The Village Idiots is a band that evolved from Banda RR, a collaborative project among NGO workers/musicians to write and perform songs and promote music as a tool/platform for community organizing and education. For 20 years, and through different lineup changes, the band has continued to write and perform songs rooted in both personal and political struggles and aspirations. The Village Idiots has contributed songs and been involved in a number of collaborative projects including the compilation albums Rock against the Round (2005), Stand Up against Poverty (2006), and Huling Balita (Songs for the Disappeared, 2008). They are members of the Asian Movement for People’s Music (AMP3) Collective.
