Abstract: Archiving Filipino American Music in Los
Angeles (AFAMILA) was as a yearlong archiving and documentation project
carried out by the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive and Kayamanan Ng Lahi
Folk Dance. Support for the project was provided by a UCLA in LA grant
from the UCLA Center for Community Partnerships. AFAMILA began in July
2003 and ended in June 2004. During that time a collection of over 200
audiovisual recordings documenting Filipino-American expressive culture
in LA was established at the Archive. Previously existing collections of
Filipino and Filipino American materials were accessioned into AFAMILA
between July 2003 and June 2004.
Physical location: Access copies for many of the
materials are available in the Ethnomusicology Archive. Masters are
stored at SRLF.
Language of Material: Collection materials in

Angeles (AFAMILA) Collection, 2003.05, Ethnomusicology Archive,
University of California, Los Angeles.
The AFAMILA Collection was compiled and deposited into the Archive by
community members and Ethnomusicology Archive staff between August 2003
and July 2004.
This year-long UCLA in LA funded community partnership had four main
objectives: 1) expanding the Archive's Filipino collections; 2)
increasing access to recordings already held by UCLA and the community;
3) producing a list of Filipino sound recordings, audiovisual
recordings, and other resources that are currently a part of the
Archive's holding; and 4) hosting an end-of-the-project symposium at
UCLA.
This collection consists of unpublished and published sounds
recordings, photographs, video recordings, and paper materials collected
as part of Archiving Filipino Music in Los Angeles (AFAMILA). The
AFAMILA Collection documents a variety of Filipino American musics and
performances, from traditional kulingtang to contemporary pop, and from
religious ritual to comedic parody.
