22 Tango Records’ Holiday Folk

The holidays are coming up and 22 TANGO Records is bringing Folk City back!

Folk City is a 22 Tango Records pop-up event that has toured the metro since early 2013. Following up February’s Folk City Love and July’s Folk City Album Launch Series, HOLIDAY FOLK is another Folk City Series that will showcase 22 Tango Records’ brand of music, this time with some holiday cheer!

Happening on four Tuesdays in December, HOLIDAY FOLK will feature 22 Tango Records’ roster of artists as well as new acts discovered from Tono Tango, a singer-songwriter series that was launched back in August.

Folk City is the brainchild of 22 Tango Records, an established independent record label and home to some of Cebu’s finest singer songwriters and musicians. Through Folk City, the record label hopes to encourage a community that aspires to create original music with a deep sensitivity to songwriting and aims to develop an appreciation for original music to a new niche of local music listeners.

As Cebu’s music scene is highly populated with indie-rock and acoustic cover acts, Folk City provides a venue for those who do not belong to specific cliques or categories. This includes electronic acts, digital and modern folk acts and singer songwriters.

Last July 2014, 22 Tango Records released a Folk City compilation album featuring 13 tracks from different artists in Cebu and other parts of the world. Running for almost two years now, it is grateful for gaining the support of Cebu IT Park and The Walk.

Celebrate the holidays with every 8PM  Tuesday at The Walk in IT Park Cebu. Enjoy music from the Wonggoys, Ella Melendez, Mary Anchit and Jessica McYorker as well guest performers Refrain and Ivy Gallur. Relish in the new sounds from Vincent Eco, Kersly Potter, My Dragon Eats Cat Food and more! Catch Holiday Folk: A Folk City Christmas Series this December 9, 16, 23 & 30. The music starts at 8PM until 12AM. You may also buy Folk City CDs on site, perfect to give away as gifts for the holidays.
