The SAMAHAN Filipino American Performing Arts and Education Center endeavors to present its 44th Concert of Philippine Dances and Music. Titled as “Sining SAMAHAN”, the concert showcases the Filipinos’ cultural music and dances from various villages and regions in the Philippines. The two-hour program features SAMAHAN’s rich repertoire with vivid traditional attire. The concert repertoire includes indigenous music and dances to the archipelago, the Spanish and the American influences on the elite and rural Filipinos cultural arts in the central Philippines—all accompanied by the SAMAHAN Rondalla String Ensemble. The exhilarating dances and lively music of the SAMAHAN Rondalla and Pakaraguian Kulintang Music Ensembles promise an enjoyable evening! Through the Concert of Philippine Dances and Music, SAMAHAN Arts will present to the audience the artistry of the performing arts from the indigenous people in Southern Philippines. The Filipinos’ dances and music performed in rituals, courtship, and festivals, depict the people’s rich culture, customs and traditions. The diversity of their dances and music reflects the interconnectedness with Asian and Western traditions throughout Philippine history: from the Indian, Chinese, Indochinese, Indonesian, Malay, Spanish, to the Americans.
