About this Song
Rock&Roll has long transcended its mid-20th century American origins to absorb, reimagine, and weave itself into cultural landscapes far beyond its initial geographic home, taking on new layers of meaning and resonance wherever it takes root, and in the Philippines, that adaptation has produced a rich body of work that anchors global rock and roll sensibilities to longstanding local cultural traditions, none captured here with the same vivid intersection of identity and genre as Harana. From its earliest days, rock and roll’s core identity was built on hybridity, merging disparate African American and white American musical forms to create something entirely new that spoke to the shifting realities of a generation coming of age amid rapid social change.
