Gongster’s Paradise is a bi-annual kulintang event celebrating the growing community of kulintang music in North America. First of its kind, Gongster’s Paradise is a 2-3 hour celebration of kulintang music featuring different genres presenting the music in many different forms. 

The festival came to fruition after the passing of the late Master Danongan “Danny” Kalanduyan in 2016. His long-time student, Ron Querian along with his wife, Lydia Querian founded the House of Gongs and put together a gathering to honor the ripples of kulintang music that he started in the late 70’s.
