#spacespiritweek 🪐 Day 04. I thought of putting yall on to a Filipino (space) disco track instead of pulling from Western sounds. In the southern islands of the 🇵🇭, Baile was a staple at fiestas & town gatherings. Back in the ‘70s, when a man invited a woman to dance, it wasn’t just for fun, it’s a sign of respect, a public show of affection, & a sincere intent toward the woman and her family. Not sure how it played out up north, but ik the rhythm travelled. Tho the courtship style may no longer be practised, but I’ve seen videos of DJs blending old disco with futuristic sounds using this song. OFC, Filipinos always ace the singing part. BUT, the real one knows this song is ALSO genetically embedded in Filipino hips!! 💃🪩🕺
