[alamat-handa-rap]

I'm going to start doing Alamat streaming parties on Stationhead bc the site is fun 🫶🏼 I may do this occasionally but a bit often in this first week of IsaPuso.

I've created only one playlist so far for the streaming and it's 9 hours and 40 mins long but I think the site didn't add all of the songs there. The playlist is focused on the album especially on Dagundong.

The playlist consists of only ppop songs! So if you want to stream Dagundong/IsaPuso and other ppop songs, feel free to join 🤎

"When Alamat officially debuted in February 2021, the group also released its self-written debut anthem kbye, which left many people flabbergasted.  The new track is in a mix of seven local languages—Tagalog, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Bicolano, Waray-Waray, Hiligaynon, and Bisaya. According to Ninuno Media, Alamat’s official music label, the incorporation of different languages into the song is a reflection of the group’s commitment to multilingualism. Moreover, the seven local languages reflect the member’s native language and ethnicity. 

"For instance, Taneo is from Kalinga, where Ilocano is mostly spoken. Mo, despite having Black-American blood, hails from Zambales where Tagalog and Ilocano are among the dominant languages people use. Jao can speak Kapampangan as a native resident of Pampanga; Tomas represents the Bicolano; Alas is a Bisaya from Mindanao; and R-ji embodies a Waray person of Eastern Samar. 

"The song captures the universality of heartbreak and of being ghosted while fusing traditional music with a hip-hop sound. True to its mission of championing the local culture, Alamat also incorporates the traditional sound of kulintang and the rhythm pattern of tinikling, a prominent folk dance in the country. The official music video of the song also showcases some of the defining features of Filipino culture: native prints in their streetwear, the appearance of baybayin, and a traditional jeepney.  

"Three months after the release of ‘kbye,’ the single already reached 1M plays, enough for the group to secure a spot in the growing P-pop industry."

"In July 2021, the group officially made their first comeback with their second track kasmala. The title is an anagram of the word malakas, which means ‘strong.’  Like ‘kbye’, the second single also features different local languages. 

"When the music video was released on YouTube, many people were quick to commend the group’s bravery in critiquing modern-day racism as the song tackles the harmful consequences of colonialism and bigotry in society. The video references the event that happened at the 1904 St. Louis World Fair, where Filipinos were treated as animals by the West. 

"Within a year since their official debut, Alamat has already secured the distinction of being the second P-pop group to land on the Billboard Chart and the fastest-rising act to score a Billboard milestone."
