Established in 1990 and based in Los Angeles, Kayamanan Ng Lahi Philippine Folk Arts is committed to presenting, promoting and preserving the richness and diversity of Philippine culture through dance and music. Kayamanan’s artistic approach is based on anthropological research, resulting in an appropriate translation of traditional folk and folkloric Philippine dance and music forms and styles from the village to the stage. Noted for its extensive dance repertoire, costumes and music ensembles, the organization was praised by the Los Angeles Times for being “consistently exciting and a triumph of enlightened cultural preservation.”
