TWO ARTISTS from Taiwan, HengJones and Our Shame, will be coming to the Philippines to join the fourth edition of the music festival All Of The Noise.

- Brontë H. Lacsamana

The event is slated for April 17 to 19 at two venues: Sari-Sari in Makati City and 123 Block in Mandaluyong City.

HengJones is an acclaimed hip-hop artist of Pangcah ethnicity, which is an indigenous group in Taiwan. Hailing from the city of Hualien, he’s known for trilingual rap that blends Pangcah, Mandarin, and English to tell stories of resilience.

Meanwhile, rising indie pop duo Our Shame has been gaining attention for their blend of acoustic folk and electronic music genres. They’re composed of singer-songwriter Estelle Huang and percussionist Isan Cheng.

Ahead of their performances in Manila, the artists spoke to Philippine press in a virtual roundtable interview on April 7.

“We're very excited to be performing in the Philippines for the first time. We've always been very interested in the sonic activity of Filipinos,” said Ms. Huang of Our Shame.
