Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

In June 2007, five American musicians from Cultures in Harmony lived for a week with the Tala-Andig tribe in the remote mountain village of Miarayon on the Filipino island of Mindanao. During that week, the Americans taught the Tala-Andig about music composition, while the Tala-Andig taught Cultures in Harmony all about their ancient indigenous traditions and customs. This meeting between two starkly different cultures produced five beautiful compositions which celebrate the Tala-Andig tribe while fusing Western and indigenous musical influences. This film documents this extraordinary encounter in a way you will never forget:
