Damn, I don't think we give enough credit to Filipino rap and hip-hop

4 Upvotes

I just realized na possible­ng maging sobrang laki ng ambag ng rap sa pagpapamulat sa mga Pilipino. Just look at all the artists putting out their own entries for the Baha open verse. I love seeing artists use their platform to speak about what's happening around us.

And Gloc-9's upuan, sheeshables

A song about politicians and people in power that is still relevant today. Gloc-9 even shared that he's been stopped from performing it at some shows because he was told, "Bawal daw. Huwag mong kakantahin 'yun."

Imagine a song being that uncomfortable for people in power.

Salute to all the artists who choose to speak through their music. Sana mas marami pang ganitong klaseng rap ang lumabas. Hindi kailangang political lahat ng music, pero sometimes, one good song is enough to make someone stop, think, and question things.

Much respect to Filipino hip-hop. 🇵🇭

Tell me about the “Manila Sound”

1 Upvotes

I’m currently curious about the history of OPM and currently research on how filipino values of being malleable and how “Manila Sound” incorporated different genres to our very own city-pop during the 70’s. If I can have someone to talk to or interview about it, it would be a great help on my end! thank you

Anyone know the other cast members of Up Dharma Down's "Sana" music video and where are they now?

Thumbnail youtube.com
11 Upvotes

Top favorite song of mine from the band. ❤

I've seen this music video a couple of times back in MYX but upon watching it today, I apparently haven't been fairly attentive to it.

It's only earlier that I noticed that the rest of the band members were there in the video too (only Armi was recognizable to me back then): bassist Paul Yap (0:59), guitarist Carlos Tañada (1:47), and vocalist/keyboadist Armi Millare (2:46). I am not sure if Ean Mayor, the drummer, was there too or my eyes suck at spotting him.. o_o;

Anyway, I bothered asking here on the other cast since I struggle to find sources of who the cast are online and on the youtube comments (barring the "main girl" in the video) and wondering where they are and how are they.

DAYLY Entertainment - what happened to them?

1 Upvotes

Anyone familiar with this production company in the late '00s-early '10s na almost everywhere that time bringing international artists sa Manila? Sobrang dami nilang pa-concert that time.

I wonder what happened to them kasi bigla sila nawala. Nagrename ba sila ng company or nagmerge with another?

Mixing Differences in the 2008 Eraserheads Reunion Concert (Soundboard vs Release)

Correction sa Title: Several Mixing Differences

Happy 18th anniversary sa unang reunion concert ng Eraserheads!

Bagama't maganda ang pagka-mix nitong album kumpara sa soundboard, na-notice kong muted o mababa ang mix ng mic ni Buddy. May ilan ding pagbabago ginawa sa post-production (halimbawa: ibang guitar part sa huling chorus ng Fruitcake at 2:06 vs 2:16), at paumanhin kung may hindi ako nakita at na-detect.

Currently, hindi ako nakaka-post sa r/eraserheads, kaya dito ko muna ipo-post itong bidyo.

[Looking for] Producer para sa isang OPM-inspired indie folk track — babayaran

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! May ginagawa akong track at naghahanap ako ng producer na pwedeng magbigay ng OPM na warmth dito, tunay na instruments, acoustic guitar, malalim at intimate yung vocals, yung feeling na nakukuha mo sa mga indie folk artists dito. Parang yung emotional at stripped-back side ng OPM, pero may konting Mac DeMarco or Bon Iver vibes din.

May reference track na kami pati stems, ready na gamitin. Gusto namin ng creativity, kung may naririnig kang direction sa kanta na gusto mong subukan, sige lang, open kami dun. Hindi kami naghahanap ng basta copy-paste lang.

Kailangan:

  • Full instrumental production gamit yung reference track at stems
  • Mas gusto namin totoong guitar/piano o organic instrumentation kaysa sa generic VST presets
  • Clean stems + final na produced version

Budget: $30/track sa simula, may potential na maging ongoing work kung maganda yung una.

Mag-DM ka ng 2-3 examples ng gawa mo na pinakamalapit sa ganitong vibe, gusto ko marinig kung ano na ang nagawa mo na.

Celebrating the diversity of multilingual Philippines this Buwan ng Wika with ALAMAT's LuzViMinda! ☀️🇵🇭

This group not only represents Tagalog and English in their songs, but also 5 other languages: Bicolano, Bisaya, Ilocano, Kapampangan, and Waray! Their older songs incorporated Chavacano, Hiligaynon, Sambal, and Tausūg lyrics as well.

How many of our local languages are you fluent in, or at least can speak/understand a little bit? ☺️

(Oh and turn on the subtitles for English translation. At least I remembered to post this before the month ends haha)

Song is composed and produced by the members of ALAMAT.

Yung sa mga interview, either tatanungin yung banda o artist na "sino gusto nyo makacollab" or whats even worse is yung may ipipilit na artist specifically (like tatanungin si Rico Blanco kung may chance ba makapag collab kay Ely, example lang)

Sobrang gasgas na tanong. And as someone na natugtog din, di basta basta nangyayari ang collabs. Let it happen naturally
