The Abridged version:
- Twin sisters Kris and Kat Burce of Åna Tri sit down with Amatoria Fine Art Books owner Miranda Culp for a conversation after a performance in “The Stacks,” a new YouTube concert series from Abridged by PBS KVIE and Amatoria Fine Art Books.
- The sisters were raised in Guam but have roots in the Philippines. Eventually, they both ended up in Sacramento and planted themselves here.
- The Åna Tri sisters draw much of their inspiration from nature and hope to continue that relationship by building a farm.
Kris and Kat Burce have been harmonizing for a long time. The twins, or womb sisters as they refer to themselves, were born and raised in Guam with a close relationship to the land. In their musical project, Åna Tri, you hear their roots in the Pacific Island and the Philippines as well as their love of nature.
Åna Tri brought reggae and traditional Filipino inflected folk sound to “The Stacks,” a concert and conversation series presented by Abridged by PBS KVIE in partnership with Amatoria Fine Art Books. After their performance, the sisters sat down for a conversation with Amatoria owner Miranda Culp.
In the discussion, the Åna Tri sisters talk more about being rasied in Guam, the travels that landed them in Sacramento together, their goals of owning a farm and music studio and being expressive in their music.
