Ajuy’s Tambobo Festival to launch Original Theme Song

The municipality of Ajuy, a second class municipality in the province of Iloilo, 93 kilometers away from Iloilo City is a town rich in natural resources from agricultural land, marine resources, pristine seashore, beautiful islands and culture-loving people will be celebrating its annual Tambobo Festival this September 8-10, 2015. “Tambobo” is a Hiligaynon term for “a storehouse or a storage structure for agricultural products, or other goods and kept until a demand or need arises,” denotes a passionate presentation of the town’s incomparable and unequalled bliss of human, material and natural wealth.

Ushering a new frontier for the yearly cultural festivity, the Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC) – Ajuy Campus spearheaded by College Administrator Dr. Cryil C. Deocariza together with Ajuy Local Government Unit (LGU) under the leadership of Mayor Juancho Alvarez concerted an effort to produce the official theme song of Tambobo Festival this year. The original song written by RSLPhoenix Music and music by Jaylourd Zpinx Capalihan is a catchy fusion of tribal beats and danceable pop music performed by local artists Jamela Puyo and Rodjie Justado of Metaphorhyme.

“Pursuing the new creative and cultural concept to establish the official theme song and music video of Tambobo Festival this year, will serve as an eye-opener for other municipalities in the province of Iloilo to elevate the kind of promotion they have for their respective festivals,” reveals Dr. Cyril Deocariza. “Technology, social media and music are consistently evolving to suit the kind of synergy for young people these days.  The Tambobo Festival theme song is our effective medium to connect to people of all walks of life either locally or through the internet in promoting the cultural heritage of Ajuy,” he added.    

 The official music video co-produced by RSLPhoenix Music, Kuris Animation and Marx de Silva Photography will be released online with free audio download on September 7, 2015 at youtube.com. The song will be officially launched during the production number of ‘Lin-ay Sang Tambobo,’ a yearly festival beauty pageant on the same evening at Ramon Rojas, Jr. Memorial Gym.
