Filipino music takes center stage at this year’s BGC Pinoy Playlist Musikahan, which returns October 17-18 at the BGC Arts Center in Taguig City with live performances, interactive music experiences and tributes to artists who have shaped the local music scene.

Under the spirit of “Musikahan,” the two-day event will explore the many ways Filipinos experience, share, and make music together.
