A Romantic Celebration of Philippines' Kundiman and OPM during Harana: A Valentine's Serenade

OPM with the Quartet

The jazz quartet was completed with the special participation of our guests, Coleman Bayliss, a jazz-funk bassist hailing from Australia, and Richie Henry, a drummer from the Southern Coast of Mississippi. We performed arrangements of beloved OPM (Original Pilipino Music) in the 80s such as Rey Valera's Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko, Sitti, and The CompanY. We varied our repertoire with Broadway musicals. 

We're thrilled to share that our recent concert was a sold-out success, drawing a wonderfully diverse audience from around the globe. It was a joyful celebration and a meaningful opportunity to connect with more fellow Filipinos, while also sharing the richness of our culture, music, language, and history with the broader international community.

Since our last performance, our audience has continued to grow—a testament to the warmth and enthusiasm we've received. We're profoundly grateful for your unwavering support. As always, we remain dedicated to our mission: to showcase the beauty and depth of Filipino musical and cultural heritage, and to bring it to audiences around the world.

Our main goal with this concert series is to celebrate and promote the rich cultural and musical heritage of the Philippines to international communities here in Tokyo. We're thrilled to be reaching wider audiences and sharing these uniquely Filipino musical experiences in the heart of the city.

Each performance will highlight world-class Filipino talent—both based in Japan and visiting from abroad—showcasing the diversity and excellence of our artists.

We invite you to join us on this journey and continue supporting our future performances. Maraming salamat at mabuhay!
