MAHARLIKA

Founded in the 1990s by first-generation Filipinos in Germany, this award-winning dance group was created to keep the traditions of Philippine folk dance alive far from home.

Today, that legacy continues through Maharlika, carried forward by a new generation of Filipino children with the youngest performer being only five years old.

The founder, the late William Abrajano, a native of the Sulu region, introduced Singkil among other dances to Germany with the goal of teaching it in its original form.

What Filipino migrants first brought to Germany in the 1970s now lives on through their children and grandchildren sharing their heritage with joy, pride, and energy, and continuing a legacy long after these pioneers themselves are gone.

Now based in Germany, both first-generation Filipinos bring a vibrant multicultural energy to their performances. Keys n´Kisses regularly perform at festivals, Filipino community events, and private celebrations across North Rhine-Westphalia, creating lively, feel-good performances that keep audiences dancing
