TRIBU traces its roots to the Aliw Award-winning cultural
group "Tribung Pinoy" from the 1980s, led by the late Danny Dolor, an
ardent advocate of Filipino culture.
Sweet Samaniego-Buchanan, a UST Conservatory of
Music-trained coloratura soprano, had the opportunity to sing with Tribung
Pinoy along with her mentor Prof. Gloria Dizon Coronel.
In 2011, Mr. Dolor received an invitation from the Cultural Center of the Philippines to mount "Harana sa Dapit Hapon." But reuniting the pioneers of Tribung Pinoy proved to be a challenge so Sweet Samaniego-Buchanan, with a strong aspiration to continue its legacy, formed the vocal ensemble Tribu, with the support of Ephesus Teatron Group. Inc.
Tribu’s primary repertoire consists of specially arranged
immortal Filipino songs ranging from timeless kundiman, beloved folk songs,
captivating zarzuelas, and stirring patriotic anthems, to well-loved Original
Pilipino Music.
With Tribu’s powerhouse of accomplished vocalists, its
repertoire evolved to a wide range of carefully curated opera arias, art songs,
Broadway classics, and timeless melodies from around the world.
After its premier performance at the CCP, Tribu headlined in
the following solo concerts: “Timeless musical series” (Venice Luxury
Residences, Caruso Ristorante Italiano, Palacio de Manila, Paco Park Presents,)
"Reminiscences" (RCBC Theatre,)
“Serenade” (Concert at the Park - Luneta), and "Klasical"
(Onstage, Greenbelt 1).
Tribu also had the opportunity to perform in various events
such as “Maubanog Festival Cultural Night” (Mauban, Quezon Province,) “Iconic:
Manila Food and Wine Festival” (Admiral Hotel,) “Expo Maritime” (Hotel
Sofitel,) “Aliw Awards’ Gabi ng Parangal” (Manila Hotel,) “Energy Efficiency
Excellence Awards” (Hilton Hotel,)
“AVLCI@17 Ball” (Chardonnay Events Hall by Astoria; “Festival of Lights”
(CCP,) and in “Likhang Pamana: Katutubo Haute Couture” (Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Hong Kong;) among
others.
The pandemic didn’t deter Tribu from performing and came up
with several online shows that are still available on YouTube.
In 2023, Tribu released its first album “Klasical Tribu: A Collection of Immortal Filipino Folk Songs.”
In 2011, Mr. Dolor received an invitation from the Cultural Center of the Philippines to mount "Harana sa Dapit Hapon." But reuniting the pioneers of Tribung Pinoy proved to be a challenge so Sweet Samaniego-Buchanan, with a strong aspiration to continue its legacy, formed the vocal ensemble Tribu, with the support of Ephesus Teatron Group.
