What is "humanfolk"

HUMANFOLK is the musical collaboration and concept band of guitarist-composer Johnny Alegre with the New York based Fil-Am percussionist Susie Ibarra and her husband, drummer Roberto Juan Rodriguez, together with the multi-instrumentalist Cynthia Alexander and the electronica exponent Malek Lopez. This collective is a pioneering effort marking the convergence in a contemporary Philippine setting of multiple musical idioms ( jazz, rock, electronic music, kulintang, agung and indigenous percussion, with Iberian and folk music influences). The group's name is a deliberate conjoining of the words "''human" ''and "folk", akin to "menfolk" and " womenfolk", without prejudice to gender and frequently set in all caps to distinguish it from a dictionary term.
