Every big name in the music industry started out in the local scene. Over the years of following artists from the Visayas and Mindanao, I have come to realize that the local scene is the best place to look for new and exceptional music. And this year’s Visayan Music Awards is something to look forward to if you want to witness exceptional Visayan music.
The Visayan Music Awards (VizMA) has just released the top 10 finalists for its songwriting competition. VizMA is organized by the Sacred Heart School for Boys Batch 1985 Foundation Inc. and is endorsed by the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas. Their aim is to recognize men and women who have played an important role in the promotion of the Visayan language, culture, and music.
The first-ever Visayan Music Awards Finals Night will happen on July 27, 2019, 7 PM at the Oakridge Pavilion, Mandaue City. The 10 finalists will perform a live rendition of their song with the Cebu Philharmonic Orchestra. Cebuano artists Karencitta and Max Surban will also be gracing the event along with the host, Giselle Sanchez.
