About this Song
Music/Mix, the core genre framing this work, anchors a sound titled Cuida that emerges from creative communities across the Philippines. For generations, musical practitioners in the country have leaned into cross-cultural exchange, weaving strands of creative expression that travel between island groups and across global borders to build work that resists narrow categorization, an ethos that the broad Music/Mix genre was created to hold. Unlike more siloed genre labels that seek to box creative work into preexisting frameworks, Music/Mix centers the act of combination itself, prioritizing the choices of creators to bring together whatever sounds, traditions, or approaches align with their vision, rather than forcing their work to fit the expectations of industry or critical gatekeepers.
