The Tita Collective Podcast

The Sonar Network

Kamusta! We are the Tita Collective, award winning multidisciplinary artists based in Canada. We dance, we sing and we will make you snort-laugh halo halo through your nose. In our podcast, we will be chatting about Filipin* arts and culture as a reflection of our lives as Filipinas in the diaspora. We might even bring some guests along the way, from fellow Filipin* artists to our very own Titas. So don’t miss an episode anak! Come chika chika with your Titas! Find us on social media at Tita Collective on Facebook, @tita.collective on Instagram, and @tita_collective on Twitter! Salamat for listening! read less
