Band history:
The band started from a group of visual and performing artists
who shared the same passion and advocacy then they decided to venture into music.
After few performances and positive feedbacks from the audience,
came more invitations from different event organizers, and there it started.
The band was officially formed on the month of October way back year 2000 in Cebu City.
With members coming from Luzon, Visayas,and Mindanao
A fussion of different Filipino traditional beats with an element of todays modern music
using indigenous instruments which were mostly hand made
and adding up the modern drums and bass guitar
thus producing a distinctive Kadangyan sound and music...
Now KADANGYAN specializes in ethno-tribal rock music,
likewise plays in an acoustic set-up, provides natural ambient music
and performs different kinds of Filipino native rituals on different venues and special occassions.
In 2002, the band released their first independent album.
Included in the ten tracks CD is the song “Kaluluwa†which is a universal soul chant and a call for rain
Aside from the Ms. Earth competition, the group has performed in events such as “Sarap to sundown†,
“Octoberfest 2004†in Mindanao and Fete dela Musique 04-07 in Manila.national university singapore-sept.27-oct.04 2008
Now they are currently working on their next album.
As what KADANGYAN always says that “The beauty of every place in the world is it’s own culture!†…
