AAPI Heritage Month: Aleksa Manila
The dynamic music duo, Sendai ERA, collaborated with ALEKSA MANILA on this short video depicting immigrant roots and national pride from a FilipinX perspective. The music is inspired by the song, “Bayan Ko” (My Country), one of the most recognizable patriotic songs in the Philippines that, because of its popularity, is sometimes assumed to be a folk song and the country’s unofficial national anthem. Originally titled Nuestra Patria in Spanish by the revolutionary general José Alejandrino; translated in Tagalog as a poem by Jose Corazon de Jesus in 1929, and set to music by Constancio de Guzman. Written as a protest song, it is often sung in protest rallies and demonstrations throughout Philippine history.
“My journey to Seattle started in July 1995, just days after 4th of July celebrations.
