Junelie Otero Barrios (born on June 12, 1968, to parents of Manobo origin), [1] professionally known as Bayang Barrios, is a Filipina folk musician and singer who hails from Bunawan, Agusan del Sur. She once downplayed her ethnic origins, until she met the songwriter-performer Joey Ayala and joined his band, Ang Bagong Lumad. Many of her known songs, especially those recorded with Ayala, utilized Filipino indigenous instruments. Her nickname, Bayang, originated from her consistent leadership in singing the Philippine national anthem, Lupang Hinirang.
