Kulintang in San Francisco

Kulintang in San Francisco

Kulintang is one of the Philippines indigenous musical instruments hardly heard in the country today.

But Danny Kalanduyan brought the Kulintang to America 30 years ago and kept its music alive.

Mang Danny is being hailed as a Kulintang Master Musician and became a recipient of Hillary Clintons National Heritage Fellowship Award in 1995.

Even if Mang Danny loves to play in a foreign audience, he knows that nothing could compare playing music to the Filipinos.

Kulintang sa San Francisco

Isa ang kulintang sa katutubong musika na hindi na madalas naririnig ngayon sa bansa. Pero ang musikang ito, dinala ni Danny Kalanduyan sa Amerika tatlumpung taon na ang nakararaan at hanggang ngayon, tinatangkilik pa ito ng mga tao sa Amerika.

Itinuturing si Mang Danny na Kulintang Master Musician at pinarangalan pa siya ni Hillary Clinton ng National Heritage Fellowship Award noong 1995.

Ayon kay Mang Danny, masarap tumugtog sa banyagang entablado, pero wala pa ring katumbas ang tumugtog para sa kapwa Pilipino.
