RAQ FILIPINA

Raq Filipina's music is described as a unique mix of traditional Filipino music, world music and electronica.  This was the first time I had heard her music and seen her perform.  I was very impressed with this moving, unique style of music and Raq Filipina's beautiful voice and dancing.
