(っ◔◡◔)っ ✿.｡.:* ☆:**:. ♥ Alyana Cabral

Multidisciplinary artist Aly Cabral (@_t33g33 ) has lived many lives in music. She is known under her DJ moniker t33g33, and the sound engineer of Elephant Sound System, a rental service run by the queer collective ELEPHANT. Many first encountered Cabral as the lead vocalist of indie rock band Ourselves the Elves. Her other music projects have included the heart-wrenching rhythms of Angel Olsen, or the lo-fi intimacy of Frankie Cosmos. Cabral is one of the rare figures in the Philippine independent music scene who treats art not as a career path, but as a survival strategy, often working side-by-side with mass organizations, advocating for reforms on agrarian land, an end to red-tagging by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, and an increase of the daily minimum wage. The proceeds from her latest album, “e v o l ¡ r e v o l ! mantras for love and liberation,” for instance, go toward communities affected by recent typhoons. As such, Cabral doesn’t see herself as only a musician, but as a “cultural worker” — someone who also organizes, facilitates, and sustains spaces where culture thrives, especially for society’s most vulnerable. These roles are not separate hustles but extensions of one another, keeping her tethered to the political realities of her time. “It’s not always a rewarding experience. There really are times when you feel like you’re being exploited or extracted,” she says. “But that’s why I chose to operate in the underground because it doesn’t feel like I’m less complicit in anything that harms the culture. I have freedom to do what I want for myself and for the communities [I’m a part of].” Read the full feature by @1116to1771 at the link in bio Photographs by @jljavier #RSPH #RollingStonePH

Just wanted to share some recent online radio work that launched this month . . . 📻 The latest is with @unlearningspace radio where I contributed my dj mix gathering tracks from mutual aid compilations for Palestine, which initially premiered with @obskurmusic last April 2024. “Unlearning Space Radio - Sonic Letters: island to island is a sound project developed in response to the current political climate, as part of Yo-E Ryou’s participation in the Biennale Arte di Venezia 2026. Conceived as a transmission from those connected through Jeju Island, Korea, it sends gestures of solidarity from island to island across water, borders, and distance. Operating as a continuously streaming online radio for the seven-month duration of the exhibition, it gathers sounds of water, care, resistance, and endurance.” Thank you @whyryou for inviting me and for curating such a thoughtful soundstream of care 💧 Listen to all the works on 🔗 radio.unlearningspace.com ~*~*~*~ And last May 1, the 59th Carnegie International has officially launched where our collective @dangadang.radio has been commissioned to produce a series of radio episodes. The first of these is now up on the Carnegie website, it’s a live recording of our performance for the event “Offerings for a Free Palestine” which happened in November last year.

t33g33 a.k.a. Alyana Cabral (she/they) is a sound artist, DJ, producer, and film score composer from the Philippines. Rooted in Manila’s underground culture, she contributes to the aural sensibilities and cultural attitudes of local nightlife, through performing and organizing with her queer collective, Elephant [@thatelephantparty ]. She is also part of Dang A Dang Radio, an online radio archiving Philippine protest music. For this mix, t33g33 zeroes in on her favorite moody house selections from her crate. Entitled, “To Those Who Have Passed, I Miss You,” the mix expresses the emotional rollercoaster of finding hope within grief. “There is much death in the world at the moment. Music can only do so much, but to offer a sliver of hope. Joy is temporary; Movement is forever. I offer this to those who have passed. I miss you, though I haven’t met you yet.” Tune in @worldwide.fm this Wednesday 7PM PH time 💗 /episode/sounds-nais-t33g33-06-05-2026

Protect forgotten queer cultures! Protection is not a memorial to a past way of life. It’s a fight for a way of LIVING that matters more than ever right now. This fight was the core of our Queer Power: Rise of the Bantuwing RAVE, and the magical ritual at its heart, led by Datu Arayan — a non-conforming, gender-radical Shaman of the Talaandig-Manobo people. The Talaandig-Manobo are one of many Indigenous Philippine cultures that centered queer identities for thousands of years before Spanish conquistadors set out to annihilate them. One generous queer philanthropist made the rave absolutely FREE — so attendees could donate the usual cost of a ticket to the deeper purpose of this experience: to protect the 25th Yogyakarta Principle, the right of all queer people to fully participate in public life. Every peso went directly to THE SCHOOL OF LIVING TRADITION — an urgent project led by Datu Arayan to protect the spiritual and political power of the endangered Talaandig-Manobo and their diverse pre-colonial identities. Together our attendees raised over 86,870 pesos, fully funding the construction of the first classroom and prayer house of The School of Living Tradition. If you’d like to help protect The School of Living Tradition and everything its ancient Queer Power stands for, slide up in our DMs and ask how. We’ll get you in touch with Datu Arayan right away.

Sama-samang sinariwa ng pamilya at mga kaibigan ni Kal "Ka Rekka" Peralta ang ikalawang anibersaryo ng kaniyang pagkamartir noong Abril 12. Bilang alay na kanta kay Kal, inawit ni Alyana Cabral ang "Isang Minutong Katahimikan," isang awit na sinulat nina Ericson Acosta at Nato Reyes. Batid ng mga mahal sa buhay ni Kal na magpapatuloy ang rebolusyonaryong diwa na kaniyang naitanim sa mga kasama at sa masang kaniyang pinaglingkuran.

They have tried to erase us before. Five hundred years ago in the Philippines. Just this week in India. But we cannot be erased. Babaylan. Katalonan. Asog. Bayoguin. Bantuwing. These queer gender identities are both pre-colonial and contemporary, both ancient and evolving. Very much alive. In India, like the Philippines, this truth has always existed. From the dawn of time, gender has never been singular. Our gender identities and expressions have always been multiple, generative, sacred — beyond the binaries imposed by religion and law. And they cannot be forced into boxes that claim to know our cultures more than we do, that limit and rewrite our histories without our voice. This week, India shut its eyes to the fluidity and diversity that have always been so inherent to our culture. The Transgender Persons Amendment Bill was shuttled through the Lok Sabha in record time. It’s a strong signal that we are returning to the archaic logic of the British colonial penal codes — not only criminalizing non-conforming and trans lives, but seeking to erase them. Five hundred years ago in the Philippines, Spanish conquistadors followed this exact same playbook — mixing cruel imported laws with deep religious misunderstanding to create a violent system of erasure, a toxic machine designed to wipe out Indigenous queer cultures across the archipelago. They failed. The queer shamans of the Philippines — the Bantuwing of the Talaandig-Manobo people — stand with the queer and trans communities of India now. We are with you. We are you. We will not be erased. [trans rights, queer history, gender identity, LGBTQ India, queer Philippines, trans amendment bill 2026]
