Journeys through the Filipino Kundiman
Filipina-Canadian pianist Irene Gregorio collaborates with celebrated Filipino tenor, Sal Malaki (LA Opera & LA Master Chorale) to present a concert of Philippine Art Songs, popularly known as "Kundiman" - a genre of romantic songs that arose out of the encounters with the Spanish rule and colonization for more than 300 years, to the Japanese and American occupation in the 1900's. Themes of hope and love of the motherland were expressed through metaphor in these songs as an act of resistance and awakening. In this concert, Sal and Irene will present some of the most beloved Kundiman, and how it has fortified their sense of Filipino identity, reconnecting them with the fascinating history through songs.
