“BAKUNAWA XXI : HARMONIC RESONANCE (LIBRAKUNAWA)”
Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, and its at this point in the zodiac that we start to see a shift. While the first six signs of the zodiac focus on the individual, the last six focus on the individual’s contact with others and with the world. Libras are first and foremost focused on others and how they relate to them.
This edition of Bakunawa is dedicated to the 7th sign of the Zodiac. focusing on balance, harmony and a sense of fair play.
Join our all LIbra line up on their quest for peace and harmony as they exhibit and celebrate their Venusian sensibilities and aesthetics.

Biography
+ + +
The Bakunawa is a mythical sea serpent bearing a mouth the size of a lake, a tongue as red as fire, and two pairs of massive wings. Enamored of the moon’s beauty, the Bakunawa would fly straight out of the ocean and into the night sky to devour the moon whole—what we now know as a lunar eclipse. Pre-colonial tribesfolk would gather outside their homes banging loudly on pots and pans hoping to scare away the creature, others playing gentle songs with their bamboo instruments to soothe it to sleep so a brave warrior could close in for the kill.
With monthly “Bakunawa” events, Pinoy beatmakers and live electronic musicians of the BuwanBuwan Collective give a modern nod to these ancient lunar gatherings. With selections of both original and carefully curated electronic music, they aim to awaken, to mesmerize, and to bring people together.
Rounding up like-minded friends to have fun with each other’s ideas was the intention of Manila-based producer Jorge Wieneke V (aka SimilarObjects) when the collective was formed: “BuwanBuwan” refers to a traditional Filipino children’s game. Enacting the lunar eclipse, players draw a circle on the ground representing the moon, and must stay inside it. Meanwhile, one player acts as the Bakunawa: he may not enter the circle, but must touch another player within to switch places.
The BuwanBuwan Collective believes that in the playground that is music, everyone deserves a chance to be at the center. Being an odd fit for both the live band and EDM/DJ scenes locally, the group decided to play by its own rules. Thus, Bakunawa events are as much about people making noise as they are about the collective reclaiming the night—and sharing it with the now hundreds of like-minded listeners game enough to be there every month.
