HUMANFOLK began as a concept album of guitarist-composer Johnny Alegre with the multi-instrumentalist Cynthia Alexander and the electronica exponent Malek Lopez, along with visiting New York City–based participating artists; namely drummer Roberto Juan Rodriguez and percussionist Susie Ibarra. The pioneering effort marked 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, that evolved afterwards into a concept band.
