In honor of Araw ng Kalayaan, Philippine Independence Day, Rhythmix Island Arts presents

an array of artists celebrating the cultural traditions of the Philippine islands on the island of Alameda.

Parangal Dance Company will perform the evocative Hindu Malayan infl uenced dances of the Mindanao region accompa-nied by indigenous instrumenta-tion. Ron Quesada will deliver a fusion of ancient Filipino gongs with modern electronic dance music, dubbed “Kulintronica.”

Kristian Kabuay brings his modern performance style writ-ing system called Tulang Kalis (Poetry of the Sword) based on the ancient writing system,

Baybayin to Rhythmix this Saturday.

Kulintronica Choreographer, Jay Loyola takes inspiration from the Pangalay, the most dis-tinctively Asian of all the dances in Southern Philippine islands. ancient instrumental form of music composed on a row of small, horizontally-laid gongs.
