BINI delivered a 10-song set in the Mojave Tent, a venue commonly reserved for emerging talent in the music scene. Their performance showcased the live premieres of the tracks \u201cBlush\u201d and \u201cBikini,\u201d alongside the fan-favorite \u201cSalamin, Salamin,\u201d and an extended rendition of the hit \u201cPantropiko.\u201d The eight-member ensemble honored their heritage by stepping onto the stage adorned in golden outfits and salakots, traditional conical hats from the Philippines, before transitioning into matching bright teal ensembles.<\/p>\n
