Capampangan in Media, Inc. (CAMI), keenly focused on revitalizing Kapampangan arts and culture, will present the highly acclaimed Arti Sta.Rita, a group of performing artists led by the versatile performing artist Andy Alviz, and Pidayit, the popular creations of fashion genius and philanthropist Philip Torres, in “Renaissance of Kapampangan Art and Culture.”
Ashley Manabat, CAMI president said that he event, slated on November 25, 2022 at Royce Hotel, will be a prestigious one as CAMI will honor the staunch patrons and supporters of Kapampangan arts and culture and distinguished Pampangos who will be conferred awards of excellence in various fields.
According to Manabat, “Fashion producer Torres is the creator of Pidayit fashion, using scrap cloth (pitabasan) beautifully created and interlinked. Pidayit, now gaining popularity here and abroad, has been employing many street children to create the Pidayit textile.”
“Meanwhile, Alejandro “Andy” Alviz, leader of ArtiSta.Rita, has been dedicating his life for the renaissance of Kapampangan arts and culture as singer, composer, director and choreographer. With his artistry, Alviz has consistently sought to elicit feelings of hope and cooperation among the people of Pampanga. Outside of his own music, he served as resident choreographer for the Miss Saigon productions in Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and Manila and as stage director-choreographer for Binibining Pilipinas,” Manabat added.
