World-renowned PUP Banda Kawayan, PUP Bagong Himig Serenata and PUP Maharlika Dance Artists join IP Boston Rondalla in the afternoon shows dubbed “Kwerdas, Kawayan, Sayaw at Musika.”
The IP Boston Rondalla performances at PUP on Friday form part of the stringed instrument ensemble’s “Pinoy Pa Rin!” national outreach concert tour which aims to contribute to the revival of rondalla music and benefit several children and youth organizations in the Philippines.
