Pasalamat Festival - La Carlota City

Pasalamat Festival Queen

We went to La Carlota City last April 29, 2007 for the Pasalamat Festival - based on the tradition of giving thanks to the Gods of the elements after a bountiful harvest by the ancients in “Buglas”. Our host is also our officemate - Fritz. La Carlota is more or less than 50km away from Bacolod City. As expected, there were so many food! I was not there for the food but for the street dance and also for the Pasalamat drumbeaters - which is, according to the locals, the highlight of the festival. I actually love the beat! The streetdance was expected to start around 2pm but it started around 3:45pm! Why? Because they waited for Loren Legarda! I’m glad it didnt turn out like what happened to Panagbenga Festival.

Anyway, here’s some more photos that I took that day.

   Wonderful shots Donj! Galing ng pagka capture mo!

   How is it compared to say Maskara’s or Dinagyang’s beat? Hehe sana may video rin or baka may short audio recording ka ng beat diyan

   There are some upcoming events/photo-ops posted in Shutter Box that might interest you

   meron! hehe…sa sunod naman na post…

   mas maganda ang streetdance ng masskara compared sa pasalamat….pero mas maganda ang drum beat ng pasalamat pangit ang sa masskara music lang kasi eh at original composition pa hehehe… di pa ako naka experience ng dinagyang sa tv lang hehehe
