Ruby Ibarra’s 1st single release from her highly anticipated forthcoming sophomore album finds her teaming up with Ouida, Han Han, and June Millington.
Produced by LASI of Bolo Music Group, 'Bakunawa' is a powerful intergenerational collaboration between 4 talented Filipina artists living in Canada and the United States.
Spanning different Filipino languages and genres, while also fusing elements of hip-hop with folk and indie rock, this track speaks to themes such as personal reflection, growth, and realizing one’s power.
The title references a Filipino folklore about a dragon who swallowed the moon, and similarly, "this song is uncompromising and unwavering in its cultural identity and power within one’s self."
'Bakunawa' also comes with a dynamic music video that's directed by Ruby Ibarra herself.
