What's Original about Pinoy Music?
When asked about what an “elevated” Filipino music scene would look like and whether it is possible to achieve this, Rez remains positive that it can be done. However, he is wary about “where the allowance of this ‘neo-culture’ or joint understanding will spring from nowadays”. Rez says, “if [we] want a more concrete solution, one thing I had in mind is to… consciously create a ‘genre’ that will be globally known as originating from the Philippines… like how samba is from Brazil, reggae from Jamaica, or J-pop [from] Japan”.
