Week 8. The ambitious and grandiose opening salvo on the strings of revelries celebrated in the City of Tagum which is the Musikahan sa Tagum Festival, the longest running music-centered extravaganza that gathers the best performers in the country in the plucked-strings, choral groups and brass band once again opens its doors to the world and solidifies understanding and harmony through the power of rhythm and harmony. Like echo to sound, the festival reflects and mirrors Tagumeños' love for music and its aggressive stance to share it to the rest of the world via the internet as it tapped IT Institutions to utilize cyberspace for promotion and knowledge production. Indeed, Musikahan has come a long way. For once last year it hosted the 3rd International Rondalla Festival and was participated by 16 foreign countries. Next year, it will go international again by including the highly anticipated Asia-Pacific Choral group competition.
