Never been to any\u00a0Malasimbo Art and Music Festival<\/strong> in the past years? Well, here’s something you should expect at Malasimbo 2020!<\/p>\n

Slated to happen on February 29 to March 1, 2020<\/strong>, the\u00a0country’s pioneering music and arts festivals in the last decade\u00a0is on a mission to continue uplifting the Filipino music and arts scene at its new home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Malasimbo Arts and Music Festival have always been close to the ocean\u2014in Puerto Galera. That is why when they announced that they will have a new venue for their 10th year edition, everyone just had to ask, “How would Malasimbo Festival be more close to nature?”<\/p>\n

In a press conference that happened last January 16, the first arts and music festival in the Philippines chose La Mesa Eco Park<\/strong> as their new home because it is\u2014first and foremost\u2014close to their advocacy,\u2060 which is environmental awareness.<\/p>\n

This very idea that came from Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte was immediately\u00a0acquired by Malasimbo Arts and Music Festival Founder and Director Miro Grgic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Home at\u00a0La Mesa Eco Park<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Miro Grgic said that when he did an ocular in the targeted venue, he felt “extremely excited” to be able to have La Mesa Eco Park as Malasimbo’s new home.<\/p>\n

He said that he has always been looking for an alternative venue closer to their primary market, which are the residents from Quezon City, Makati, The Fort, and the South area. And for him, La Mesa Eco Park is the perfect and their “dream venue”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aside from seeing the place as their dream venue, the Malasimbo committee feels honored to help people take a break\u00a0from concrete buildings and traffic as well as feel like “life is okay”. And since only a few knew that La Mesa Eco Park exists, they also see Malasimbo 2020 a way for them to introduce the place to everyone else.<\/p>\n

Unearthing activities for everyone<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Since Malasimbo Festival has always been a\u00a0sound quality conscious event, one of the good things that you can expect from here is\u00a0you don’t have to worry about wearing earplugs, jam screaming, and loud talking\u00a0with your friends as Malasimbo founder prioritizes the goodness of the sound rather than the volume itself.<\/p>\n

That is why there would be both live music performances<\/strong> and silent disco<\/strong> but, each one will happen in different areas in the eco-park. The live music will be\u00a0at the Amphitheater<\/strong>, while the latter will be held\u00a0at the Drilon Orchidarium<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"La Mesa Eco Park Amphitheater\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Drilon Orchidarium\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, we are lucky enough to have the chance to try the silent disco in the Drilon Orchidarium! Each guest who wants to try the silent disco will be given individual headphones wherein\u00a0at least three DJs will be playing different genres and\/or songs for you to select from and to enjoy.<\/p>\n

No need to worry about the level of volume as you will also be the one in charge of it. On the left earpiece is where you can adjust the volume, while on the right side is where you can change the genre or song playing on your headphones.<\/p>\n

Plus, the headphones have a neon light earpiece that would light up the\u00a0whole festival area\u00a0during the night.<\/p>\n

\"\"Headphones for the silent disco<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Aside from the live music and silent disco, Malasimbo 2020 also offers some other activities! There would also be an\u00a0<\/span>art and wellness programs<\/b>\u00a0at the<\/span> Narra Grove Pavilion <\/b>to help you explore music inspirations and its healing effects using various resonant tools and musical instruments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During<\/span>\u00a0sunrise and sunset, there is going to be a meditation, yoga, and dance. Family activities will be held at the <\/span>swimming pool<\/b> as well as a <\/span>DJ party<\/b>\u00a0in the middle of the rainforest. How exciting is that?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Sunset in La Mesa Eco Park<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Excitement doesn’t end there as there would also be a tour in\u00a0different areas in the park using green technology and solar-powered vehicles from\u00a0<\/span>Star 8 Green Technology Corp.\u00a0<\/b>And of course, what everyone is dreaming of\u2060\u2014 to meet famous artists in the music industry,<\/p>\n

The festival will also have a\u00a0music business conference<\/b>\u00a0at the <\/span>Drilon Orchidarium <\/b>where\u00a0<\/b>music lovers will get to exchange a conversation with the artists who will be playing for them\u00a0during the two-day\u00a0music and arts celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Genres will revolve around the sole, jazz, funk, world music, reggae, afro, Cuban music, gypsy jazz and a whole lot more!<\/p>\n
