The Pakaraguian Kulintang Ensemble (PKE) of the Samahan Filipino American Performing Arts & Education Center performs traditional gong-chime music and dances from the southern Philippines. Pakaraguian is the Maguindanaon term for a celebration of music and dance. All PKE musicians are trained in performing music and dances from the five major Islamized southern Philippine ethno-linguistic groups: the Maranao, Maguindanaon, Sama, Tausug, and Yakan people. Since 2003, PKE has performed and taught workshops at various colleges, universities, and festivals throughout Southern California. As a traditional cultural bearer in San Diego, Pakaraguian strives to educate their audiences about a gong tradition that is related to other musical genres found throughout insular Southeast Asia.
