[MEBUYAN note: Dan Godston invited Geejay Arriola as Artistic Director of Mebuyan to participate in Chicago Arts Calling. Deepening discussions conducted online led to the collaboration with Renee Baker who initially chose two of Geejay's compositions but ended up choosing to work on Geejay's co-musician Paolo Sisi's award-winning "Mag-iban Kita." This "last-minute" change was not reflected in the press release below and the Chicago Arts Calling website, but Geejay mentioned this in the live phone call during Renee's performance.]
EVENT:
U.S. and abroad. These collaborations will be prepared or improvised, and some performances will involve live feeds between Chicago and elsewhere.
