10 ABU member countries joined the virtual event

Ten countries participated in the 10th ABU TV Song Festival 2021, organized by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) on November 18th. The festival was held virtually with all of the performances in the show being pre-recorded.

The participant countries included Brunei, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Macau, Malaysia, South Korea, Turkey and Vietnam. This year’s festival features the smallest number of entries in the event’s history which was first launched in 2012 in Seoul of South Korea. The ABU TV Song Festival is envisioned as an annual international gala event to be organized in coordination with ABU members.

With the robust cooperation of ABU member organizations, the Festival showcased top solo or group talents hailing from an array of national music scenes. It is a non-competitive, cordial musical gala presentation, with the intention to recognize the musical talent of Asian musicians across Asia.
