Filipino artists (both local and diaspora) that I found on Bandcamp.
It's fun to poke around in there to see what you can discover.
Haley Heynderickx - introspective, hypnotic, playful folk music. Incredibly empathetic and charming. Fave: Drinking Song from I Need to Start a Garden
Han Han - fiery and feminine hip hop with some songs in Tagalog, some in Cebuano, occasionally mixed with English. Catchy as hell. Fave: Kuyaw from URDUJA
Munimuni - soothing, dreamy Tagalog songs that will have you gazing out the window and yearning for love as soft as the sunrise. Fave: Marilag from Simula EP
Pantayo - Three words: contemporary kulintang music. It's extraordinary. They've mixed the unique sound of traditional percussion instruments with elements of electronic, synth-pop, punk, and R&B music and created something truly wonderful. Fave: Eclipse from Pantayo LP
Orange & Lemons - They used to be pretty big on the OPM scene, then they disbanded and went quiet for fourteen years. I wasn't much of a fan back then, but now they're back with an all-Filipino album of unabashedly romantic modern kundimans and I'm into this sound. Poetic as fuck. Fave: Pag-ibig sa Tabing-dagat from La Bulaqueña
from the album La Bulaqueña
