World’s gong crazy and in thankful. Periodically I run kulintang as a search term here. Years ago what came up was around learning that kulintang music existed. In 2025 there is a lot of people demanding kulintang remixes of PPop tracks. More. Of. This. #gongstersparadise.

Live this May like it may be the last.

Solidarity and grief tweet.

Any kulintang music fans left here?.

There are FOUR LIGHTS.

Still here, still talking kulintang. What a space this is. I’ll be over hear playing agong rhythms praying for calm.

Our festival has been called Gongchella by industry as a shorthand for “music festival featuring Filipino indigenous culture and its evolving iterations but always bamboo and gongs” #GongstersParadise #Coachella.

If he did, he would qualify to be invited to Gongsters Paradise.

I bet that Kid Rock would appreciate kulintang music given the chance. As a turntablist, drummer, and songwriter I would expect him to learn quickly if he decided to study kulintang.

Either way the antidote is for artists to have direct relationship with their fans and cultivate independent spaces as long as possible.

So, the EO directs the AG to enforce existing rules that slightly disinsentivize scalpers. It was the previous admin that attempted to call TM/LN a monopoly.

Just hearing about Trump and Kid Rock going in on live entertainment. I’m going to read up on this but I hope the executive order serves to loosen the grip TM and LN have on venues.

Turn this TV off. The revolution will be IRL. People are flying in to share in indigenous Filipino wisdom and music. Join us May 3.

Carl Angelo’s new track “Like Me” now playing.

Gongs and a vocal performance worthy of its namesake. BAKUNAWA: BURN by White Boy Scream, Baseck.

The time Filipina musician @Leslie_Damaso from Mineral Point, Wisconsin brought her kulintang kundiman jazz to #GongstersParadise finding an audience who wanted kulintang kundiman jazz.

The new @bellapoarch is a driving rocker. While it doesn’t appear to have gongs, it is an excellent song with a good vibe. Looking forward to doing a live kulintang remix with this like I did with Build A B¡+¢h.

Kulintang goes Jersey Club in the hands of Wilhelmina. Appearing at #gongstersparadise .

Thank you to all who already purchased an early bird ticket to #gongstersparadise since we announced Siena Marie as a featured artist. She keeps us Interconnected.

I remember hearing Duterte chants pre-show amongst the audience at the Urban Dub Rico Blanco concert in San Francisco in the before times. If those names don’t ring for you look up “Evidence” and “Antukin”.
