ASK any foreign national what distinguishes Filipinos from other people, and chances are he/she will say it’s our penchant for music. Fondness for music is our archetypal image as a people in the eyes of other nationals.
Filipino music bands, solo singers, and music instrument artists are mainstay performers in hotels, restaurants, and drinking bars in Asian countries, the Middle East, and even Europe. Filipino singing talents are employed in musical plays abroad. Cruise liners all over the world prefer our musicians.
