All my life I have been wanting to watch a big-time music-related event called
Fête dela Musique. Originally known as festivity in Paris in 1982, the Fête—or
World Music Day—has made its way to other parts of the globe, including the Philippines in 1994.
And now, on its 21st year, Fête dela Musique is still called by many as one of the “go-to” gatherings in the music industry. No wonder, and no doubt about it since a lot of musicians in different genres used to swing by to perform sets of their tunes in front of hundreds—and even thousands—of attendants inside the venue.
I could even remember that the FDLM once had Ortigas as its stage.
Well, fast-forward to 2015. Fête dela Musique were staged at 21 venues—including the concluding main stage in Intramuros, City of Manila. The rest, though, were situated at Makati City, where Greenbelt 5 and A-Venue housed the fete's two main stage; while the rest are pocket stages offering different genres and various lineups.
