The SAMAHAN Filipino American Performing Arts and Education Center, Inc. presents its 41st Concert of Traditional Philippine Dances and Music at The Joan B. Kroc Theatre at 6611 University Avenue, San Diego, on September 10, 2016, Saturday, with two shows at 2 pm and 7 pm. Each two-hour program will showcase SAMAHAN's rich repertoire of traditional folk dances and adaptations of tribal rituals from different regions of the Philippines. All performances are accompanied with live music provided by SAMAHAN's string and gong music ensembles, namely the Rondalla and the Pakaraguian Kulintang Ensemble, respectively.
The concert repertoire is presented in diverse dance suites based on regional origin and historical influence, namely, the Rural, Maria Clara, Cordilleras and Mindanao. The elegantly romantic Spanish-influenced Maria Clara dances and the exhilarating dances of the country side or rural are artistically choreographed and performed with the lively music of the Samahan Rondalla. The rural suite features the ever-popular Binasuan which SAMAHAN dancers perform with skill and joy, the children's performance of Itik-Itik, and the creative version of Tinikling dance ending with a fast pace.
The rituals of the indigenous tribes of the Cordilleras in Northern Philippines and in Mindanao in Southern Philippines are customarily performed with the tribes' distinct types of brass gongs and bamboo musical instruments. Ethnomusicologist, Bernard Ellorin, PhD. collaborates with Artistic Director, Ruby Pearl Chiong, and the newly formed Creative Committee in arranging the performances of the ethnic dances and rituals with the traditional beat and rhythms of brass gongs and bamboo music.
The SAMAHAN Pakaraguian Kulintang Ensemble is one of the very few ensembles in the U.S. that play the authentic music of the Maguindanao, Maranao, Tausog and Sama tribes of Mindanao. Accentuating the authenticity of the ethnic dance performances are the vividly colorful native attires obtained from these regions. The evolution of the Maranao tribe's Kasingkil or Singkil highlights the Mindanao Suite. The presentation is put together starting with a woman's solo or group dance of skills to a choreographed presentation based on a courtship of a princess and a prince.
