SamaSama Project in "Sarsuela ni Lola" (Grandma's Musical)

SamaSama Project ( united or together) is an ensemble of Filipino and Filipino American artists. True to its name, the Band's music is a fusion of traditional Filipino music and music styles from all over the world. It is one of Chicago's leading Filipino Folk Fusion Band. It has made its mark performing at the Old Town School of Folk Music. The band has also performed in Wheaton College, the Museum of Science and Industry, Navy Pier and the Skokie Theatre.

Sarsuela ni Lola is the band's first musical concert that debut at the Skokie Theatre on November 19, 2010. A shortened version of this musical concert is the featured presentation in SJA Simbang Gabi program.

Sarsuela ni Lola is a hilarious and heartwarming story weaved into music and dance about Carlo, a Filipino-American who comes home to the Philippines for the first time since he left as a young teen. He finds himself coming to terms with the past he left behind guided by his mischievous but thoughtful and loving Lola (Grandma). Original Filipino Music and traditional Filipino folk songs and dances as well as contemporary dances are featured."
