Be Here For A While feat. Vernardo

Harmonic Resurgence is a transformative mixtape project inspired by the Godino twins, conjoined Filipino musicians from the 1920s. Drawing from critical fabulation methodologies and Hip Hop storytelling techniques, it challenges conventional narratives in music history. Through speculative narratives and innovative sampling, the mixtape delves into the emotional and experiential realms of the twins' lives, creating a sonically immersive landscape that invites listeners on a profound journey.

Rooted in Blues Epistemology, Harmonic Resurgence explores the intersections between Filipino and African-American musical cultures, advocating for conscientious engagement with Black musical history. Beyond its musical dimensions, the project serves as a poignant exploration of Filipino American identity, embracing principles of decolonization and cultural exchange.

Crafting Harmonic Resurgence has been a profound journey of self-discovery and cultural reclamation for Melvin Earl, resonating deeply with his own identity negotiations and cultural heritage. More than just music, it is a testament to the power of storytelling and a celebration of forgotten legacies within American music history.
