Kalingas-North American NetworkKalingas-North American Network is a traditional folk arts organization whose members are Filipino-Americans deriving ancestry from the Kalinga hill-tribe inhabiting the Gran Cordillera mountains of the northern Philippines. The organization used funds to gather Kalinga families to record the traditional native songs and chants, as well as instrumental music using brass gongs and bamboo flutes. “ This project has established an authentic and original reference of our native music and it will serve as an important tool in our planned cultural education projects directed to our Kalinga youth. This is a milestone to begin permanent documentations of our Kalinga traditional music. With increasing globalization and integration of various ethnic communities, traditional arts and culture are slowly fading into possible early extinction. With this project and other future related cultural education projects, we are confident that our indigenous arts can be passed on to generations.” —Marshalfield A.
