Florante Aguilar is collaborating with Cascada de Flores to create concert performances and a recording of traditional songs from the Philippines and Mexico. The project highlights the musical commonalities and connections between the two former colonial subjects of Spain, and explores how both countries made their respective genres their own. The October 2023 programs in San Francisco and Napa will also feature original compositions, which pay tribute to the traditions while inspiring a new musical conversation and interaction. The collaboration is supported by fiscal sponsorship from Philippine American Writers & Artists, Inc.
