KLASICAL is a repertoire of traditional classical Filipino music with improvements on instruments, symphony, melody, harmony, orchestra, and vocal that make up a combination of traditional local and Western music. The inspiration of this collection is to preserve national culture in these traditional Filipino songs and to achieve renewed vigor by means of upgrading sound to be appreciated across generations.

Even if you don’t understand a single word, you’ll likely find classical Philippine music to be a great way to relax and enjoy this unique style of Filipino culture.

It is a musical show about love, heartbreak, Filipino culture of courtship and serenade, passion, and poetic expression of love for country and history. Included in this rich collection are a few arias and opera pieces like O Mio Babbino Caro, Canto Patriotico De Maria Clara, and others.
All these songs and themes that transcend time and place will be carried out by Tribu’s immense talent and their unwavering commitment to musical excellence. Listeners can expect an updated and well-arranged musical score by one of the most sought-after musical directors, Pifo Cifra.
