About this Song
Music/Other, a classification that intentionally carves out space for works that resist the narrow boundaries of common, widely circulated genre labels, centers Sikulo, the collaborative sound created by Angela Ken, Maki, and Nhiko, three creators rooted in the Philippines’ rich, endlessly diverse artistic landscape that has long nurtured creative work that defies easy categorization. The Philippines’ musical ecosystem is one that weaves together countless threads of creative expression, from long-standing indigenous traditions passed down through generations of communities across the archipelago to the experimental forms that emerge from contemporary creative hubs scattered across the country’s islands, and the Music/Other classification exists specifically to hold works that draw from, blend, or step entirely outside of the frames that are typically used to organize and market recorded sound.
