The Samba de Regatta Competition is a recent addition to the Iloilo Paraw Regatta Festival inspired by the Mardi Gras Parade in Brazil. Since last year, it has turned up the heat during the festivities with its flaming hot dances, rhythmic music, and alluring costumes. Two performances comprise the Samba de Regatta: The torch parade held in downtown, Iloilo City and the beach performance in Villa Beach, Arevalo.

Samba de Regatta is a celebration of Ilonggo seafaring ingenuity! It is a celebration expressed in music and dance. The Samba de Regatta Music and Mardi Gras Competition is hoped to be slowly developed into another tourism spectacle of the city. Conceived to be a special event after the take-off of the competing “Paraws” to entertain the anxious spectators, it has gained the acceptance and enjoyment of the witnessing regatta crowd along the beach of Villa in Arevalo.  Read More:  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/320740804687445714/

Aside from the paraw race, which is the highlight of the feast, the organizers prepared other events to continuously promote Iloilo and to educate more locals and guests about paraw.  The entire week has a packed out schedule with a variety of sports and cultural events, and food fests.

One of the most watched side events is the Samba de Regatta. This colorful and exhilarating event expressed through music and dance is a commemoration of Ilonggos’ seafaring ingenuity. The upbeat version of some Ilonggo folk songs combined with modern music is the perfect diversion for the anxious audience.

Initially, the Samba de Regatta served as an entertainment and a jaw-dropping distraction for eager spectators who are passing time to know who will win the sailboat race, but because of its rising fame, the committee organized a Mardi Gras Competition in the previous years, where in different school-based and private musical and artistic groups participated. The competition was brought to the city streets with optimism that the entire city will become more knowledgeable of the Paraw Regatta Festival.  Read More:  http://www.iloilo.net.ph/iloilo-paraw-regatta-2014-sidelights/
