I have followed her career since the 90’s when ethnic fusion was really new. It’s like a renaissance of traditional music in mainstream culture. All of sudden there are folk bands that came out celebrating protest music as well as the usage of indigenous instruments.

It’s a wonder that Salidumay made it to the top 40 pop radio. I began collecting her albums. She along with Joey Ayala became the face of Filipino ethnic fusion. Yes the songs are taken from the mountains and arrange with modern production techniques as well as arrangements.
