The video above showcases our youngest KA student and our most advanced students playing two different pieces on the Kulintang ensemble. These pieces were taught to us by Master Kalanduyan before his passing in October. Though not in this video, Master K was present during this performance and watched his students in the audience.

This video shows the merging of LMDC and KA in live musical performance. This is from our performance at the Pistahan Parade and Festival in San Francisco, the largest Filipino American culture and arts festival in Northern California. The first half of the video shows LMDC and KA in the parade. The second half shows the groups performing on the main stage. Here, KA musicians accompany LMDC dancers presenting dances from Maguindanao, Southern Philippines.

Community Performances
LMDC and KA have participated on average, two performance per month since January. Below are digital flyers we have archived to show our presence in and around Stockton.
Community Showcase 2016
This year's community showcase demonstrated how art and culture can be used as a powerful vehicle for social change. "Ethnic Studies Na (Now!)" was produced in response to the growing adoption of ethnic studies curriculum in California. Our marketing materials, press release, and photos from the show highlight the scale of the production. The production was sponsored by the Asian and Pacific Islander American Staff Association at San Joaquin Delta College. Rehearsal space was sponsored by the Mexican Heritage Center. The video below shows clips from the performance. A full recording of the show can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mGfcJ97LSU
