A journey through Filipino music, told through piano, story, and culture.
Growing up, I felt somewhat disconnected from my Filipino heritage. As a Filipino American, I often found myself caught between two identities—never feeling fully Filipino, yet also not entirely separate from it.
In this documentary, I will explore my journey of reconnecting with my heritage through arranging a collection Filipino piano pieces, from traditional folk tunes to contemporary pop.
Explore Filipino Music Genres
As a musician, one of the most natural ways for me to explore my heritage is through music. The Philippines has a rich and diverse musical history, yet it’s not always widely known or studied, especially among those of us who grew up outside the country. This project is my way of bridging that gap—of discovering, learning, and sharing the beauty of traditional Filipino music.
