Fandangueros: Latin/Filipino Folk and Contemporary Music
November 14, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$15 – $25Traversing the musical footprints between Spain, Latin America and the Philippines, Fandangueros‘ compositions value tradition as well as their new iterations. Fandangueros started out as an outfit to support Florante Aguilar’s commissioned compositions and projects. The group’s identity later evolved through Florante and Chus Alonso’s shared passion for their country’s folk music – the Philippines and Spain, respectively. While Florante’s nationalistic approach is a nod to its Spanish influence, Chus posits that the exchange goes both ways – that Spain’s music is also the beneficiary of many folk traditions from Latin America and beyond.
Florante Aguilar – guitar, arrangements, compositions
