As Filipinos migrate abroad for work, education or other reasons, they often face a sense of disconnection from their cultural roots. The preservation of traditions such as music, language, and food can become a challenge in a foreign environment. For Filipinos living abroad, listening to homegrown Filipino music can be a powerful way to reconnect with their cultural heritage. Not only does it provide a sense of belonging but it also offers a window into the rich and diverse music traditions of the Philippines.
