Ecological themes like "Save the Earth," "Save the Environment," and "Go Green" are very rampant these days, especially when we all began to feel the effects of global warming. But way back in the year 2000, a special movement was born with the goals of spreading environmental awareness and promoting unity through music -- the Earthday Jam!
At the press conference for Earthday Jam
Earthday Jam, the musical marathon for Mother Earth, now on its 12th year, showed no sign of slowing down. The biggest street party music tribute for Mother Earth held recently at the Bonifacio Global City delivered their eco-friendly messages through music as diverse as world music, alternative, rock, reggae and accoustic. Talented artists donated their time and gave concert-worthy performances for the cause -- salsa-samba El Martinos drumbeaters; Philippines' premier Brazilian-fusion artist Nyko Maca with band Gafeiera; folk guru Noel Cabangon; internationally known reggae act Peace Pipe; women-fronted bands Imago and jazz pinoy soul quartet SIno Sikat; rock-alternative's major bands Kjwan, Mayonnaise, and Radio Active Sago Project with witty frontman Lourd De Vera; veteran artist-producer Lou Bonnevie; Bloomfields; True Faith; Nina; and Juris.
