Sitti, Bamboo concerts spice up Dinagyang festival

Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART), the Philippines’ leading wireless services provider, added excitement to the annual Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo City through a three-part concert series held last January 24 to 27 at the city’s hotspot, the Riverside Boardwalk. The concert series were led by music sensations that included bossa nova performer Sitti Navarro and Pinoy rock band Bamboo. Festival participants likewise enjoyed the musical stylings of local performers Patikeros and Eileen Sison with the Guarana Band, and the Escola de Samba. Traditionally held every fourth Sunday of January to honor the holy image Sto. Niño, the Dinagyang Festival is one of the country’s brightest and most colorful festivals bringing together a huge crowd of Filipinos and tourists.
