About Project

“Folk Songs and Lullabies: A Cultural Exchange between the Philippines and South Korea” is a vibrant cross-cultural initiative that brings together the heart of two nations through the universal language of music. This project offers a rare and enriching opportunity to explore shared human experiences through folk songs, lullabies, storytelling, and visual arts from both cultures.

Anchored on the Himig Himbing initiative of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, this project aims to reimagine Filipino and Korean lullabies and folk songs by creating contemporary music interpretations with music videos.

Fostering cross-cultural exchanges between the Philippines and South Korea, this initiative aims to nurture mutual appreciation and dialogue between the two countries through shared musical heritage and artistic collaboration.

This project also includes live performances of the folk songs and lullabies in various

venues in South Korea and the Philippines, as well as visual and interactive exhibit showcasing traditional musical instruments and visual narratives of both countries.

Supported by the esteemed networks of FACP and AAPPAC partner institutions, the initiative ensures artistic excellence and thoughtful curation. It features dynamic performances, immersive workshops, collaborative research, and evocative exhibits that bridge past and present. More than a preservation effort, this exchange fosters dialogue between generations and nations, empowering young artists and audiences to rediscover, reinterpret, and celebrate their musical heritage on a global stage.
