Gone are the times when singers like Joel Tingbawen who passed away at 73 and welcome to the legendary golden voice female country singer and beautiful Aquila Packing

The dynamic nature of the igorot country music genre, which continually evolves in response to our very own ethnic shifts and balances, technological advancements, and changes in our Igorot public listener preferences.

Several factors contribute to this evolution from tape recorder to disc, karaoke and now the internet AI's.

  1. Fusion with Other Genres: Country music often blends with pop, rock, hip-hop, and R&B, leading to the emergence of sub-genres like country pop and country rap.

Artists such as our proud Miss Ingrid Payaket and Mr. Roque Belino, and Mr. and Mrs Bateg,etc..

We, as Igorots should be exploring these collaborations

  1. Diverse Voices: Our genre has become more inclusive, showcasing a wider range of artists, including new singers in the cordillera apeople , maybe even considering the LGBTQ+ musicians community.

This diversification brings fresh perspectives and stories to the music.

  1. Changes in Themes: Modern country music often addresses contemporary issues, such as mental health, social justice, and personal identity, reflecting the concerns of today's society.

  2. Digital Platforms: The rise of streaming services and social media has transformed how country music is produced, marketed, and consumed.

This enables independent artists to reach broader audiences and creates new avenues for music discovery.

  1. Production Techniques: Innovations in music production have led to a more polished and varied sound, incorporating electronic elements and advanced recording technology that appeal to younger listeners. 6. Lyric Evolution: Lyricism in country music has shifted from traditional storytelling to more introspective and relatable themes, often resonating deeply with Igorot listeners' personal experiences.

Overall, the continued transformation in Igorot country music ensures that it remains relevant and reflects the changing tastes of our audience while honoring our rich culture and traditions.
