Historically it was founded in late 50s by <strong>Antonio Carlos  Jobim </strong>and popularized by <strong>João</strong> and <strong>Astrud Gilberto</strong>.</p>
