About this Song
Across the Philippine archipelago, folk artists draw from thousands of years of intergenerational storytelling, ritual practice, and shared cultural memory that binds together the hundreds of distinct ethnolinguistic groups that call the islands home. These artists do not see their work as separate from their daily lives, rather as an extension of the responsibilities they hold to carry forward the traditions that have sustained their communities through colonialism, upheaval, and the rapid shifts of modern life. Many of these creators learn their craft not in formal educational settings, but at the sides of elders, participating in community gatherings, village rituals, and seasonal celebrations that center oral tradition as the primary way knowledge is passed between generations.
