A combination of the Filipino Martial Art, Arnis, and a modern interpretation of the Filipino warrior spirit through the use of modern hip-hop beats and bamboo sticks.
The Suman Brothers and Halaya Sisters present the original dance of "Kawayan" - a hybrid form of rhythmic beats combined with elements of Arnis, modern stomp, and cultural flair. Established at the University of Cincinnati circa 1997, the Kawayaneros and Kawayaneras re-emerged in 2011 at the Midwest Association of Filipino Americans conference with an all new cast at the Ohio State University bringing a high-energy performance dedicated to the fighting spirit of our people.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
