| Description/Comments |
Ramon Obusan's Ballet Folklorico de Filipinas is a resident folk dance company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Manila. They run their own theater, give many performances throughout the year, and travel all over the world for every official purpose. Over the years the company's reputation has continued to grow, thanks to its exceptional artistic qualities, the competence of its creator, Ramon Obusan, and its untiring pursuit of ethnographic research.
In its desire to preserve and develop traditional Philippine music and dance, Ballet Folklorico de Filipinas offers insight into the various ethnographic aspects of its homeland, from the ritual dances of the mountain dwellers of Luzon to the folk dances of Mindanao, forming a marriage of Spanish-Mexican dances and ancient tribal customs.
For this tour, Ramon Obusan has mounted a program appropriately called "The Mysterious and Unknown Rituals of the Philippines" to capture the unparalleled spectacle that only the Philippine islands can offer. The company will feature 20 dancers & musicians performing with primitive gongs, moving to kulintang music or the rhythms of Spanish guitars.
Ramon A. Obusan, the director of Ballet Folklorico de Filipinas, is first and foremost an ethnologist. For many years he has ceaselessly scoured the islands to gather cultural and artistic vestiges of his immense land. He joined the BAYANIHAN Dance Company in 1964 as a dance researcher and later became one of its lead dancers. In 1972, he created his own folkloric dance group.
