Luhang nga Kawayan (Hollow Bamboo) is inspired by the Marawi Siege. This song describes how destructive humans can be having the highest form of intelligence, can create barriers among their fellowmen.

Luhang nga Kawayan

An independent singer-songwriter, and a self-taught musician. Being a member of the Leyte Kalipayan Dance Company, I gained love for the Filipino culture through dance and music. This led me to pursue writing songs in my native tongue- Waray- because we can truly know our identity by cultivating our own roots.

My music could be about nature, human division and connection, or anything that piques my emotions.
