Manila-based DJ DAXX will present a groundbreaking fusion of a DJ set and a live orchestral performance at Cagayan de Oro’s Downtown Lounge on August 17th, as part of the Higalaay Festival. Following a successful debut at BSK Manila, where the innovative blend of electronic dance music and classical strings captivated the audience, DAXX and the String Quartet bring their unique performance to Mindanao.
The Higalaay Festival, celebrated annually on August 28th in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines, honors the city’s patron saint, St. Augustine. Formerly known as the Kagay-an Festival, its current name, meaning “Friendship Festival,” reflects Cagayan de Oro’s moniker as the “City of Golden Friendship.”
Downtown Lounge, a CDO hotspot known for its eclectic music choices, is the perfect venue for this unique musical experience. This fusion is made possible by FA Agency, who have orchestrated bringing the Manila-based string ensemble to CDO for this special Higalaay Festival event.
