Folk music envelops a huge range of music styles.. Did you know Simon and Garfunkel were considered to be modern folk?  So Ethnic music would fall under the Heading of Folk in most cases.\nI've never heard of Pinoy.  Is this a country or a race or what?

Filipinos are still considered Asians as Phillipines is in South East Asia. If they sounds Spanish that's because they were colony of Spain. Therefore they are so much influenced by Spanish culture.

MYMP (Make Your Momma Proud) is a Filipino acoustic band comprised of Juris Fernandez (lead vocals) Chin Alcantara (guitar and vocals). They are a group of young talented individuals renowned for covering old songs and 90's hits into the acoustic style.\n\nThough mostly favored by romantics and the young crowd, some has critisized the band for greatly rehashing songs and not doing more original work. MYMP has stated in a debate show that this helps the younger generation discover some forgotten songs from the past but has promised of more songs of their own.

If what you mean by unity is that of the Philippines as an "imagined community" then i can tell you filipinos can very well identify themselves as one. As you may see filipinos have close ties and even when in other countries they form so called "Filipino Communities". But then if you speak of unity as having a particular culture that you can pinpoint, well, Filipinos are not like that. The Philippines has rich and diverse culture and history. The Philippines is is politically divided in several regions, and sometimes they tend to be regionalistic. Teodoro Agoncillo's History of the Filipino People would be a big help. (:

Different cultures have ethnic identity which specifically relates to them. Example suppose your writings, essays, interviews or film was on Mexico. You would have everything from their particular way of life, their personal ways they do things that are different from the tribes who live in the jungles of Africa. The tribes in Africa would have theirs. Perhaps they hunt lions and have writings that protray their life styles. Ethnic identity represents the culture and it's particulars which are uniquely their own.

If it's a Filipino term (Philippine language), it means one who is a member of same nationality or socio-political group.  i.e. He is my "kalahi" or a person who comes from our own ethnic group.  \n\nSame tribe; same place; same group etc

Pinoy is a term used by Filipinos for their compatriots in the Philippines and around the world. Filipinos usually refer to themselves informally as Pinoy (feminine: Pinay), which is formed by taking the last four letters of the word 'Pilipino' and adding the diminutive suffix -y. The word was coined by expatriate Filipino Americans during the 1920s and was later adopted by Filipinos in the Philippines.\n\nPinoy is a term of endearment and is rarely used in formal settings. The term is akin to that of a nickname which is used by close family members and friends so that one who uses it somehow already developed some close ties with Filipinos.\n\nThe term especially gained popular currency in the late 1970s in the Philippines when a surge in patriotism made a hit song of Filipino folksinger Heber Bartolome's "Tayo'y mga Pinoy" (We are Filipinos).

I am Cajun. The music is a testament to the spirit of the people!  Type in Zydeco and see what comes up!!! So much fun to dance to. For a taste of hispanic culture, Gypsy Kings... or Spanish Guitar (Cuba) try Otmar Liebert...magnifico! I listen to so many cultures I could go on and on.  Peter Gabriel did a compilation of the music of artists from around the world called "One World".  Here you will find the name of artists from Africa, Japan etc...Enjoy!

There are different types of hispanic dance. \nFor puerto ricans  and cubans there is the salsa and merengue. For Mexicans there is the cumbia and vueltas.\nFor the Spaniards there is the flamenco. For Mexicans from Mexico city there is the ballet folklorico, mexican hat dance, and tapatillo. \nThese are just a few of hispanic dances that I know about. I don't think they affect the world but maybe they influence other dances.

It's a form of S. Indian Music.  I looked it up and am going to listen to some now.  I think I will enjoy it, not for it's religious intent, but for the sound of it.

not just because they belong to same root but also the migration of early people to other places/countries and islands is one reason why there are similarities in sound and meaning of words.imagine here in the philippines they said the language here is malay austronesian but i noticed some tagalog word is close to greek and hebrew. like alatih-salt in greek but in tagalog it is salty (alat)mathainoh to learn but in tagalog it is matino meaning learning or right way of thinking. the hebrew word abba is ama in tagalog.etc

Most Filipinos are racially Asian with slight amounts of European and Australoid mixed in. The Asian majority is overwhemingly ethnic Malay although there is also a small Chinese minority.  There is a significant European admixture only among the Filipino overclass mostly as a result of intermarriage during the 300 year Spanish occupation.  In some of the larger islands deep in the mountains, there are small tribes of "Negrito" pygmies whose ancestors were displaced by Asian colonists (ethnic Malays to be specific) roughly a thousand years ago.  \n\nThat last probably requires some further explanation, so:\n\nNegrito was originally a Spanish term meaning "small Negro".  The term referred both to the small stature of this ethnic group and to the mistaken belief that they were the same race as Africans.  Modern DNA research has shown this to be completely mistaken.  The Negritos are now thought to be racially Australoid that is to say members of the same macro-ethnic group as the aboriginal peoples of Australia, New Guinea, and Melanesia.

I grew up in a predominantly Hispanic small town in Central Illinois and I can tell you I, along with many of my Hispanic friends, absolutely hate much of the "carnaval" music and its constant drone.  We love to listen to the Tex-Mex or American-Hispanic mix from the likes of Carlos Santana, Los Lobos, Freddy Fender and the Texas Tornadoes,  regional band Los Mocambos,  Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and really any Mariachi bands.  ( I know I'm leaving out a bunch of ohters).  It just provided different rhythms, vocals, feel, and speed that kept the music "fresh" and not mundane.  However, who am I to tell you what your preferences in music should be?
