The 2008 Rakrakan Fest in Dubai

December 5,2008: rakrakan fest in Dubai, night like no other as TFC World Tour’s much awaited Pinoy Rock n’ Roll concert in Dubai was on it’s third electrifying year! It was bigger and better. It was one night full of rock n roll! It was the Rakrakan Fest 2008! Featuring FOUR of the country’s biggest and multi-awarded bands and band members from the 80s, 90s to the present!

It’s our favorite rock act from the 1980s! With their legendary hits such as “Bawat Bata”, “Isang Bangka” and “Salamat”, you sure have missed the band with their front man Jett Pangan when they decided to part their ways some years back. At present, the new and improved The Dawn is set to their second leg of Rakrakan 2008 in the Middle East (their first was this October’s Rakrakan Overload in Doha, Qatar). Joining Jett are drummer JB Leonor and two from the greatest bands of the nineties—lead guitarist Francis Reyes was formerly a member of Afterimage and bassist Buddy Zabala of no other than the Eraserheads. Hear their music once more and you’ll know why we ought to thank them for resurrecting The Dawn.
