To celebrate the islands\u2019 languages and in an attempt to bring back a beloved musical program that has faded over time, the Commonwealth Council for Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts are holding the Kantan Isla Kk\u00e9\u00e9l\u00fal Fal\u00fau Concert at the Civic center in Susupe tonight from 6pm to 10pm.<\/p>\n
The concert will be highlighting the Carolinian and Chamorro languages through music, with an assembly of performers presenting their songs using the CNMI\u2019s indigenous language, Chamorro and Carolinian. <\/p>\n
The Kantan Isla Kk\u00e9\u00e9l\u00fal Fal\u00fau, (translated as \u2018Island Song\u2019) Concert is free of charge and open to all ages, welcoming families and community members to join the event at the venue\u2019s grounds, directly across the West Coast restaurant, and the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center.<\/p>\n
CCAC\u2019s Sepe Gloriana Teuira said that the event is, in a way, a \u201crevival\u201d of the Kantan Isla, which had been a former regular program that died out over the years. Teuira said the main goal of the concert is basically \u201cpromoting language through music.\u201d She added that all performing artists would be singing in either Chamorro or Carolinian languages and are encouraged to add a Christmas flair to their performance in the spirit of the holidays. <\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully it\u2019ll be an annual event,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
