About This Album
Rock & roll has long served as a vessel for unapologetic, community-rooted creative expression across the Philippines, a country with a decades-long legacy of embracing the form’s core ethos of defiance and connection to weave creative work that feels both distinctly rooted in local lived experience and universally aligned with the genre’s global spirit of pushing against restrictive norms and centering unfiltered joy. The full-length album Maldita emerges from this rich, ongoing lineage of Filipino rock and roll, a body of work that carries forward the genre’s tradition of challenging expectations while leaning into the cultural context that has made rock and roll such an enduring staple of creative life across the archipelago.
