EP.45 - Kardias Quing & Amber Bayani Music Lounge Series Feature for ExplorASIAN Festival

Welcome back to Filipino Fridays fam! We are so glad to be back and bring you something special for this month. In partnership with Vancouver Asian Heritage Month Society, explorASIAN Festival and CiTR101.9FM, every week in May, Filipino Fridays Podcast will be featuring emerging Filipino artists to perform live music sessions at the CiTR lounge. Make sure to tune in every Monday to discover over a dozen up and coming Filipino/a/x artists across multiple genres.

The first artist in our music series is a contributing soul to Vancouver’s music culture for nearly a decade. Filipino/Canadian artist Kardias Quing offers a message of love and sovereignty to her community. Through her collaborations with producer and long time friend Withinroots, they have cultivated and continue to create a repertoire that uplifts and empowers. Influenced by Indie R&B and Alternative Pop, her creative efforts cut through the woes of modern distraction, and bring us all back to our infinite possibility.

The second artist feature comes from the incredibly talented R&B vocalist, Amber Bayani. Whether it's a deep understanding of harmony or an acute ear for rhythm, Filipino Canadian songbird Amber Bayani has a gift for coupling the technical aspects of singing with the modern approach to popular songwriting. She has been able to build a strong rapport with her listeners purely based off of her honesty and her self awareness.

Thank you to our partner CiTR 101.9 FM for supporting this podcast.
