In the words of my teacher Danongan Kalanduyan, “pre-colonial, pre-Islamic, kulintang is Filipino music and it belongs to all of us.”

My life has been blessed by kulintang music and Danny is the godfather of American Kulintang music.

It is in his memory that I keep doing what I do

Fantastic thread on #kulintang music, and how it came to the Filipinx American diaspora via the lineage of culture bearer Danongan "Danny" Sibay Kalanduyan. Give @kulintronica.bsky.social a follow for more.
What is kulintang? Maybe Bluesky needs to know.

Imagine a musical tradition hundreds of years old, kept alive in communities across a chain of islands in Southeast Asia; a music that speaks, literally, to its community.

A library's ROI goes much farther than the revenue they bring in. Including library as place.

And remembering friends' and colleagues' origin stories including libraries well. They are an agent of upward mobility, where there are only so many such agents remaining.
This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.”

“A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”
Innovative Study by UPenn and NYPL Finds That Public Libraries Positively Impact Community Health and Well-Being
"Our research found that patrons experience refuge, joy, connection, purpose, and expansion through their library use"
