💃🍣 May 31 our "Rock and Rolls" festival brings the slaps with the smacks as some of The Bay's favorite musicians set the vibes for devouring Pan-Asian rolls - think lumpia, sushi, gimbap, etc. We kick off this year with a performance by @rubyibarra and a set by @jpbreganza + more special guests TBA! Check the link in bio for set times. Stay tuned for more announcements...

We’ve been gathering chefs from across the country to represent the regions where Filipinos first made their mark on American history, but we’re not done yet. To close out the night, it’s only right we bring in someone who’s also cooking 🔥 Announcing our main performance for Isang Kusina in Las Vegas… . . . . . . . #Filipina rapper. Spoken word artist. Cultural disruptor. Filmmaker. Biotech scientist. @pinaysrising and @bolomusicgroup co-founder. And a long-time friend of the Istorya pamilya. RUBY IBARRA (@rubyibarra ) ‼️ When we closed out our pre-colonial chapter ORIGINS in June 2023, it was only right to bring in someone like Ruby to set the stage. Ruby is a powerhouse whose work bridges the gap between heritage and hip-hop. You know her as the 2025 @npr Tiny Desk Contest winner, where her performance of “Bakunawa” outshone 7,500 entries to make history on a global stage. Now, she’s bringing that same fire to the Isang Kusina table. It’s a beautiful collision of everything we stand for. 📍 Friday, May 22 📆 Keep Memory Alive Center #lasvegas 🎟️ Link in bio for tickets.

The next installment of our concert series, "Come Closer", is around the corner. We are excited to welcome @rubyibarra , a rapper, spoken word artist, and director from the Bay Area, CA Ibarra has toured across the United States, Canada, and the Philippines. She is the co-founder of the Pinays Rising Scholarship program as well as the Bay Area independent record label, Bolo Music Group. She has been featured on notable publications such as Rolling Stone, NPR, Huffington Post, Paper Mag, Vogue Philippines, Billboard Philippines, the Today show, NY Times, and the LA Times. Her latest release, "Bakunawa," is the first single from her forthcoming sophomore album and is also the winning song of NPR's 2025 Tiny Desk Contest. Inspired by bell hook’s powerful invitation to “come closer and you will see: feminism is for everybody,” this concert series features edgy, genre-defying sounds, and boundary-pushing voices inviting music lovers of all kinds to lean in, listen up, and experience something unexpected. Come closer—and hear how feminism moves. 🎤 Come Closer: Ruby Ibarra 📆 Thursday, February 26 • 7 PM 🎟️ Link in bio. $30 member, $35 nonmember. -- Image Descriptions: 1.
