Here's a very familiar song for a very unusual guest. The Bahay Kubo song, in this video, is being sung by a foreign-born Filipino kid named Luke. Just spotted this on youtube, and his way of singing Bahay Kubo is stunning. This video serves as a challenge to all Filipino parents and soon-to-be parents to look back to where they've come from, and engage their children in the culture that really defines a true Filipino.
The youtube user behind this viral video answered some of the questions:
1. Does Luke have a filipino parent?
Yes. Luke has 2 dads... one of his Dad, Wil is Filipino.
2. How did Luke learn the song?
Everytime Daddy Wil would change Luke's diaper when he was a baby... he would sing bahay kubo and
Luke would stop from moving around..making diaper changing easier for Daddy Wil. I guess he learned it from hearing it on a daily basis...
3. Where is Luke from?
Luke and his Dads- Wil and Clark live in the San Francisco, California area.
4. How old was Luke when the video was taken?
Luke was about 2 years and 3 months when that video was taken.
5. When will Luke have other videos?
We are working on another song... the life of a 3 year old toddler is busy... we will get one out soon.
