This March

...Cordillera Coffee takes you on a diverse cultural experience.

Northern and southern rhythms from the Philippine islands fuse in the music of Sruvaleh, a dynamic worldbeat group composed of Royce, Adlai, Karlo, Dong, and Jayson. Soothe your senses to their vibrant sounds! Check them out every 2nd Friday of the Month, 8:30PM at Cordillera Coffee Riverbanks, Marikina.

Learn more about traditional Cordillera music in a workshop with Ruel Bimuyag, exhibiting cultural worker and artist for Immortal Beauty -- a showcase of photographs from Cordillera, on Friday 16 March, 7PM onwards. This is the third instalment of workshops for Dap-ayan -- our series of free workshops on art, culture, literature, and other ways to express our love for country.

Renowned Cordillera artist Roland Bay-an exhibits his works on Cordillera women and coffee on Saturday, 17 March, 7PM.

Be mesmerized with indigenous music and dance ensemble Kontra-Gapi as they colour the night with choice musical compositions from different parts of the Philippines. Happens 23 March at 8:30PM.

Listen easy and spend a night of laid-back music on the 30th of March with veteran musician Gabby Adil. Sway to familiar tunes and revisit Pinoy music from the 70's to present, with jazz and other contemporary pieces. Jam starts 8:30PM.
