Food for the Soul

Guli-at Kankabato is out with a vengeance this year powered by the local city government of Tacloban. Thus its posters screams I Love Tacloban!

This year is not only a showcase of local bands like the years before but it has also come to embrace different forms of art- writing, visual art and even rap. There is even a longboard and skateboard competition!

The Philippine Annual Gear Show's is on from 12 nn to 7 pm at the following locations:

       March 11, 12 and 14 - Bistro Caliente

       March 13 - Cerebro Bar

       March 15 and 16 - Balyuan Amphitheater

A longboard and skateboard competition will be held on March 11, Saturday, at the Kanhuraw Hill and Magsaysay Grounds from 1 to 5 pm. This will then be followed by the opening of the Art Exhibit at Bistro Caliente at 6 pm. Kick off the Gulia-at Kankabato event will be held simultaneously at Bistro Caliente and Cerebro Bar around 8 pm.

Sunday night will bear witness to:

     > art film showing

     > poetry reading

     > open forum on poetry ( siday perhaps) and songwriting

     > launching of  Daryll Delgado's book, After the Body Displaces Water.

Be at Bistro Caliente before 8 pm because it is going to be a tight fit!

I believe that Leyte, not even Tacloban City has ever had this art experience. 

March 13 is Grunge Night at 9 pm in Stereo Sushi. Act like you don't care and dress up in your best grunge outfit and be prepared for dirty guitar sound, strong riffs, and heavy drumming.

The Balyuan Convention Center will host the Guitar Clinic and Jam Session on Tuesday. A 300php registration fee is required though but it is all worth it since you will get to listen and learn from the experts.

Francis Reyes of The Dawn and Louie Talan of Razorback and Kalayo fame will be there. Kakoy Legaspi of Peryodiko, Sinosikat and Rivermaya will be there as well as the great guitar virtuoso Noli Aurillo. On drums would be Reli De Vera of Sinosikat.

The Guitar Festival will start at 6 pm the next day. The Balyuan Amphitheater will be flocked by Leyte, Samar and Biliran's finest guitarists and musicians.

The main event and culmination of the Guli-at Kankabatok Festival will also be held at the Balyuan Amphitheater the next night.

       

Stomp your feet and feed your soul. Let out your artsy fartsy side for this once in a blue moon gathering free entertainment! Broaden your horizons guys and take part in this event!
