Cultural work was very central to the activity of KDP. KDP chapters prepared cultural presentations of singing and guerilla theatre at protests and educational events for the Filipino community and the broader American public. Working with Paredon Records, KDP produced Bangon! a long-playing record of revolutionary songs from the anti-dictatorship underground resistance, which circulated widely here and in the Philippines. Bangon! Is still available from the Smithsonian Folk Ways Recordings.

Using cultural activities for political education, activists organized a specialized drama group called Sining Bayan, which toured nationally, staging original productions that portrayed the Moro people’s fight for self- determination in the Philippines, the experiences of pioneer Filipino immigrants and that of the postwar Second Wave and the contributions of Filipino workers to the labor movement in Hawaii.
