Please join us for our next Manilatown Ancestral workshop!
Manilatown Ancestral is the Manilatown Heritage Foundation’s pre-colonial Philippine music, movement and cultural education program taking place at San Francisco’s International Hotel Manilatown Center. Each of our family-friendly workshops focus on a new topic, are oftentimes hands-on, and are accessible to all ages and levels of ability.
This program emphasizes instruction on the pre-colonial Philippine gong music traditions of the Maguindanao, Maranao and Tausug communities of the southern Philippines and the Kalinga culture of the Philippine Cordilleras.
Students will experience these cultures’ interpretations of interlocking community percussion music. These music forms are centuries old aural traditions with established musical protocols and strong links to tribal culture. Out of respect for these protocols, the music forms will be taught in the traditional manner and within the cultural context embraced by the cultural groups they represent. Since dance is also integral to both art forms, basic dance movement may also be included in this program.
