• Music
• In late 2003, Gutierrez released, after two years in the making, an album of her versions of
lullabies from around the Philippine archipelago, in around half a dozen languages and dialects,
including Hiligaynon, Waray, Cebuano, Bicol, Tagalog and others. The album, UYAYI: A Collection
of Philippine Lullabies, was the result of field research capturing sound recordings of elders
around the country singing their traditional songs for the youth, then a process of laborious re-
recording of the songs, accompanied by Pinoy musicians such as Bo Razon, Joey Ayala, Tots
Tolentino, Malou Matute and Rachel Conanan.[1] The double CD includes one CD of her music,
and one of the field recordings, plus a short video of the making. It has won several awards,
received a National Commission for Culture and the Arts grant, and was the focus of a few music
showcases.
