Original Chavacano Video Music Festival 2021

As we celebrate the month-long Hermosa Festival in Zamboanga City, it wouldn't be complete without the Original Chavacano Video Music Festival - a celebration of language, music, arts, culture and film all rolled into one! Since 2015, these original Chavacano song compositions reflected the cultural identity,  dreams and aspirations of the Zamboangueños especially in these time of the pandemic where everyone is together in helping one another to become resilient and achieve progress in every family, community and the entire city. 


The theme for this year’s song festival is “Fe, Amor y Esperanza” and must incorporate indigenous musical instruments in the music production (e.g. Kulintang, Agung, Kutiyapi, Kubing, Kagul, Palendang, Nose flute, etc). Fifteen song compositions underwent a process of screening and development for them to come up with quality songs and music videos. Every year, the competition is setting a higher standard and keeps on getting better in terms of music and video production.

Unfortunately, due to the imposition of MECQ on October 16-31, the live song performance was cancelled. However, the competition remained for the other two categories, Song Composition and Music Video. Here are the winners of the Original Chavacano Video Music Festival 2021:
