REMIX

In cases you missed out on our event last September called K.U.S.S. (Kilusan Underground Sound Sessions) We celebrated the 33rd Aniversary of The League Of Filipino Students over a night of the different elements of Hip Hop. We would like to continue our thanks to Mink Bar & Lounge for sharing their venue, all the performers including Nomi of Power Struggle for being our headliner that night and everyone who contributed and came out. Special thanks to Bernardo Josue for making (Filming & Editing) the video.

LFS Music Break! “MJ Medley” by MissCarolinexoxo

It has been a while since we’ve done this. but like the rest of the world, LFS’ members were struck by the news of Michael Jackson’s death. While we recognize the controversy that surrounded him and his music career, one cannot doubt his impact on popular culture throughout the world. You didn’t have to be a fan of his to know who Michael Jackson was. With all that said, enjoy a Michael Jackson Medley brought to you by SFSU’s own MissCarolinexoxo!

LFS Music Break! “Children of the Sun Remix”- Deep Foundation feat. Hydroponikz, Nomi, Koba, Kiwi & Encite

So our semester is winding down and we’re hitting those books preparing for finals. But while we’re drinking our coffee/ energy drinks and staying up until the wee hours of the morning finishing papers and studying for tests, we can’t forget the reasons why we do the work. The motivations that get us up in the morning to go to school/ meetings/ events/ etc. LFS would like to inject some nationalistic music to go along with those energy drinks to help stimulate all your senses. Today’s song is brought to you by Deep Foundation out of the East Coast and features numerous emcees, including BAYAN-USA Deputy Sec. Gen. Jack “Kiwi” De Jesus and Nomi from Power Struggle and ALAY (Active Leadership to Advance the Youth). Enjoy!

LFS Music Break! “Mr. Fat Duty” by Hopie Spitshard

With Diwang Pinay coming up this Sunday, we thought it’d be a good idea to feature a performer from a past DP in order to get you hyped for the type of talent you’ll see this year. Hopie Spitshard is a lyricist who performed at last year’s DP and has since released her debut solo album. Check out her myspace and support women in Hiphop!

San Francisco Filipino Women Rise Up Through Art

San Francisco, CA—As the weekend of International Worker’s Day, or Mayo Uno, approaches, the women of Babae-GABRIELA USA, League of Filipino Students, and Diwata Young Women’s Group prepare to not only celebrate the contributions of the working class worldwide, but to also celebrate the experiences and contributions of one of San Francisco’s distinct immigrant working populations, Filipino women. On Sunday, May 3, 2009, Babae, LFS, and Diwata hosts the 7th Annual Filipina Women’s Showcase, Diwang Pinay.

Diwang Pinay (Spirit of the Filipina) is an annual performance and silent art auction by Filipina/Filipina- American performers, writers, and artists. “With a 40,000 Filipino population in San Francisco, and more than half of whom are women, it is only appropriate to give light and praise to the different ways Pinays are living, resisting, and surviving today in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond,” states Marisa Mariano, chairperson of Babae.
