P-POP IS CRAZY!! | REACTING TO ALAMAT - 'Gayuma' (Official M/V) (REACTION)

[@renai600]

The members had contributions for the Gayuma era. The choreo is made by Jao and Taneo, while the song is composed by Alas, Taneo, and Mo. Mo co-produced the song as well ^^. Thanks for the reaction!

[@theblanketstealer]

ALAMAT is hands down my favorite most swaggiest ppop group! please react to more of their music videos like Maharani, Aswang, Kasmala and you'll see why ;) their music is hip hop and r&b based and they always make it a point to represent our original indigenous pre-colonial culture through lyrics (they're the first and only ppop group to sing & rap in multiple languages, there are over 100 unique languages spoken in the Philipines), traditional folk dance inspiration incorporated into the choreo, showcasing baybayin (the nearly lost traditional script of our people), the traditional tribal sounds they use in the music, and also through utilizing tribal textiles in pretty much all of the outfits that they wear (their style is seriously ON POINT!). their intention is to share the beauty and uniqueness of our people... it's what they're known for! true gems of this growing ppop industry, they stand out from the rest because they're authentically doing something different from everyone else. also ALAMAT means "LEGEND". they are seriously dope af, i hope you go down the ALAMAT rabbit hole!

Like = Gusto I like you = Gusto kita

[@julienneloreto8561]

Hello! ALAMAT is a multiethnic, multilingual P-Pop group. They’re not the first multiethnic P-Pop group by any means - most P-Pop groups are actually multiethnic (as in the members hail from different ethnic groups native to the Philippines), but ALAMAT is the first to embrace their diversity, and they sing and rap in the members’ native languages. There could be as many as 7 or 8 languages in an ALAMAT song. “Gayuma” is in Taglish. But they have plenty of multilingual songs as well. I hope you can check those out! “ABKD” is one of their amazing multilingual songs, and their concept there is super different from “Gayuma.” “ILY ILY” is also one of their multilingual songs with a music video. “Hala” doesn’t have a music video, but their studio dance performance for it is pretty awesome. Those are just a few of the multilingual songs they have. Mo is half-Black American and half-Filipino, and he represents the Tagalog and Sambal languages. Taneo is Kalinga (an Indigenous tribe in the Philippines) and Ilocano, representing the Ilocano language. R-Ji is Waray (and Bisaya), representing the Waray language. Alas is Mindanawon Bisaya, representing the Bisaya (Cebuano) language. Tomas is Bicolano, representing the Bicolano language. Jao is Kapampangan, representing the Kapampangan language.

[@julienneloreto8561]

Sorry for all my explanations! But... Filipino is the name for standardized national Tagalog. It’s not really a separate language from Tagalog. Filipino, the standardized form of Tagalog, was developed in the late 1930s. Tagalog was chosen as its basis because it was the native lingua franca of Manila, the colonial capital.

[@theblanketstealer]

btw, ALAMAT does have a main choreographer named Jim Amen who has choreographed almost all of their dances/comebacks, he's amazing! every dance he's done for them is so fire. but for GAYUMA in particular, this song was written by ALAMAT themselves (mainly Mo, with the help of Taneo and Alas i believe) and also choreographed by ALAMAT as well (by their main dancers Jao and Taneo). so GAYUMA is super special and quite an incredible milestone for them since they debuted in 2021, being their first comeback both written and choreographed by them!

[@Ver0_Cat]

YESSS! Charlie, totally agree with you. I think Alamat is a cool way to learn about the Filipino culture and the languages! From their earlier MVs, lyrics, beats, clothes and symbols, you will get a lowdown on our pre-colonial, colonial and post colonial culture, then there is the futuristic vibe of Gayuma. From there, you'll be able to research more on the rich culture and heritage we have. Alamat is the avante garde of Filipino music as they've broken boundaries in many aspects. I stan other Ppop groups (mainly SB19 & G22), but IMO, Alamat is the only PPop group that is truly authentic Filipino from the very start. It was conceptualized from the ground up to embody Filipino culture starting from the name itself, "Alamat" meaning 'legend'. It has strewn in many influences from world pop, R&B and soul, to our own tribal roots. To me, Alamat is a historical journey, from past, present to future. It's all up to you where it'll take you. P/s Saw this video on my feed. I love following Kpop reactors reacting on Ppop for the first time. If Charlie has a YT channel, I'll follow him, too! (If I'm not mistaken, PH has 170++ or more languages, not a thousand+)

[@yokaiisme29]

More from Alamat pleeeeeaseeee!!!

[@theblanketstealer]

lol also you were right about the blonde guy at the end being the main dancer! his name is Jao :) him along with their other main dancer Taneo (guy with the shirt off at the end lolll) choreographed this dance!

[@Dyob21]

This was fun! 'I like you' in Filipino/Tagalog is 'Gusto kita'✌️🫶

[@theblanketstealer]

also yes, you guys got it right ~ the main girl in the video is basically enchanting them, she's like a sort of cyberpunk "Babaylan" (pronounced ba-bye-lahn) which were very important figures in our indigenous pre-colonial culture, they were essentially Shaman/Witches/Healers :)

[@quinton3199]

ALAMAT is amazing even though I rarely check out their music but when I get around to it's a bop and exciting transitions

[@graciad.1270]

Thank you for reacting to Alamat hoping for more reaction ❤ Say u love me is also a top-notch and btw some of their song is they using a 7 language .. they are a multilingual ppop group

[@migs-eh]

Welcome to the PPop fam, and I can't wait to see your journey through 🇵🇭 music. BTW to say "I like you" is "gusto kita" or "gusto ko kayo" (pronounced like "goos-toh")

[@Ro0oo.]

Thank you for supporting them! Please listen to more of their songs.

[@KarenReacts]

I got you!❤️thanks for watching!

[@crisanguia6174]

That’s amazing! I know that historically New Orleans was one of the places where many Filipinos settled even having created a “Little Manila”. It is beautiful that you want to explore that part of your ancestry no matter the percentage . Welcome to the family!

[@Sid_Istorya]

There are gradations of desire in Filipino, too! Mahal kita = I love you. Iniibig kita = A more poetic way of saying I love you. Gusto kita = I like you. / I am interested in you.

[@Em-ff7fj]

If this dance with all the body rolling got you, wait until you see the MV for Say U Love Me 🤣 can't wait to see y'all react to more ppop!!

[@magiliwsingapore8352]

I absolutely enjoyed your reaction! It was just pure joy and fun. Thank you very much. ALAMAT is the only multilingual PPop group. They sing in many different languages, and the members come from different parts of the Philippines. So if you are looking for great representation of Filipino music today, ALAMAT is one.

[@champoot]

Can't wait for you guys to react to more ALAMAT 🤎

[@atemagiliw4090]

Thank you Charlie. Glad you discovered Alamat. Alamat is really a cool group. Their discography is really amazing. Thank you also Karen. Love your reaction with Charlie.

[@jhoeysarno7142]

That was a very good reaction video! Subscribed! Thanks for learning the language and most of all thanks for reacting to Alamat. They're awesome, please listen to them more and you will not be disappointed. 😀

[@djromelee8708]

If you watch Ppop groups live wish bus performances, you're going to love them more. I swear, most of Ppop groups if not all, are all great vocalist and has great harmonies. The group that is considered as Ppop Kings is SB19 if you wanna know why, you have to check it on your own. Their Talent are just, crazy. In my opinion they are unmatchable by any pop groups out there at this point

[@Mina_1624]

Thank you for checking out PPop, check out Alamat "ILY ILY" Music Video, Alamat "Maharani" Music video ... hope you react to more PPop groups too!☺️ Would love to watch your RV more❤️ SB19, 1st one, KAIA, G22 and Bini and more❤️ I'm gonna subscribe to you guys❤️

[@manuelitocopuaco0714]

Tnx to RV I ALSO RECOMMEND SB19 'S BAZINGA,VXON'S THE BEAST, G22'S BANG

[@elle02220]

thank you for the reaction and supporting PPOP and learning about our language and culture. Tagalog is one of the several languages in the Philippines. It is our national language and taught in school along with English. You are both correct "mahal ko kayo" is i love you all. Paalam is goodbye. we hardly use it tho, Filipinos usually just say bye 😁

[@julienneloreto8561]

Many, not several! We actually have 100+ languages.

[@tarsierchronicles]

Thank you for listening and appreciating PPOP. 🥰

[@capricornia_2994]

The guy reactor looks like he knows a lot about PPOP, Philippines in general or Alamat. Impressive.

You really have to check all their songs 😊

[@mikichannelinjapan]

my favorite alamat song is SAY U LOVE ME🥰its fireeee🔥 please react to sb19 ❤❤❤ any song you’ll love them they are one of the pioneer of ppop and have a very large fandom.. you can start by reacting to WYAT😊

[@hl2582]

Thank you.. Ppop has good groups - alamat is one of them. They also have another good song: "maharani"

[@herninaniego1699]

Thanks so much guys for your support to our Alamat ❤❤❤❤❤

[@BbNanay]

Philippines has about 120 languages and no gender pronouns (You could be living in one island and part of the population would not understand the other.) Tagalog is the main language. Easiest to learn tagalog is to know that every vowel has a short sound. Easiest sentence to learn: "Bababa ba?"(Is this/it going down?)

[@KarenReacts]

120?!!! Woah!! Thats amazing!! Thank you for this! Im saying it in my next p-pop reaction! Let me know if i say it right haha

[@jungsky5469]

According to Ethnologue, Philippines have a total of 182 languages. I think "dialects" is outdated term and partly as a relic of the inaccurate vocabulary used in literature during the American period (1898-1946).

[@julienneloreto8561]

Not outdated, but simply inaccurate. Outdated implies that it was accurate or true at some point in time. It wasn't true, ever. Once they diverged thousands of years ago, way before the colonizers came, then they became languages. The Philippine languages were always languages.

[@jungsky5469]

@@julienneloreto8561 good point 👍 hope Filipino should stop calling Cebuano, Bicolano and other languages as "dialect".

[@fbkintanar]

7:25 "Is there a 'like'?" The most natural way to say "I like you" is "Gusto kita," but be careful that can also mean "I have a crush on you" (I guess that's true of the English as well, sometimes). "I have a crush on you" would be more literally expressed "May gusto ako sa iyo", but even "Gusto kita" might be understood with a romantic sense, although it is commonly used without such a meaning, just an ordinary friendship "like".

[@zoilacertifiedgalaera6810]

I like you means gusto kita in Tagalog or Filipino.

[@aldwee5846]

Gusto kita = I like you

[@chrisdcsilva]

I am so happy. You even have an idea about the language of the Philippines. Thank you for informing your viewers about the language. The official language of the Philippines is both FILIPINO and ENGLISH. The Filipino language is based on TAGALOG, the main dialect of the nation's capital, Manila and surrounding areas. But yes. We have hundreds to thousands of different dialects because we are an archipelago. Other dialects include Cebuano (from Cebu province), Ilocano (from Ilocos province), Bisaya (from the Visayas region), etc. And yes, we Filipino have the term TAGLISH to denote the use of both English and Tagalog (Filipino) in our everyday conversation. We can't help it. We are also colonized by the Americans and they taught us the language. So even after the Americans leave the Philippines, it becomes one of our main language that it is even taught as early as five in schools here. Anyway, thank you very much for reacting to this video and to Alamat. If we have to strictly rate P-Pop based on talent alone, they come second after SB19. This group is so underrated that any form of reaction from reactors such as you guys could help these guys. Word of mouth will catapult them to stardom. I hope you like them and their music. And we wish for you to continue to reacting to Alamat.

[@KarenReacts]

This was actually perfect! Thank you so much its so informative. Thank you for sharing this with us as im always wanting to learn more. We will definitely keep watching! Let us know what to watch next!

[@Sid_Istorya]

Ay uy, Chris, one of Alamat's advocacies is the differentiation of "languages" from "dialects." Tagalog is a language, just like other Binisaya (Cebuano), Ilocano, Kapampangan etc. Let's categorize them as languages. They are not derivatives of something. This classification helps build the distinct identities of the language as well as their speakers. Also, I think we should shy away from ranking PPop groups (eg Group YY is second to Group XX). These hierarchies are really arbitrary and unproductive - doing so usually just sows seeds of prejudice. Salamat sa PPop support and I hope u take this positively!
