#DEFENDPRESSFREEDOM
Buwan-Buwan is a traditional Filipino game that enacts the lunar eclipse. Players draw a circle on the ground representing the moon, and must stay inside this circle. Meanwhile, one player acts as the Bakunawa, the mythical giant sea serpent who would eat the moon: he may not enter the circle, but must touch another player who is inside it in order to switch places.

Buwan-Buwan has been all but forgotten by a generation of young, Filipino urbanites weaned on gadgets and mass media, but BuwanBuwan, a Pinoy beatmakers and electronic musicians collective, appropriate the concept of a game they in fact never played as children, transforming it into a framework for their perpetual creative exchanges, a take-off point for defining their indentity as Filipino artists, and above all, a common ground where they can all play.

What Nights of Rizal (Migi de Belen) actually sounds like is a singer-songwriter trying to give up his guitar—and his hopes of ever finding permanent bandmates—for a laptop running music software. Beginning as an instrumental project (as heard on EP Collected Beats Vol. 1 released 2011 and re-released via BuwanBuwan Collective in 2017), Nights of Rizal's take on electronic music soon proved to be an exciting vehicle for singing, when at the time Migi had just returned from his week-long workshop at the Philippines' 1st ever Elements National Songwriting Camp.

In 2013, the Karma Zero EP was released, a 6-track exploration of various genres ranging from dubstep to drum &amp; bass, and even chiptune. The unique balance of songwriting and electronic production led to features on several publications, notably on Vandals On The Wall who deemed it the #1 Local EP of 2013. The strength of his live sets also led to a performance for Malaysia's The Wknd Sessions.

After several years of pursuing various creative endeavors, Nights of Rizal comes back to making more music in 2018 with 10 new songs: his 1st full-length album summer/salt.
