Please join us for our next "Kommunity Kultura" workshop on Saturday, September 8th at 5pm!
"Kommunity Kultura" is a traditional Philippine music, movement and cultural education program taking place at San Francisco's International Hotel Manilatown Center twice a month on select Friday evenings from 6:30pm - 7:30pm and Saturday evenings from 5-6pm
This program emphasizes instruction on the pre-colonial Philippine gong music traditions of Kulintang from the Maguindanao and Maranao tribes of the southern Philippines, and Gangsa, Tongatong and Singing from the Kalinga people of the northern Philippines.
Students will experience two very different regional interpretations of interlocking community percussion music. Both music forms are centuries old aural traditions with established musical protocols and strong links to tribal culture. Out of respect for these protocols, both music forms will be taught in the traditional manner and within the cultural context embraced by the tribes they represent. Since dance and regalia are also integral to both art forms, basic dance movement and an introduction to traditional attire will also be included in this program.
