The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) presents Organik Musik: 2 Palay Bigas Kanin in line with this year's Philippine International Arts Festival (PIAF) in celebration of National Arts Month as per Presidential Proclamation No. 683 in 1991.
This year's musical production is written by award-winning poet-educator Vim Nadera and will be performed by some of the country’s best contemporary music artists like Cynthia Alexander, Junior Kilat, Sigaw ng Tundo, and Radioactive Sago Project. Respected musician Joey Ayala heads the NCCA's Committee on Music.
This musical extravaganza aims to strengthen the link between the NCCA, the government body tasked to promote arts and culture, and the music community all over the country. Organik Musik 2 aims to have about 300 performers, to be able to reach 4,000 to 6,000 music lovers, artists, and enthusiasts throughout the country.
Organik Musik 2 is one of the seven flagship projects of PIAF 2010. It will showcase the historical evolution of Filipino music from the traditional bugtong and pasyon to modern-day's rap music through the use of various literary and musical elements.
Organik Musik 2 will be staged in the University of Santo Tomas, Iloilo, Tagum City in Davao del Norte, and Baguio City in February 2010.
The month-long celebration is led by NCCA Chairman, Dr. Vilma Labrador, Executive Director, Cecile Guidote Alvarez, and PIAF Festival Director and Head of Subcommission on Arts, Ricardo de Ungria.
