The Great Filipino Songbook is back at Davenport’s!

Chicago, a city rich in cultural diversity, is lucky to witness an exceptional musical journey that celebrates the heart and soul of Filipino heritage. SamaSama Project, a dynamic Chicago-based Folk Fusion band, is coming back to the iconic Davenport’s on Sept 23. SamaSama Project bedazzles the most memorable Filipino songs undoubtedly shaped by American music from the past century.

In 1898, when Spain ceded its sovereignty over the Philippines to the US, the American regime brought a lasting influence on Philippine culture shaped by public education, mass printing, and a taste of American popular entertainment especially in music. SamaSamaProject explores the most iconic songs of the period, a harmonious blending of Spanish musical influence and American sensibilities and melodies that are truly Filipino.

This extraordinary cabaret show brings to life the cherished Filipino love songs bringing a fresh and modern take that everyone will enjoy!
