In celebration of the National Heritage Month, music lovers are in for a musical treat with “Paco Park Presents: Puso ng Kundiman,” a free concert open to everyone, happening on 5 May 2023, 6:00 PM, in Paco Park.

The concert, brought to you by the Department of Tourism, the National Parks Development Committee, and Sound Experience Manila, features Sopranos Sherine Koa and Isabela Madero; and PIMA Guitar Quartet Monching Carpio, Adrik Cristobal, Patrick Roxas, and Iqui Vinculado.

As a showcase and a celebration of our rich and vibrant Filipino culture, “Puso ng Kundiman” seeks to portray the best of Filipino Kundiman songs. Kundiman is a classic and undying form of Filipino expression and emotion, a genre that has survived our national hardships, and a bearer of our culture’s memories and identity. Artistically relevant and integrally inseparable from our history, Kundiman is characterized by its rhythmic patterns and its melodious serenading progression.

Audience members can expect an enchanting evening filled with music that is uniquely Filipino. The performers will bring to life the emotions and stories embedded in each song through their soulful and heartfelt performances.
Don’t miss “Paco Park Presents: Puso ng Kundiman” to be hosted by Ms. Lara Atienza at the historic Paco Park on 5 May 2023 starting at 6:00 PM. See you there!

Paco Park Presents is one of the longest-running programs of the agency and a recipient of the Catholic Mass Media Hall of Fame Award for Best Cultural Program in 1988, along with Concert at the Park. The musical soiree was born on February 29, 1980, from the suggestion of Cristoph Jessen – the then press and cultural attaché of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany. His vision is to have an exchange program of artists and ideas that would promote the bonds between the Filipino and German people.
