LISTEN: BACOLOD MASSKARA FESTIVAL 2023 Theme Song (with lyrics)

Hear ye! It's the time of the year when,  every October, the streets of Bacolod, the capital of Negros Occidental, becomes alive again with reverie and people start to feel the happy vibes in the air during the BER Months (not becaiuse of Christmas season) but because of the Masskara themes are being displayed everywhere from malls to the streets.
Many already knew how this 3-week long festival started but for those who heard this festival for the first time, Masskara was created because of very sad events. In the 80s, Bacolod suffered many setbacks in its sugar industry thanks to the world p. That event back then caused havoc to the life of Negrenses and Bacolodnons because sugar was the lifeblood of the island. The sinking of the Negros Navigation MV Don Juan taht caused many deaths and missing people added to the injury to the economy. Thus the festival was born out of these sad events. Local artists convened to created a long-lasting event that will influence people to smile again in the midst of hardships. Smiling dancers with masks competed along the streets of the downtown area and people from all walks of life were attracted to the colorful costumes that were truly memorable, fun and creative. For years, its success gradually revitalized the economy and the spirit of Bacolodnons.  Under the leadership of Mayor Albee Benitez, MassKara came back after some years of hiatus due to the Pandemic.  On 2022, BALIK YUHUM (SMILES RETURN) becomes the battlecry theme of the post-pandemic Masskara.  
Fort the year 2023  on Mayor Albee's 2nd term, MassKara has a new theme called Sinadya sa Bacolod and it also comes with a THEME SONG performed by: Kyle Echarri, Janeena Chan and  Anthony Rosaldo . of the 2023 MASSKARA FESTIVAL (WITH LYRICS)  This is Released by Bacolod Yuhum Foundation |
