Lou Ella Rose and Friends: The Great Filipino Songbook May 15, 2026
The Great Filipino Songbook beckons you into the Golden Age of Filipino song, where tender kundimans and stirring melodies shaped a people’s identity. Reimagined by Lou Ella Rose and SamaSama Project, these rediscovered gems illuminate a truly American history of migration, resilience, and cultural exchange. Featuring guest artists Patricia Mosley, Tirzah Joy, Sonia Oyola, and R. Darryl Thomas, this performance brings vibrant arrangements and rarely heard stories that resonate with all of us today.
