Today's #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday is 「Shout For Joy」 by Gary Valenciano. A fitting song after Passover, Resurrection Day, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
It's Feb 28th, and if you're suspecting they no longer love you, maybe this #OPMwednesday recommendation will help: “If the Feeling Is Gone” by #EllaMaySaison
Our #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday today is a lively song, 「Atin Ang Mundo」 (The World is Ours) from the Filipino boy band #TheJuans, that will surely make you dance.
「Christmas In Our Hearts」 was released on 1990-11-17 as the titular song of Jose Mari Chan's 7th studio album. Through this album, Jose Mari Chan was nicknamed “The Father of Philippine Christmas Music” and Filipinos start to play the songs from this album a week before September (“-ber months”) begins, the traditional start of #Christmas in the Philippines.
If you want to listen to the entire album, here are the links:
For more than ten years now, the label P-pop has become a terminology used to refer to a new genre of music. Often than not, it is used to mean the rising Philippine idol groups and also compared to OPM or Original Pilipino Music.
But what is it exactly? Is not P-pop Pilipino popular music by definition?
An Internet search for P-pop will give different definitions of it, what it covers, and what it represents. There are those who use it to mean the idol groups. There are articles written wherein it was used interchangeably with OPM. While there are also those who use it as an umbrella terminology for everything Filipino made. It can not all be correct, right?
Simple answer?
P-pop, or Pinoy Popular music, is all music composed or performed by a Filipino.
OPM, or Original Pilipino Music, is every original music composed by a Filipino.
Now that we're on hol.ogra.ph, it's time for a new intro :blob_sip:
My name's Gil & I'm a queer Filipino dude from the united states. I mostly post in english but I speak Bisaya, German, and some Tagalog
Originally I went to school to get a BS in Electrical Engineering, but I dropped out for financial reasons. I'm not sure of when I'll go back to finish my degree, but for now I live as a writer, programmer, game dev, and community organizer (sans any fancy job title)
Much of my writing consists of cultural critique essays, commentary about activism & leadership, poetry, and sci-fi/fantasy stories. I may also have a little leftist rant from time to time, as a treat
Rust is my programming language of choice, but I've been known to play around with C/C++/C# and TS. I also did a lot with Python, MATLAB, and Assembly in school
I love gaming, #opm and disco music, journaling, fountain pens, reading all kinds of books, and experimenting in the kitchen
“SB19 song triggers discsussion on music royalties: ‘Respect local artists’”
While the pair waited for the music to play, the contestant and the host were told—presumably by a staff member—that they could not play the song. Vice Ganda commented in a rather jocular manner, “Naningil na sila, naningil na.” (They’re now asking for a fee.)
Curtis, who seemed surprised by the staff’s instruction, asked, “Talaga? Hindi ba good promo ‘yun [playing the song on the show] for the music industry?” (Really? Isn’t playing the song on the show a good promo for the music industry?)
The actress continued, “May gano’n [fee for playing a song on the show] na pala? Sayang.” (So there’s such a thing already? It’s a pity.)
