SamaSama Project is the Midwest's premiere Filipino Folk Fusion band. “SamaSama” translated as “united, together” truly lives up to their name creating a blend of Filipino folk, rock, ska, and Latin music, inspired by a 1970s musical movement called Manila Sound. Over the years, the talented group has  made their mark showcasing a fusion of Filipino traditional folk and contemporary music at many notable venues and events such as Navy Pier, Harold Washington Library, Chicago White Sox, Davenport’s Piano Bar, among others.

SamaSama Project won 1st runner-up in Best World Music Act by Chicago Reader’s Best of Chicago 2023 and was selected as one of only 20 semi-finalists for Chicago DCASE’s Chicago Made Music Showcase besting close to 200 artists.

Inspired by the drive to promote diversity and honor the shared history of the two countries they call home through music, SamaSama Project is currently touring “The Great Filipino Songbook”, a collection of songs and stories that shaped the trajectory of Philippine Music during America’s Golden Age of music.

SamaSama Project is set to release their 1st full-length album June 2025.
