Philippines’ Expo 2020 pavilion to highlight art media
DUBAI, 5 hours, 4 minutes ago The Philippines ‘Bangkóta’ Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai will display a cross-generational collaboration of select finest Filipino talents in a variety of artistic facets – visual and performing arts, digital media and other forms of new media. Led by the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (PDTI), the Philippines marks its participation to the Expo with a range of creative sectors. An original production entitled: “Our Gift to the World” is among the artistic expressions in the Bangkóta Pavilion’s interior spaces projected on a180-degree immersive surface. The five-minute multi-media narrative articulates the fusion of the 65,000-year human interaction in the Philippine archipelago and the 4,000years of water-oriented culture that shaped the Filipino identity of hyperconnectivity.

Paolo Garcia had a rough 2020, even by COVID standards. Around this time last year, Taal Volcano erupted, blanketing the Filipino musicianâs Laguna home in thick ashfall. Days after the volcanic fury, his father died. And two months later, the pandemic broke out.
His work didnât fare much better, either: the lockdowns cancelled virtually all his live gigs, shrunk his time with collaborators, and drove him out of sound studios and back to the corners of his home.
So itâs a miracle that Garcia managed the music calendar he did last year. He produced âMuling Kagatâ, a remixed rarities album of songs by Hotdog, the famed disco-funk band credited with birthing the Manila sound genre â and the group whose founding members happen to be his dad Dennis Garcia and uncle Rene Garcia.
