Back to back Sinulog Free Interpretation Champion group Lumad Basakanon is now on high gears as it prepares to return to the Sinulog 2009 Streetdance competition.
In a message sent to me a few weeks back, some Lumad Basakanon members confirm the news that they are now starting to formulate their dance routine for Sinulog 2009. Rehearsals are held at the Basak San Nicolas Gym every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8PM.
Lumad Basakanon was declared the Free Interpretation Category Champion of Sinulog Festival for 2007 and 2008.
They were also named as Grand Prize Winner in the Aliwan Fiesta for 2006, 2007, and 2008. Making them Three Million Pesos richer.
The pride of Cebu landed as first runner up last June 29 during the revival of the Sangyaw Festival in Tacloban City.
Lumad Basakanon has been known for their simple choreography yet very solid execution. Their trademark choreography and formations has earned them applauses wherever they perform.
This Sinulog 2009, Lumad Basakanon will be aiming for a three-peat championship. A Grandslam win for the dancers of Barangay Basak San Nicolas, Cebu City.
