Bakunawa Moonlandings: “Higher Grounds Horizons” is an event organized by the BuwanBuwan Collective, and is headed to Davao for a quick stop. Davao City will be the first leg of the tour, which is aimed at spreading awareness and knowledge about the history of beat music in the country and how Filipino culture influenced the uprising of this new style of music.

The event will consist of two parts: The first part of the event will be held on October 18, 2013, 9pm at Albertino’s Bar and Resto (near SM Ecoland), and will also feature the launching of LIEU Online Magazine’s 6th Issue. The Second part will be held at Apo View Hotel’s Blue Room at 9pm, the following day.

BuwanBuwan is a traditional Filipino game that enacts the lunar eclipse. Players draw a circle on the ground representing the moon, and must stay inside this circle. Meanwhile, one player acts as the Bakunawa, the mythical giant sea serpent who would eat the moon: he may not enter the circle, but must touch another player who is inside it in order to switch places.

BuwanBuwan has been all but forgotten by a generation of young, Filipino urbanites weaned on gadgets and mass media, but BuwanBuwan, a Pinoy beatmakers and electronic musicians collective, appropriate the concept of a game they in fact never played as children, transforming it into a framework for their perpetual creative exchanges, a take-off point for defining their indentity as Filipino artists, and above all, a common ground where they can all play.
