Pinoys are certified music lovers. We have a lot of talented Filipino singers and songwriters around. And probably a lot more out there who are just waiting to be discovered. This prompted telecom giant Globe Telecom to once again unite musicians especially the youth in this year’s Globe Kantabataan– a songwriting music festival made for the youth.
First launched last year, Globe Kantabataan this year officially opens last March 12, 2007 and is set to run until May 20, 2007 to give a ample time for the the youth to submit their entries.
Globe Kantabataan is open to all amateur and unsigned youth bands who are both Globe and Touch Mobile subscribers (postpaid or prepaid). All the bands have to do is submit an original composition in line with the theme while making sure to include keywords “Posible” and “Lakas” within their song.
With this year’s theme ” Isang Tinig ng Kabataan Para sa Ayt na Kinabukasan” (Ayt by the way is a slang word for alright), Globe songwriting contest seeks to unite the youth and their diverse musical passions for a good cause. The songwriting contest is expected to draw more talented youth all over the country as it goes on regional tour in over 20 Kantabataan centers nationwide.
No less than Pinoy Dream Academy grand star dreamer, Yeng Constantino, was tapped by Globe as Kantabaan Music Festival official endorser. “It’s a dream come true for me. Music has really taken me to places I have never imagined I will ever be. I am always made aware of the responsibility that comes with representing the young, and I hope not to disappoint them,” says Yeng humbly.
The national finalists will receive cash prizes and a chance to undergo a once in a lifetime training session with the country’s top musicians. Interested bands may submit all the requirements to any official Globe Business Center.
So what are you waiting for? Sali na at makisaya sa Globe Kantabataan 2007!
