Monday Mixtapes: All About Local

Music can never be missed once we speak of Manila culture. Just like our undying love for food, music is another thing we can all be passionate about – it’s in our busy streets, our fancy homes, our cluttered work spaces, and well then, in this digital age, our playlists.

And so in this new TeamManila Lifestyle series, we bring you music to listen, appreciate, and love. It’s something to look forward to every humdrum Monday you brag about. It’s something to share and express with. It’s TeamManila’s Monday Mixtapes and it’s made especially for the Filipino who keeps a guitar riff and a drum beat inside their heart.

To start things off, we give you 12 tracks of brilliant Filipino music from bands you might have or might have not heard of. From Filipino rock staples Sandwich to synth and drum duo Tarsius, this edition of Monday Mixtapes will make you realize how talented Filipinos are when it comes to creating and innovating music we can truly call our own. It doesn’t hurt that the videos in this playlist are visually enticing, too. Enjoy!
