Abstract/Summary

The researcher of this thesis project gathered a modest volume of nonfiction narratives or what we would call "kwentong buhay” (life stories) of five (5) “viajeros”: three male instrumentalists who performed on cruise ships; as well as two female vocalists who have performed in land-based destinations of live entertainment, including restaurants, clubs, bars, hotels, and resorts.

The narratives in the collection or anthology were written like typical feature articles in a newspaper or magazine, focused on one person per essay. They are meant to fill gaps or address the dearth on narratives about travelling or migrant Filipino musicians.
