About this Song
Rooted in the rich tapestry of folk practice that emerges from communities across the Philippines, this sound carries a sense of place that weaves directly into the names that form its core: Ey, Bacolod! / Masskara. Folk sound from the Philippines exists as a living, evolving archive of communal identity, carrying forward the connections that bind people to their home regions, their shared histories, and the traditions that shape their daily lives. Each folk work tied to a specific locale does more than reference that place; it anchors the intangible cultural threads that make that place unique, turning geographic coordinates into a vessel for shared feeling and collective memory that travels alongside the sound itself, accessible to anyone who carries a connection to that city, that region, that nation.
