Welcome to Streetprint Manila

Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.

What's Original about Pinoy Music?


Magic's "Rude" is one of the current chart-toppers in the Philippines

The contemporary music scene in the Philippines is heavily influenced by Western music, as seen in the dominant presence of American and British artists in many local radio charts. Musical trends in the Philippines especially follow the American charts, with many of the popular songs in the US being released simultaneously and gaining popularity in the Philippines. The most successful genres are pop, rock, hiphop or rap, and EDM (electronic dance music). Japanese and Korean pop also have sizeable fan bases in the local scene.
