Fete de la Musique is a festive celebration of musical talent which originated in France, 1982. This attractive celebration has since caught the attention of thousands of fans worldwide and is now celebrated in a number of countries across the globe. The idea of such an event was first thought of by Joel Cohen, an American musician whose professional endeavors saw him move to France. While he was working for France, Musique Cohen came up with the idea, taking music in France to another level. Also known as World Music Day, this wondrous celebration brings together musicians from all walks of life, regardless of their professional background or where they come from.
With the simple goal to “Make Music” the festival can be divided into two categories. The most distinctive feature of this celebration is that it allows amateur musicians to perform on various locations of the city that the event is hosted in. The Fete de la Musique celebration which takes place in Manila provides this opportunity to the local musician who dreams of performing in front of cheering fans. The other aspect of the occasion is the fact that several concerts are staged, catering to the tastes of the varied fan base attracted by the festival.
Music lovers of all age groups will be in for a treat as the drums start to pound and the guitars start to sing. Almost every musical genre known to modern man can be heard when in Manila in the month of June. From the deafening sounds of hard metal to the easy beats of Reggae music, the sheer variety and the contrasting styles of the performers on show will no doubt impress the visitor. As the atmosphere created during these festivities is simply remarkable and the event is free for all, this mega event is an experience that you should not miss out on.
