Maharani: First time reacting to ALAMAT (2 of 3) | The Fil-Am Cam

We listened to 3 songs for the first time to get to know the group and their style.☺️
This video is not meant to replace the original music video, and is simply meant to express our thoughts about the art and show support to the artist.💙
Do watch ALAMAT's videos on their channel:

I'm so happy that more people are trying to get to know ALAMAT 💖

[@TheFil-AmCam]

We're thankful that people recommended them and now were curious to know more of their songs.☺️🇵🇭🤍

[@kuzu_no_ha]

They debuted as a 9-member group in 2021. Shortly after debut, 1 left for personal reasons. In 2022, one left to pursue a solo career, another left due to physical/mental health issues. They've been performing and thriving as a six-member group from that point on.

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Hope everyone's doing well!☺️💙

[@saiyongdawn7756]

Valfer and Kin are solo artists now. 🙂

[@TheFil-AmCam]

@@saiyongdawn7756 That's great!😃 Hope they'll find success as well.💙🇵🇭

[@kuzu_no_ha]

Singkil is the dance at the start of the MV. This requires 4 bamboo poles. Tinikling is the one they were performing in the field outdoors, w/ 2 poles. This dance mimics the tikling bird. Hope that clears it up.

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Cool, thank you!☺️

[@PreciousEyeballs]

The neckties have an Ofir design which is from the Maranaos whom the Singkil dance is from.

[@TheFil-AmCam]

I see. Thanks for that info!☺️🤍

[@elle02220]

thank you for the rv, i recommend their latest Day and Night, Dagundong, and Walang Hanggan from their new ep Isapuso, From their 1st album Pasulong pls check Gayuma, Say You Love Me, Aswang and Kasmala which is from their old single where there's still 9 of them.

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Thank you for that!😀👍🏼

[@imdreamingofawhite]

In their other song, Gayuma, the leader of another ppop girl group G22 was featured there.

[@TheFil-AmCam]

I like how P-pop groups support each other that way.☺️💙

[@NuebeAlas]

Gami that left for health reasons, is being launched this year as a Trio via 'Xerenade' with Martin and Migo (which is the toxic boyfriend in the video) 😊 You should also listen to Dayang , which is finding a true love opposite this song Maharani 😊 Thank you for reacting to our 6inoos ❤ The dance on the dancebreak is Singkil and the one they on the field is Tinikling PS The dance mam that you're doing with the chicken hands is Itik Itik sa Manila Zoo 😅

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Thanks for that info!☺️ And yes, it's itik itik sa Manila zoo nga! Hahaha 🦆😂

[@raymonileto7488]

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Thank you for that info!☺️ And thank you for your recommendations too.😃👍🏼

[@imdreamingofawhite]

If you want to know a historian’s take on Maharani, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIHRk6OCaMeKfbMsi=fUWVLKYyi9Ht0kRz It’s about an hour long so you might want to watch it on your own time but definitely interesting.

[@TheFil-AmCam]

That's sounds intriguing.😁 Thanks for the link!😘

[@raymonileto7488]

Thank you for reacting to Alamat.. 😍😍😍 The 1st and the last folk dance with costume is SINGKIL, a royal Muslim dance while Tinikling was performed in the field in the music video.

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Thank you for that info ☺️🤍

[@Summeroo231]

I think the dance is called Singkil

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Ah yes!! Thank you.☺️💙

[@adamariebahian486]

Singkil is the more complicated version of tiningkling which tells the Maranao epic 'Darangen'. It consists of 2 pairs of bamboo sticks, the suitor or datu and the princess or Bai. It also has a crescending beat and choreography. They incorporated so many Maranao symbols. The embroidery in their neckties are called Langkit and the headress is called the Sarimanok, a sacred symbol in Maranao culture mostly associated with Maranao nobility.

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Thank you for those details! I like how we are learning so much about different Filipino cultures based on their songs.🤍🇵🇭☺️

[@vondluffy]

I'm A'TIN and love ALAMAT too. I also listen to their songs. They're amazing too. I'm glad u get to listen to their songs

[@TheFil-AmCam]

We really enjoyed their songs!☺️♥️

[@yughioh]

FYI the gurl (Jhoanna) is the Leader of PPOP girl group BINI the sister group of BGYO 😊❤

[@TheFil-AmCam]

That's nice, P-pop groups are supporting each other!☺️💙

[@bangwi]

Singkil is the dance

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Yea we Googled it after watching the MV.😄 Thank you!☺️🇵🇭🤍

[@saiyongdawn7756]

Besides, Kbye Maharani may be my top fav song of Alamat. Thanks, guys. 🤩✌️ Btw, I hope you guys get to React to their 'Kasmala'. It has a historica significance to it. ❤

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Of the 3 songs we listened to, my fave is ILY ILY. Thank you for your Kasmala recommendation.☺️💙

[@ralphalicante2175]

I think the bird you are referring to is the Tikling or Tukling. Not sure if 'Moorhen' is the english name. It does sound similar to Tinikling 😊

[@TheFil-AmCam]

Thank you for that info.😁

[@jomarabdullah7533]

5:22 That's what you call MARUPOK Girl. 😅
