Filipino music weaves Indigenous rhythms, Spanish folk traditions, and American pop influence. During the 20th century, kundiman love songs and folk dance music shaped identity. After WWII, Manila became a pop hub, birthing Original Pilipino Music (OPM). Today, streaming and social media fuel global exposure for Filipino artists, especially in R&B and rap.
