Celebrate Play Music on the Porch Day in Panama City
Play Music On The Porch Day knows that music is powerful and universal. It doesn’t matter if you play an Oud, a Guitarrón, a Nyckelharpa, or a Guitar. When you pick up your instrument and start to play the world disappears and you get lost in the sounds. We’re celebrating International Play Music on the Porch Day in Panama City to share Panama City’s local talents, passions, and music with the world.
The History Behind Play Music on the Porch Day
Street performance has long history dating back hundreds of years to the Medieval era. Busking was encouraged by local merchants and public squares to welcome visitors and shoppers. While not as popular today, the allure of a busker still has its effect on the public today, inviting visitors to public spaces and local storefronts to welcome their business. Play Music on the Porch Day invites musicians all over the world to revive that tradition every year on the last Saturday of August.
