We are excited to invite you to our upcoming concert showcasing traditional Filipino folk dances and rituals that bring together people from all walks of life across various villages and regions of the Philippines.
This two-hour program features SAMAHAN’s rich repertoire of popular folk dances and tribal rituals, performed by our skilled, youthful and energetic dancers. You will experience colorful, authentic Filipino traditional and ethnic attire, set to choreography designed specifically for the stage. From ancient rituals and courtship to festive celebrations, the dances and songs truly capture the heart, richness, and diversity of the Philippines. The production reflects a deep, complex history woven from Indian, Chinese, Indochinese, Indonesian, and Malay roots, alongside prominent Spanish and American influences.
With the lively percussion of the Pakaraguian Kulintang Ensemble, three suites will showcase indigenous traditions, featuring the cultural dances and rituals of the Maranao from Mindanao, the Sama and Tausug of the Sulu Archipelago, and the Kalingas from the Cordilleras in Northern Luzon. The choreography is inspired by authentic performances, learned by the SAMAHAN Field Research team during visits to these communities last year. Audiences will also enjoy European- and Western-influenced pieces, including the graceful Maria Clara dances and energetic rural countryside numbers brought to life by the SAMAHAN Rondalla String Ensemble.
