Shining Sons is an up-and-coming group from the Eastside of Long Beach. Joshua & Jay Jimenez, A.K.A. Intellect & Jedi, are twin brothers who have turned their lives around from gang banging to learning about people's struggles, both in the U.S. and back home in the Philippines. Now they spread awareness through hip-hop and community, organizing with Anakbayan LA to inspire and empower the youth to be aware of their roots and the conditions of society, in order to create positive change in their community.
About FPAC 20
Now celebrating 20 years of tradition, culture, and community, FPAC annually features a variety of pavilions and stages for Pilipino artists to showcase their work. Two stages present traditional to contemporary artistry in music, dance, spoken word, comedy, and much more. The Pilipino Artists Network (PAN) Pavilion highlights visual artistry and craftsmanship in live painting, book readings, Baybayin (Pilipino script) workshops, and artwork for sale. At the Seniors' Village, one enjoys Harana (serenading) and storytelling. The Babaylan Pavilion features Pilipino indigenous arts, practices and beliefs, as a way of fostering reconnection with one’s cultural roots and promoting cultural identity. The Youth Pavilion engages children in kite-making, dance workshops, and Pustura (Dress-up in traditional Pilipino costumes), and arts and crafts.
FPAC truly is a family event with something for every age to enjoy!
