Himig ng Bayan is a venue for musicians and artists to come together and celebrate the best in Filipino music. Scheduled on June 27, 2009 in Dumaguete City, the Himig ng Bayan hopes to promote camaraderie among local artists and give budding talent the opportunity to learn from seasoned personalities in the industry.

Himig ng Bayan celebrates Filipino musical creativity with the following activities, to be held in different venues around Dumaguete City:

What if you could plug yourself into a computer, just like in the Matrix, and download directly into your brain how to play or sing your favorite songs from your favorite Filipino artists? In an instant you'd have learned the skills and techniques that took master musicians years to perfect. No, we're not recommending any drastic cranial surgery.

Instead, we're introducing Himig Ng Bayan's Workshops! A workshop means you get to sit down with your favorite artists themselves and learn directly from their own lips all the tips and tricks they have to offer.

Here at Himig we always strive to push the boundaries and bring more music to you, the people. That's why we decided to cut out the middle man and bring the stars straight to you! Why learn from tabs off the internet when you can learn directly from the artist?

Whether you're a musician or a fan, come check out the HNB Workshops. Strap yourself in and get ready to learn from the pros. It's as close as you can get to downloading their expertise straight into your brain. You'll have learned so much after that your friends will be searching the back of your head for the Matrix plug!

*No surgery required.
