Kulintang Kultura- Danongan Kalanduyan & Gong Music of the Philippine

Kulintang Kultura pays homage to the late Danongan Danny Kalanduyan, a talented musician and generous teacher who championed traditional Filipino kulintang gong music in the United States, helping to keep the memory and practice alive. Disc 1 features Kalanduyan's ensemble at the peak of their powers in a recording featuring a traditional Philippine repertoire. Disc 2 turns our attention to Filipino musicians in the diaspora who weave those traditions into electronica, hip-hop, rock, jazz, and other contemporary styles. Kulintang Kultura: Danongan Kalanduyan and Gong Music of the Philippine Diaspora is the music of Filipinos both rooted and scattered, both ancient and modern-music that has held fast and continues to inspire. Two CDs with extensive liner notes and over 100 minutes of music.
