Celebrate Filinx-American culture with a live music performance featuring The Sampaguitas!
Join us for live music inside the library featuring The Sampaguitas. Their performance will be a mix of songs and storytelling with a diasporic lens on Filipino American traditions and culture.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, The Sampaguitas sing Filipino folk songs and inspired originals in three-part harmony. Drawing influences from folk, blues, doo-wop girl groups, and the Filipinx-American diaspora, Jenevieve Francisco, Cristina Ibarra, and Aireene Espiritu share music from their roots and explore what it means to be in a “third culture” between worlds. The sampaguita is the national flower of the Philippines and only fitting to describe the sweet sounds coming from their melded vocal textures, tones, and tight harmonies.
