KALILANGAN 2016: RAVE PARTY

Kalilangan Festival is a festival held in General Santos City every year. This event is being celebrated in February and it showcases colorful parades and street dancing. The term “Kalilangan” means celebration, which is obviously why the locals are gathered every year to witness what the Kalilangan Festival has to offer. Not only the locals, but likewise tourists from other parts of the country are welcome to experience this event.

Kalilangan Festival also sees the unity of the different tribes, along with their respective crafts and items to trade, or for tourists to buy. This has become one of the most important events in General Santos City that showcases the culture and the heritage of the locals.

But one of the celebration got my attention the Rave Paryt. When the international DJ, DJ Tom Taus arrived that night Thursday on 25th of February 2016.  The DJ in our town announced it with pride the guest. But on my experience and what I saw that time our own fellow generals cannot adopt on what hte "Party Party" called it. Not all the people in the event enjoy it but we can see them in happy faces.

Rave Party was they called it when the DJ played his music and it must be a cheerful party.  Like what I have experienced in Manila, there are lots of party goers and mostly of them showed too much of appreciation of the music. Some dance like there was no tomorrow, It was great party at all because they liked it very much.

Because of that, I conclude that the civilization that we adopt here is not like in other place not only Manila but in other country we had seen. Here in General Santos, we are only particular and can relate in music like "Budots". (Pangkanto kumbaga Tot-tot-tot...) Because of that the only music that we heard was so different compare to the international DJ came here in played their music.
