    Fun Fact: Latinos & Filipinos shared the same Cultural Heritage. Rondalla was introduced by Spain to the Philippines in the 15th Century. Since then, Aside from studying Spanish, We had Operetta and Drums & Bugle Corps in our Schools. Our folks used to dance the Samba, Rumba, Cha Cha and Tango during Fiestas and family gatherings and Men, belting the song "Granada". During house party, together with classmates and friends, We loved to dance to the tune of Oye Como Va and Black Magic Woman by Santanna. I learned to play the guitar in school and my sister played the banduria...Just reminiscing the good old days!😍

    Latin music / dance influence in the Philippines is VERY STRONG. We grew up watching our mom, dad, abuela and abuelo dance to cha cha and tango on street dance parties during fiestas. For an iconic Filipino jazz musician I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOBBY ENRIQUEZ, a respected piano virtuoso in the jazz community in America, dubbed as THE WILDMAN. If you WANT timbales and congas better watch Bobby Enriquez's band.

    There’s a dialect in the Philippines called Chavacano where more than half of the vocabulary is Spanish!
    You must remember that the country was conquered by Spain 500 years ago. It was named after King Philip of Spain. So Spanish very much runs thru our blood. Hence many of our surnames are Spanish. We are the only ‘unofficial’ Latinos in Asia.

    Music is very much part of my area here in the philippines, it is sort of normal to hear videoke or ur neighbors singing during the weekdays & mor so during the weekends. We also have a thriving guitar or ukelele making here.
    Jamming sessions tend to help people an instrument in which guitar & beatbox & shakers r easily become part of basics. I can remember back n skol we use our school table as sort of congo drums. Thats how i learned it & even using my ballpens as drum sticks.
    There are also music schools that tie up with schools to teach music & create school bands. There are schools that have their own glee clubs, bandurias, etc.
    There are quite a few music schools here in my city that have recitals n big malls n sort of a concert.

    Music in the Philippines has been uniquely shaped (for better or for worse) by all the cultures that not only surround it but also by those who have occupied it. Our food, language, music, dances, traditional clothing, musical instrumentation (eg. the prevalence of the guitar), and our musical tastes have been influenced by Asia, Indomalayan, Pacific Islands, American/Western (from WW2 occupation), and, most relevant to this video, Spain (from the 333-year colonization).
    And that’s what makes Filipinos uniquely Filipino. ❤

    We have part of the Philippines called Zamboanga speak spanish, they speak Chabacano, chabacano is latin one of hundreds languages in the Philippines. Remember Spain take over our country for 5 hundred years, that is why most of our last name is spanish or latin.

    I'm a huge fan of Latin music as well as R&B. I'm a huge fan of "Hurricane Katrina!" Her husband, Mike Shapiro is the drummer/producer. Together they collaborated and created this video. I believe they tied the know about 8 months ago.

    Thanks for this. It’s very entertaining. I love this! Kat and the rest of the musicians are incredible. Mike Shapiro is referred to have “worked with the likes of Sergio Mendes & other great Brazilian musicians like Dori Caymmi, Ivan Lins, Toninho Horta & Caetano Veloso. He also performed with the legendary trumpeter, Herb Alpert.” It’s absolutely fascinating. Thanks again. ciao! 👍🏻🤗🎶

    Filipinos have their own original songs, but our 'harana and kundiman" songs were inspired by the spanish songs, thats why filipinos are very familiar with latin songs and instruments. Our lolos and lolas sing LATIN songs in the PABASA, a filipino tradition during holy week. And when karaoke was not yet invented, our titos and titas sing latin songs during celebrations or gatherings using guitar, marakas and any available latin instrument there is. They used to sing the songs of "Trio Los Panchos". The most popular Latino Singer here in the Philippines at that time. They also composed a song "FILIPINAS" which they played during their concert here in the Philippines

    Her name is in Spanish. Us Filipinos can speak some Spanish, we borrowed some Spanish words to the Filipino language. We were colonized by Spain for 333 years. Majority of the Filipinos is Christian, mostly Roman Catholic.

    Here in the Philippines playing musical instrument is not really pushed that hard but this is being taught from primary schools up to secondary & in the university, many offer degree in music. I also believe many Filipino musicians learned music thru self study esp if they are so much into it. !
