Ep. 33: Exploring Filipino Culture in Five Songs with nic feliciano
When your sense of home is divided between two countries, it can have a profound effect on how you relate to the world and everything you create. Such is the case with nic feliciano. nic is an artist-performer-writer-musician-cook who was born in the Philippines but is now based in Berkeley. Whether it’s feeding people in the streets with her food hustle, Sup Streetfood, or making plays at her beloved home theater, Bindlestiff Studios, nic’s art is always inspired and informed by her experiences in both the Filipino diaspora and the homeland. In this episode nic and Pam have a deep discussion about progressive youth culture in Manila and beyond, and the new(ish) bangers from younger-gen Filipino artists that nic is really feeling.
nic’s five selections:
1. “Sige” - Sliz
2. “Sayang You Wasted My Time” - Nouvul, Baby Freeze
3. “Neneng B” - Nik Makino
4. “Kultura” - Kanta Kanta
5. “Tiw Tiw - Budots” - DJ Love
