From Wikipedia
Pinoy jazz refers to the blend of traditional American jazz with strong Filipino musical style. Starting in the early 20th century with the US colonial rule, Filipinos were introduced to American jazz as a form of "imperial labor", by US forces. While often viewed as a musical genre, Pinoy Jazz has been described as "imperial labor" by Theodore Gonzalves and Frederick Schenker.
