We’ve been gathering chefs from across the country to represent the regions where Filipinos first made their mark on American history, but we’re not done yet.

To close out the night, it’s only right we bring in someone who’s also cooking 🔥

Announcing our main performance for Isang Kusina in Las Vegas…

#Filipina rapper. Spoken word artist. Cultural disruptor. Filmmaker. Biotech scientist. @pinaysrising and @bolomusicgroup co-founder. And a long-time friend of the Istorya pamilya.

RUBY IBARRA (@rubyibarra) ‼️

When we closed out our pre-colonial chapter ORIGINS in June 2023, it was only right to bring in someone like Ruby to set the stage.

Ruby is a powerhouse whose work bridges the gap between heritage and hip-hop. You know her as the 2025 @npr Tiny Desk Contest winner, where her performance of “Bakunawa” outshone 7,500 entries to make history on a global stage.

Now, she’s bringing that same fire to the Isang Kusina table. It’s a beautiful collision of everything we stand for.
