Philippine Patrons of the Arts Presents Musikahan! with Maestro Ryan Cayabyab

‘Musikahan’ means ‘music-making’ in Filipino, and a trove of local artists and those from abroad will perform OPM (Original Pilipino Music) when Manila and Los Angeles come together in musical celebration!

Reminiscent of the Maestro’s long-running TV show Ryan Ryan Musikahan, stellar performers collaborate with Ryan Cayabyab on the piano and revisit the stages of his career as one of the most prolific and celebrated musical artists the Philippines has produced. Just from the wealth of selections from his ‘eras’ with balladeer Basil Valdez, teen singing group Smokey Mountain, musicals Katy and Rama Hari, one evening won’t be enough! The stage will be filled with voices, young and seasoned, as never witnessed before in a glorious blend of Filipino music and arts.

Current Artist Roster:

• The Ryan Cayabyab Singers, exceptional 7-singer performing group of multi-genre artists mentored by the Maestro, with 2 award-winning albums released in the Philippine market
• Giselle Tongi, actress/model, TV show host and producer
• Annie Nepomuceno, vocalist and music producer
