KADANGYAN is a Cordilleran term which literaly means rich, but the group means rich inside and rich in culture.
The band started from a group of visual and performing artists who shared the same passion and advocacy then they decided to venture into music.
After a few performances and positive feedbacks from the audience, came more invitations from different event organizers all over Cebu, and there it started. The band was officially formed on the month of October way back year 2000.
With members coming from the different parts of the country. Kadangyan produced songs that were very distinctive and unique using Filipino indigenous instruments which were mostly hand crafted.
Now KADANGYAN specializes in ethno-tribal rock music, and likewise plays in an acoustic set-up, provides natural ambient music and performs different kinds of Filipino native rituals on music bars, on-stage, theatres, universities, conventions or even on private parties and special gatherings.
As what KADANGYAN always says that “The beauty of every place in the world is it’s own culture!”
