notes
Pasko Sa Amerika (Christmas in America) follows the Iskwelahang Pilipino Rondalla's first release, Crossing Over, a collection of folk songs and original arrangements and compositions recorded in 1994 that reflects the Filipino American roots of the group. In this spirit, most of the arrangements in Pasko Sa Amerika are original and offer a fresh take on classic Christmas songs beloved in both the Philippines and the U.S.
Maligayang Pasko (merry Christmas) and happy listening!

author: ImeldaI just love this CD! I've been giving it as a gift to American friends to introduce them to Pilipino music in general and to Pilipino Christmas music in particular. I hope the Iskwelahang Pilipino Rondalla will release another CD.

Created by Iskwelahang Pilipino (Filipino School), a non-profit organization dedicated to educating children about their Filipino heritage, "Pasko Sa Amerika!" or "Christmas in America" celebrates holiday music from both the East and the West in this charming folk album filled with traditional stringed instruments. A refreshing break from the norm, this seasonal album is crisp and colorful.
