PRODUCERS REACT - Lola Amour Raining In Manila Reaction

[@irenevalencia448]

Wiki: Lola Amour was formed in Muntinlupa from two rival bands, "Sinigang Na Baboy" and "Decaf", comprising students at De La Salle Santiago Zobel School. While the two bands always competed against each other in the annual school battle of the bands, they were friends as members of student music clubs such as the DLSZ Symphonic Orchestra and DLSZ Jammers. The two bands decided to merge and perform at their senior-year graduation ball. When the group moved on to college, they officially adopted the name "Lola Amour", after the grandmother of vocalist Pio Dumayas. Genres : Alternative rock, funk rock, pop rock, jazz fusion

[@anishlavarez348]

You talk too much and the stories are not about the video you're reacting but all about yourselves. Kinda irritating.

[@manglyricko1469]

wow

[@Kontrabida.Kruegler]

Let's go Wikipedia... you forgot to drop the link bor

[@AnTeya15]

So my ultimate question: WHERE DID THEIR BASSIST COME FROM? HE'S JUST ❤❤❤❤

[@mishaelfernandez1]

That's awesome. DLSZ is not far from where i am. I have ridden my bicycle from my place to there many times.

[@LolaAmourMusic]

Thanks for reviewing the song and glad you liked it! Yup this is an original song, and not a cover. If you want to understand the song further, here’s a lyric breakdown which is mostly in English :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZPbe5x3oL2rgLc

[@AZBuscano]

Eyyyyyyyyy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@seed2338]

AYO LOLA AMOUR WAS HERE

[@julitapineda2046]

Why not work with KGD LABELS, they are excellent producers, just open in the Philippines, LOLA AMOUR at GKD studio, it will be awesome guys, Thanks and God bless

[@M-ir4vy]

A lot of popular opm songs are slow and sentimental. It actually says something about our culture and the filipino collective preferences. Opm songs cater to the filipino listeners. We are romantic and cheesy, and these aren't exactly the type of music a lot of western people listen to. Raining in Manila is funky, but it is a very relatable and sentimental song. Also, live music is a big thing in the Philippines. We enjoy songs that we can sing along to while the artists are performing.

[@get2riz]

Josh/Lucas -- 🎺💡 I don't live in the PH. Lola Amour's "Pwede Ba" was my gateway song into PH music. Now, I LOVE all sorts of PH music. Thanks to your reactions, I'm discovering more and more music, like P-Pop. Wishing you all the success in the PH.

[@GKDLABELS]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching!

[@markpahate7019]

Manila Sound. Popular in the 70s and 80s. Every once in a while some kids with good taste come out with their modern take on it.

[@RaftFx]

The way you said it sounds funny

[@RaftFx]

To me at least

[@markm_koko]

yeah, I remembered Mundo by IV of Spades

[@docriztigbauan7596]

Yeah I recognize this music from my childhood in the 70s and 80s

[@catestuff]

Typhoon season is here and Raining in Manila has been the National anthem every time it rains. What great timing for Lola Amour to go viral. Btw, I've watched them perform onstage several times and they do have great showmanship and interaction with the audience. I hope you get to feature them in a video. Lola Amour, Cup of Joe and Any Name's Okay are the rising darlings of the PH indie band scene and they often play together in gigs. Highly recommended to check them and their music videos out.

[@renealcid6708]

Where do they play in Manila ? Perhaps I could catch a show before I head back to San Diego.

[@jastinep.3659]

​@@renealcid6708you can visit the band's social to know when and where they will perform

[@patricialowell7429]

You Guys in Manila already ❣️❣️ nice to know enjoy staying and get ready for a rainy day season start Sept. to Christmas 😂😂 but get ready for the longest Christamas celebration here in the Philippines start September to December 🎆💥 thank you very much for your support to our talented artist you guys so AMAZING💞 enjoy while staying and please stay safe GOOD LUCK ❣️ hunting for the best artist❤

[@decodedoptics9738]

The story of this song is that his friends have left the Philippines to pursue and find better life abroad. The song isn't about just rain but about missing them. Thats the reason why he says "Its been raining in manila kahit di kana babalik" Meaning " Its been raining in manila even tho you arent coming back." There is always a story for a song, and this story was sad but the execution was perfect. We hope we get to see this International across the globe. Thank you for listening to our OPM meaning Old Philippine Songs.

[@the0sanitydokutah967]

*I'll be waiting in manila kahit Di kana babalik* Yung lyrics

[@utspantonia]

Fyi it's 'Original' not old 🤣

[@ambrosio5024]

This actually is a combination of different influences, the lead singer got the inspiration from "spark" (japanese song). This kind of genre was big in Japan in the 80s but Philippines had their own called "manila sound" in the 70s. I'm a fan of this genre and it exists even in the mid 2000s in the Philippines from the songs of Kala and Radioactive Sago.

[@evitaolog9704]

Welcome...welcome to to the Philippines 🇵🇭 💖 💕..hope you enjoy to stay here...thank you for supporting singer in the Philippines...God bless...

The band consists of Pio Dumayas on lead vocals and guitar, Martin Kim on background vocals and keyboards, Raymond King on background vocals and bass, Zoe Gonzales on lead guitar, Angelo Mesina on trumpets, Joxx Perez on saxophone, and Renzo Santos on drums. They also introduced three sessionists into the band as regular performers: Jeff Abueg on saxophone, Raffy Perez on drums, and Manu Dumayas on trumpet. Formation (2013-2016) Lola Amour was formed in Muntinlupa ( Suburb of Manila) from two rival bands, "Sinigang Na Baboy" and "Decaf", comprising students at De La Salle Santiago Zobel School. While the two bands always competed against each other in the annual school battle of the bands, they were friends as members of student music clubs such as the DLSZ Symphonic Orchestra and DLSZ Jammers. The two bands decided to merge and perform at their senior-year graduation ball. When the group moved on to college, they officially adopted the name "Lola Amour", after the grandmother of vocalist Pio Dumaya American-Filipino here on the West Coast of the USA.😊😊

[@yuminissob]

🎺💡The song is catchy and the instruments are amazing. First time I heard it.

[@GKDLABELS]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@halfrice]

Your comments regarding the current music and trend in the OPM is so spot on. It just goes to show how much you are into the Filipino music right now. I hope original songs from bands like this will eventually become international! So happy guys like you discovered and appreciated our music. I am praying for your success here!

[@moonmanipon6525]

It's raining in Manila! Literally! It's been raining hard for about 3 weeks now. Well, you are probably experiencing it now. Take it as a blessing, a welcoming shower.😊

[@renealcid6708]

A forecast of light showers in Manila is actually a storm in San Diego. It’s currently 8/15 now but started early morning of 8/14 around 3am as I was awakened by thunder and lightning. Love the accompanying light, cool breeze!

[@julitapineda2046]

It's their original songs, they always do and went viral, Good vibes. Hoping this Band will be in your studio in the future. Good luck to your journey in the Philippines, LOLA AMOR AND DILAW are rocking the World now, Thanks and God bless

[@reesep.4430]

[@iseeyou1822]

OMG you've already settled your studio?? That was soooo fast!!!! Welcome to the Philippines! And hope you enjoy the new environment and people and food of course! Keep on discovering new talents! Thank you sooo much! More power to both of you!! ❤️🇵🇭

[@christinakinoshita3055]

Wow*** your already there* Manila Philippines 🇵🇭 ♥️💙💜♥️💕💓💖🙌👍Good luck to your new journey Josh & Lucas

[@FinTechFuse]

Absolutely hooked on this band's music! Tuning in from California - Their music just hits different and never fails to uplift my spirits. 🎶😎🌴

[@jaker.3527]

Same. It's the fun vibe I get from seeing this band play their song.

[@raechellesy8065]

I hope you get the time to listen to the band Up Dharma Down. Nobody sounded like them back in the mid 2000s. I don’t really know if anybody already thought of recommending this band, but I’m just gonna out it out here for others to see and maybe get more people to request their songs.😅

[@jppychnnn]

The genre is called City Pop. Originated in Japan.

[@marsortezaofficial]

In Philippines, we call it Manila Sound

[@Esme-Bee30]

🎺💡What I love about Lucas and Josh is whenever Lucas is talking and he can't name the person/thing he is referring to/talking about, there's Josh who can back him up and name it for him. Love the genuine friendship they have. Cheers to more reaction videos and successful career here in the Philippines. ❤❤❤

[@josephcada8888]

Manila Sound!!! Through and through wow! It’s got nostalgia vibe 70’s and 80’s.

[@isabelafuentebella1494]

Very happy you guys covered Lola Amour while visiting Manila. Take it as a sign and book them! These guys ended up being my go to lullaby winding down after work. Between Lola Amour and Ben&Ben and IV of Spades breaking through the ‘birit’ and ‘hugot’ type of music so rampant here, the music scene has never sounded so good. By the way, you might want to try and check out Imago while you’re at it. Yours are the only reaction videos I watch. Thank you for the breakdown and appreciation all the time. 🌺

[@zhehanyguillergan5010]

This song is just in time for the rainy season in the Philippines 🎺💡

[@theresamoral448]

Wow Lucas is with you Josh I'm glad your here❤❤❤welcome here🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@leecee1174]

Saw them perform, and the energy they give was electrifying it was contagious.

[@nvrmndy]

dude your editing leveled uppppp, it's so good

[@JMDIY]

I'm Filipino and just listened to this song , just today, I know shame on me :-) but I was so busy with work and everything, but my 12 year old son kept humming this in the car (while I was still listening to 80s music on car radio), glad I gave this song time. And I can say this so reminiscent of 70s music, these kids are so talented.

[@Greice677]

🎺 💡, Another great performance picture today, thank you!!! GOD bless you both always 💕❤🙏

[@reanancabatbat7912]

Tuning in from Prince Edward Island, Canada 🇨🇦.. This is absolutely an OPM vibes! nakakamiss tuloy ang pinas, lalo yung ulan haha

Raining in Manila is actually their original song. Dope right?! 😍 Glad you liked it. You guys in Manila already?!? Take care always you guys and excited for what's coming next. 😊🙏

[@iskuter]

Really fun watching two legit music loving guys enjoying the process

[@M-ir4vy]

There are a lot of very popular original opm songs in the Philippines, especially from bands and singer songwriters. The most popular now are indie / alternative, indie folk, and hiphop.

[@poltes5]

So glad to see one of my new favorite songs here! I am exploring more of Lola Amour's song...so far, I also like 'Maybe Maybe' and 'Fallen' 🥰

[@fcllyvr3000]

Here is the English Translation: Raining in Manila (Lola Amour) [Intro] It's been raining in Manila, aren't you cold? It's been raining in Manila, aren't you cold? But, if it's raining in Manila, I won't hear you So, I'll be waiting in Manila even if you don't come back [Verse 1] Does it rain for you when it pours here? Sorry and I don't think so Your footsteps will follow In smiling and crying In flying and falling every day Just by closing your eyes Look in the eye In a dream that will lead astray [Pre-Chorus] How are you? Don't even answer 'Hasn't the star lost its shine? I hope you are still like that [Chorus] 'Cause, it's been raining in Manila, aren't you cold? Is it hard to shiver alone? And it's been raining in Manila, aren't you cold? 'Without the notes? Is the world dark? You might also like Raining In Manila And thanks for appreciating Filipino/Filipina artists. Have a safe, and wonderful experience while you are in the Philippines. Just go with the flow and accept all the idiosyncracies, as well as the joys, laughter, and generally the hospitality of my people. As one would say; your ex[periences will be worthwhile if you have an open mind. My country forks are wonderful but they are also human. And, above all never compare our American life with their lives for you will be disappointed. Be happy and accept them for who and what they are and your time there will be very memorable. Mabuhay.....American-Filipino here on the West Coast of the USA.😁😁😎😎👍👍😊😊

🎺💡Lola Amour posted a lyric breakdown on their channel bec so many people who didn’t speak filipino wanted to get a translation & wanted to understand the song. You guys could check it out! They also posted about how the original demo of this was fully in english but they all thought that the lyrics sounded better in filipino.

[@kylereacts8331]

This song got viral when there was a typhoon and it always rained for more than a month. So people can relate to the song. So it became a hit song and until now, it keeps on playing even it's not raining anymore. Haha

[@anuka3523]

First time I heard this on the radio while driving loved it.

Here's the English translation of the lyrics provided directly by Lola Amour: RAINING IN MANILA (ENGLISH TRANSLATION) It's been raining in Manila, do you feel it too? And it's been raining in Manila, do you feel it too? But, if it's raining in Manila, I won’t hear from you So, I'll be waiting in Manila even if I know you won’t come back VERSE 1 Does it rain where you are when it’s raining here? Sorry but it’s looking like I can’t join you in your ups and downs and your everyday The only way I can see you is if I close my eyes I can only look into your eyes in my dreams PRECHORUS How’ve you been? But you don't need to respond I just want to know, is the spark in you still alive? I hope you’re still the same CHORUS 1 It's been raining in Manila, do you feel it too? Is it hard being alone in the cold? It's been raining in Manila, do you feel it When you don't see the stars? Does the world feel dark? VERSE 2 Do you feel like there’s something missing there that you left behind here? What use is the rain when you’re in paradise? In the past, you were by my side in case I would slip Now you I have no one to share warmth with when it’s raining I hope it stops raining PRECHORUS 2 How’ve you been? But you don't need to respond I just want to know, is the spark in you still alive? I hope you’re still the same CHORUS 2 ‘Cause It's been raining in Manila, do you feel it too? Is it hard being alone in the cold? It's been raining in Manila, do you feel it When you don't see the stars? It's been raining in Manila, do you feel it too? Is it hard being alone in the cold? It's been raining in Manila, do you feel it When you don't see the stars? Does the world feel dark? BRIDGE PRECHORUS How’ve you been? But you don't need to respond I just want to know, is the spark in you still alive? I hope you’re still the same FINAL CHORUS But if it’s raining in Manila, I won’t be able to hear you Lying alone in the cold So I'll be waiting in manila even if I know you won’t come back But the stars will always be there, the stars will always be there Wherever in the world you may be - Enjoy! ❤

[@docriztigbauan7596]

Para kanimo ba yan talaga Ang kantang yan?❤❤❤ it's actually a sad song

[@marvinseanterry9200]

@@docriztigbauan7596 Yes, sad song talaga sya. Para yan sa taong malayo sa kanya or na mi miss nya kasi hindi sila mag kasama. Kung mapapansin mo yung ibang lyrics, panay sya tanong: "Maulan ba sa inyo 'pag bumubuhos dito? Paumanhin, at mukhang hindi ko Masasabayan ang 'yong yapak sa pagngiti at pag-iyak Sa paglipad at pagbagsak ng araw-araw" "Kamusta ka na? Kahit 'wag nang sagutin 'Di ba nawala ang kintab ng bituin? Sana gano'n ka nga pa rin 'Cause it's been raining in Manila, hindi ka ba nilalamig? Mahirap bang mag-isang nanginginig? And it's been raining in Manila, hindi ka ba nilalamig 'Pag wala ang mga tala? Oh Madilim ba ang mundo?" Parang LDR ang setup nila or long distance relationship.

You should also have to watch their rendition of Valerie. It is such a bop the way they arrange the music

[@markt47]

I think what you are still missing are the local bands that perform on local bars. Since you're here in PH already, try to visit the top bars (where they have bands) near you on a Friday night. There are many singers/bands that is just as good in any viral video you've watch. Specially the older ones where some of them goes in and out of the country to play overseas just because that is where they earn more.

[@mayogabiola1673]

OMG!! Great to hear that youbare here in the Philippines! Thank you for believing in the PH talent! i ❤ u for that!! 🫰🫰🫰 Please react to Silent Santuary songs hehehe

I think it's City Pop. It's a genre that didn't really take hold in the US. It was popular in Japan and Philippines around the 80s.
