About this Event

Gongster's Paradise is the ONLY Kulintang Festival in North America featuring artists from all over the world.

A collective of Gongsters (kulintang and indigenous music practitioners) who have build their body of work around embracing indigenous instrumentation, gathers to build community and be one with community. The festival aims to show different practices rooted from the ripples ignited by Master Artist Danny Kalanduyan who has established a community of kulintang practitioners.

Danny's establishment of Kulintang music in North America has created generations of practitioners who are guided by his instruction. They have embraced Filipino Indigenous music into their body of work, presented in different genres, including hip-hop, rock, jazz, R&B, electronic dance music, and many more.

This year's theme, "A New Force," shines a spotlight on the inspiring journey of new artists blending Indigenous instruments like the Kulintang with their unique art styles. We're thrilled to welcome back Master Artists and to feature a veteran performer from the motherland, adding a powerful new energy to this year's Gongsters Paradise. Join us for an exciting 4-hour festival filled with music, dance, and delicious food, celebrating fresh creativity and cherished traditions!

ARTIST WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
