Founded in 1991 by Nitoy Gonzales, renowned trailblazing rondalla maestro of Bayanihan, the National Dance Company of the Philippines, his son Leonilo “Boy” Angos and Tagumpay “Pi” M. de Leon, son of Philippine National Artist for Music, Felipe Padilla de Leon, RCLA continues to shape the Filipino-American rondalla music narrative through an applied historical perspective intertwined with an entertainingly immersive aural experience. Characterized by a signature, highly-improvised style, each performance is a unique musical conversation. The Alliance for California Traditional Arts has recognized RCLA’s contributions and has bestowed both the Apprenticeship (2002) and Living Cultures (2012) grants to the group. In 2021, founding member Tagumpay M. de Leon was named a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)—the United States' highest honor in the folk and traditional arts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please see below for more information on Tagumpay de Leon: https://www.arts.gov/honors/heritage/...    • Tagumpay Mendoza De Leon: NEA National Her...      • "A Life in Rondalla: Celebrating NEA Natio...
