Even before the arrival of the Spaniards, a passion for singing finally developed. Filipinos like singing when they are working, such as on the farm to get rid of their fatigue and the heat of the sun, or the ladies singing while doing their laundry in the river. Filipinos adore karaoke because singing has become popular in the country, regardless of whether you have a good voice or not, especially during celebrations for singing competitions in the cities. It already exists in our culture.
Most Filipinos are not really well-off economicaly and Karaoke is the cheapest form of entertainment. All you need to have is a bunch of friends, some foods, drinks and karaoke, and you're good to go.
Being a filipino who lived in England for 35 years I never seen a race that love singing as much as the filipinoes..and a lot of them are very talented.I think the next challenged if we really want to take it to the next stage is to be more creative and original.This is the way how western musicians made their mark in the music industry.we need to offer something different not just being very good at copying.
There is OPM, it just does not appeal to a global audience. Unlike KPOP which somehow has a global audience (but not me, I still dont get KPOP because I do not understand). Maybe the world is not yet ready. Southeast Asia as a group really, is new globally (Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). I lived in 3 of those countries and they have their own songs which sound very pop and modern but appeal only to a local audience. The Filipinos just stand out because we communicate in English and that is why the West can understand the Filipinos quickly. But culturally, Filipinos are still Southeast Asian - the same way Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, etc, are.
Try searching for original Filipino compositions, English and Filipino lyrics, they sell really well locally. A lot of Filipino composers who have had successful careers. Yeng Constantino has composed a lot of songs and released a couple of EPs that sell - songs with Filipino and English lyrics. Heard of Odette Quesada? She composed a lot of English lyric songs in the 80s/ 90s. They were hits in the Philippines in the 80s and 90s and were competing with songs of the Police, Spandau Ballet, for radio time. Southeast Asia culturally is unheard of outside of the region. But if you live there, then you will realize.
Yeah, because the youth don't bother with music instruments now. In my time, almost every teenager knows how to at least strum the guitar to accompany themselves singing. Thus, the plethora of songbooks with chords.
Anyone and anything in the west or anywhere else has nothing to do with our natural desire to sing. Fact is, long before we invented karaoke, we already have this traditional courtship manner we call "harana," where the man, using a guitar sings a love song to the lady he's courting, just outside her residence, mostly at evenings. It's been our custom, our tradition. Most of our OPMs which garnered world recognition and captures the hearts of everyone who hears it, speaks of love towards our country, our people, our family. We sing NOT because of fame or anything else. We sing because we were born with it, the great desire to sing for the Lord's glory, for our homeland, our people. As you may have noticed already, we are the only nation in the world with that innate desire and capability to do so, anytime, anywhere. Which makes me believe that we truly are the people GOD pre-destined to sing new songs for His glory upon His return 😇🤍❤️🕊️💝
@@AlexanderOsias I mean, doesn't matter the genre, country, regaae, rock or pop, it always ounds like pop as that's their voice, pop....its no bad, it's great actually but it is one dimensional
It so happen that Filipinos loves to sing, there had been singing contest during the 60's and could be the reason that made Roberto del Rosario a Filipino thought of Inventing the 1st Tribel SAS (Sing Along System) machine. Later was popularized by the Japanese as Karaoke. Roberto del Rosario was a musician and music teacher who played eight instruments. He developed an advanced sing-along-system known as OMB (one-man-band) which was the combination of a music player, voice taping mechanism, tuner and mixer. This sing-along-system (SAS) allowed his students to sing with the recorded music using a microphone and an amplified speaker. The sing-along-system was very popular in the Philippines and Japan. The Japanese coined the system "karaoke" from "kara" meaning empty and "ōkesutora" meaning orchestra.
i think Filipinos love singing is because the passion for music ,. and behind the karaoke phenomenon here is the enjoyment good singer or not we just love to have a great time!!
Singing is a way of socialization especially during family snnd office gatherings. Even if someone is out of tune, we just laugh about it. The objective is to enjoy.
Our talent for singing dates back tonprecolonial times. Hence we have a rich tradition of songs and dance in all the dialects. This is a very important part of our cultural. Ordinarily all filipinos will sing in tune. Only exceptionally will they sing out of tune.
Yeah, it's all fun and games until someone requests the song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. Then it's every man for himself. The reason people, especially boomers and those from the working class older generation who are not familiar with the music of the younger generation, fought over the microphone over this song back in the 90s was because it is the easiest male song that can be sung. The key is low enough and the lyrics simple to remember. Any guy wanting to impress the ladies in public would want to pick this one. And if someone beat you to the draw and somehow murdered the song by singing off key in his drunken state, then you have a recipe for chaos inside a packed drinking joint.
@10:54 this lady is ignorant of the main reason why parents enroll their kids for voice lessons. The main reason, first and foremost, is to build confidence in the child. The child opens up to expressing herself in public whether it be a class presentation or speaking in public. Being able to sing in front of people is an accomplishment in itself even though you are not a great singer. Parent's don't expect their kids to become great singers and make them money. That expectation is ridiculous. So I'd would not listen to that lady's mumbling about the reason parents sends their kids for voice lessons.
She's telling the truth by the way... most people here wanted their kids to learn to be a better or great singer to get out from poverty..to help their family, clan etc... and to make them proud as give them honor...of course its from genes also Filipinos love loves to sing and music lovers
Back in the day when the must have home appliances are the fridge, stereo console and TV. Now would be a karaoke machine and those large Bluetooth speakers so it can be carried and have a karaoke concert everywhere.
All Pilipino can/ love to sing, but not all are good singer...singing is our daily life routine, day will not pass w/o singing...that is Pilipino.. love your voice.❤🇵🇭❤
Snippet: You might as well give the Philippines a ***Hymn Land *** pseudonym. The Islanders just love, love to sing aloud -- a symbol of a happy heart or spirit. Enjoy strolling down memory lane. Godspeed tayo, PH. must behave. J2023.
WE, Filipinos are also talented people to begin with. (not only them haha) Singing and Love for Music has always been been a part of the Filipino Culture. Obsession? YES, but in a good way.
Your content make so much sense. It makes so many audience and supporters especially Filipino people are happy together with singing started in a Karaoke machine😘😍🤩🥰😎
Perhaps this will give you a brief historical insight on the Pinoy's flair for music. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f5zpjqaYfGc.html PS.. there are now over a hundred dialects/languages spread throughout the islands!!
May I add w your indulgence: Even before the advent of the Spaniards and other western influences, the Filipinos already were singing, dancing with their native instruments. This is evident in the hinterlands, mountains with practices, rituals by the indigenous peoples or tribes. To this present day, we still find them doing this... Preserving their culture, traditions and crafts being passed down to later generations with their amazing musical instruments!! To say that Filipinos are only good w karaokes is a mistaken perception. (Notwithstanding a Pinoy, Bert del Rosario, who pioneered it as the sing-along in 1975 I think.) Fiesta celebrations eventually evidenced this inherent culture of music, dance and prayer!!
We dont need toxic environment being unhappy is a bad idea lead you to loneliness force you to hardlife, honesty and being happy will makes your life easy, isolation or extrovert are sometimes goes to wrong decision make life even harder, because love and happiness is free, you cant buy in the Market or store, Mall, online its in your hearts
This video is awesome for me!😊 Our country's culture has many to offer to share in the world. Vloggers like you have to just dig deeper to find all of them. More powers to you bro! 😊
yeah i start watching south korean obsession with plastic surgery and the. indias obsession with fair skin, i was thinking about phils and this pop up 😁
That is correct. In the Philippines, more people sing well per capita than in any other country in the world, due to the Karaoke Culture where people start singing at very young age
having too many singers and karaokes in this countries sometimes is annoying even its past 12 am to 6 in the morning you can hear somebody is still screaming in the mic.
I think almost every filipino have a "go to song" for karaoke everytime, everywhere. 🤣 Filipinos love to sing maybe as a way of unwinding and releasing stress.
Karaoke is a JAPANESE INVENTION! The first machine was developed by Daisuke Inoue but was patented by Roberto del Rosario. And while many Filipinos can sing well, they usually sing the same stuff and never evolve.
The guy on the bus explaining karaoke in the Philippines, sounds like he has an Hispanic accent, yet he talks like he was born and raised in the Philippines. haha
Singeng is look like sports in our country Iremember when aim young when have a subject in our class music and we fall in the line and every one sing so you can hear the one who is the best
Yung jeepney, yan ang dapat na SIZE for mass transit. Hindi dapat tangggalin sa kalye ang jerpney. Dagdagan lang ang kapasidad. Philippine ICON na yan. Yung mga driver na gustong magmay-ari, bigyan sila ng hulugan na pagbabayad. Dito sa Canada pag bumili ka ng sasakyang hulugan, payable in 5 years.
I did a nursing clinical in the Philippines and I think we spent more time singing karaoke then any other activity. It was whipped out at literally EVERY gathering we went to. Karaoke, being fed and friendliness are things I will always associate with the Philippines now.
..the Tagalog song, banjo queen aka standby by me is one of the best n filipino has rappers, everyday pop stars, I go videos often n hang out, its fun n diverse, they love 'always remember us this way by gave n 'unwell' by matchbox twenty n much more, their Tagalog pop is dreamy, all about dreams, love dreams, cool people...N my fave song is kaleidoscope world, that's the best song ever to come out of the philippines
Regine Velasquez training from his dad on a River. Anyway Year 2019 Marcelito Pomoy become Viral on AGT. But this year 2023 Roland Abante is now Viral on AGT. Let's Support Filipino Talents.🤩🇵🇭🎤
Indians are definitely good at singing but in Bollywood movies the actors and actresses are not actually singing. They hire professionals singers for the voice overs usually.
Filipinos love the 4 B's. 1.) Boxing, 2.) Basketball 3.) Beauty pageants and 4.) Bidyuoke/Biritan (Karaoke). All of this encompasses Philippines culture of barrio fiesta. In all of these, Filipinos are religious and love God. If you read Isaiah 42:10 it almost speaks of the Philippines to be honest.
