About this Song
Ninuno holds space as a sound woven from the creative currents of the Philippines, its classification as a Music/Mix rejecting the narrow, restrictive genre boundaries that often flatten the complexity of works that resist easy categorization. Unlike recordings that are slotted into a single genre to streamline how audiences engage with creative output, a Music/Mix designation signals that the work pulls from a range of creative traditions, approaches, and modes that do not fit neatly into one box, allowing the sound to exist on its own terms rather than being forced to align with preexisting expectations of what music from the Philippines should sound like. This classification does not erase the work’s ties to its geographic origin; instead, it expands the frame through which we can engage with it, acknowledging that creative expression in any region is rarely monolithic, that Philippine sound in all its forms encompasses far more range than any single genre label could ever capture.
