I searched for "Pinoy reggae" and found a bunch of compilations and reggae covers, so I chose something by the Farmer Band. I knew that reggae is found all over the world from teaching this course, so I decided to find an example that I had not yet researched! Focusing on the snare within the drum-set in the back, it has a middle register pitch and slightly longer duration than that of a Western Classical orchestral snare. The snare's dynamic is a bit loud, though not as loud as the keyboard in the opening section. The bulbous timbre is what makes the drum stand out.

Pinoy reggae is similar to Jamaican reggae in that it has the typical syncopated hits in the guitar and keyboard. It is different from Jamaican reggae in that it is sung in Tagalog, and the timbre of the drums sound slightly shallower generally speaking. Otherwise it sounds very similar! I had previously associated music of the Philippines with traditional Kulintang (very similar to gamelan that we studied within the music of Indonesia), and this is my first encounter with a genre of more popular influence! It is interesting to hear how similar this music is to Jamaican reggae as well as see how the Philippines are influenced by other musics of the world!
