Kulintang sounds like this, in the hands of the Godfather of American Kulintang music, Danongan Kalanduyan
youtu.be/b5OSK8xw_Bw?...
In the words of my teacher Danongan Kalanduyan, “pre-colonial, pre-Islamic, kulintang is Filipino music and it belongs to all of us.”
My life has been blessed by kulintang music and Danny is the godfather of American Kulintang music.
It is in his memory that I keep doing what I do
Fantastic thread on #kulintang music, and how it came to the Filipinx American diaspora via the lineage of culture bearer Danongan "Danny" Sibay Kalanduyan. Give @kulintronica.bsky.social a follow for more.

I hit that Follow All button so fast. How cool 🤩
A library's ROI goes much farther than the revenue they bring in. Including library as place.
And remembering friends' and colleagues' origin stories including libraries well. They are an agent of upward mobility, where there are only so many such agents remaining.
Thank you so much for sharing, Tricia! And hopefully we'll be on the same coast one day.
