The Philippine music scene is teeming with lots of artists. Musical expression has been part of our history even before the Spaniards came. From the usage of the kulintang in the south, to the practice of the romantic harana of the rest of the islands, Filipinos’ love of music built the bond that linked old generations with the new. Filipino music continues to evolve to this day. Genres add up and influences keep on coming. Regardless of the hype, Filipinos manage to express themselves in ways that reflect their resilience in human history.
Enter the music of today’s future. Enter Mistula.
Mistula is a virtual band that I came across in one of my research for alternative Filipino music. Whatever its brainchild intends to propagate with the venture, I considered it worth exploring because it represents what the future generation of Filipino music aficionados are going to look back on.
You won’t see mistula anytime on clubs or stadiums performing for teenagers. You won’t see them on MTV or guesting on noon time shows. Mistula is online and in the Filipino consciousness. It is where our music is evolving. It is where they are.
