Tampipi is a receptacle of things Filipino. It symbolizes all that we hold dear. It speaks of travel, of adventure, of learning and of growth. Tampipi is about give and take, learning and teaching, observing and incorporating things we deem precious and important into our daily lives.

 The music of Tampipi finds its inspiration in simple snippets of the life of a Filipino away from the Philippines. Through their songs, Tampipi tries to communicate how living and working abroad changes and shapes our lives and how we deal with these transformations. The songs of Tampipi are a collection of life abroad: a mother crooning a lullaby to her baby back home, songs that send words of love across the seas, songs about funny and irritating encounters with immigration officers, songs about the enduring Filipino spirit, and songs about being proud to be Filipino.

 Today, Tampipi continues to expand by incorporating new members into the group. The new singers and musicians in turn also leave their mark upon the musical style of the group. But that is exactly what Tampipi is all about, accepting that things always change and striving to adapt to those changes in our own ways.
