KADANGYAN is a Cordilleran term which literaly means "rich",

As for the group, richness is not only measured thru material wealth for it is only temporary.
We are rich because of what we are from within, and what we have inherited from our ancestors, and that is our culture and our tradition, may it be in Art or Music form and that make us distinct as Filipinos.It is our identity and proudly we can share this to the rest of the world.

MISSION and VISION

* To revive and evolve the vanishing Philippine culture
* To promote appreciation for the Philippine ethnic music
* To promote a moral and drug free music
* To promote environmental concerns and humanism
* To support universalism and peace

History:

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 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!”…
