On Hand

Filipino-Americans Carry on Musical Tradition


Listen Later

Kulintang music, native to several Indigenous tribes in the Southern Philippines, has been passed down as an oral tradition over hundreds of years. That tradition has traveled 8,000 miles overseas, all the way to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Stateside Producer Ronia Cabansag helps tell part of that story. 

GUEST:

Gean Vincent Almendras, Philippine Ensemble Music lecturer, University of Michigan
