" Louie Sanchez is the new solo project of Eirene Cloma, a Toronto musician who is best known for being a member of the Polaris Music Prize-shortlisted Kulintang ensemble Pantayo. Cloma's own music is inspired by another Filipino genre, harana, which according to a press release, is a "courtship practice in which a man serenades his beloved from outside her window, hoping to gain her attention." Their first single, "One Thing I Can Afford," is a warm and inviting folk song, coloured by a sense of romance that's driven by consent and communication. "

" Rosie Long Decter’s feature on Louie Sanchez originally appeared in The Grind, but felt too perfect for us to not include here. Louie Sanchez is the solo project of Eirene Cloma, 1/5th of Toronto-based “queer Filipinx kulintang gong punks,” Pantayo. Rosie connected with Eirene at a moment that feels like it’s still a formative period for the artist, in the midst of still cultivating this new persona, while they explore what it means to queer the traditional Filipinx song form of harana— a kind of love song or serenade.
