The song with "Dos Caliente" lyrics is a Chavacano song. It was very popular here in the Philippines. The song title is Mobe by Enrique Gil. ❤️🙂 You may check it out.

[@Zee_1003]

i will never forget how Elizabeth Ramsay (JAYA'S MOM) would perform every time she would aing WARAY-WARAY. WARAY-WARAY talks about a geoup of ppl (specifically the women) of Samar province for being tough compared to other Filipino women...

Thanks for the music!

[@emskat118]

Wow 🎉❤

[@arctixilva1620]

No foreign YT content creator is as invested in Filipino music as you two. Genuine fans, not just for content. I almost feel embarrassed that you know more about our music than I do! Thanks for the love, Efra and Waleska!

[@dluckygurl8]

While some might argue that ballads (Regine, ZsaZsa, Pops, Ogie, Vina, etc.), RN'B and soul (Kayla, Jay R, Jaya), or pop (Sexbomb, Gary V, etc.) were booming in the 90's, rock and alternative music was the decade's winner and the most prevalent music genre in the 90's with bands like Eraserheads, Parokya Ni Edgar, The Dawn, AfterImage, Introvoys, Side A, True Faith, Color It Red, Hungry Young Poets/Barbie's Cradle, Teeth, Wolfgang, Rivermaya, Yano, The Youth, Freestyle, Neocolours, Alamid, Rizal Underground, etc. dominating the music scene.

[@denniszenanywhere]

I think we had 2 eras with the best opm - 70s and 90s

[@claudesison7089]

I think you should watch all the bands mentioned. They are Amazing! 👌👌

[@estellar87]

I agree

[@hualian5339]

and also early 2000's

[@thepinoychoppingboard1012]

No one can argue with that. It was indeed the era of bands during the 90s-early 2ks here in the PH.

[@lizzzzl]

you should get Mr Ryan Cayabyab in your podcast, a well respected musician in the Philippines

[@musicmuse4692]

APO (originally APO HIKING SOCIETY) was a group active from 1969-2010. Their music greatly influenced the evolution of OPM during the years they were active.

[@shemjapethebrada7824]

Waleska and Efra being immersed in the Philippine Music Industry warms my heart. One thing I would say that is I trust their inputs and reviews in our singing culture. Mentioning diff. names from the industry speaks for itself. They are not here for the clout, they are here to genuinely enjoy good music.

[@DestinyScy]

The 80’s were mostly balladeers like Martin Nievera and Regine. Most of the music were also introduced to us via Movies since our actors are alao singers like Sharon Cuneta, Lea Salonga and Gary Valenciano. But there’s also an introduction to rap in this era with Andrew E and Francis Magalona. The 90’s here was on point since our music was dominated with bands like Eraserheads, Introvoyz, Aegis and Parokya ni Edgar.

[@alec187]

The 70s-90s was a special time for Filipino music, VST and Complany, Apo Hiking Society, Eraserheads etc.

[@Rosa-mj5mt]

The song at the 1950’s was titled waray waray and it was sung by jaya’s mom elizabeth ramsey :)

[@m33p0]

Nida Blanca. You cannot mention that song without mentioning the movie Waray-waray and give praise to Nida Blanca.

[@Rosa-mj5mt]

[@gerc.4263]

JOSE Mari Chan's 'Constant Change' Album in 1990 got the Highest recognition - the Diamond 💎 record award ! 👍 This means Ballads or Love 💕 Songs are more revered or patronized in PH .🇵🇭✅💎👈 His song "Beautiful Girl" had been an instant hit 🎯 not just in the Philippines but other Asian countries as well.💎✅💎 Jose Mari is the Ultimate Balladeer of the Philippines 🏖️🇵🇭 All his Songs are Timeless Classics.🔥👍 .

[@xit2arq]

American music was accessible in the philippines during the 50s not only because of the vinyls brought by americans or by filipinos from abroad but also because of the power of AM radio. We had access to Voice of America (official broadcasting network of the u.s govt) etc..

[@One.Zero.One101]

It's amazing how I know 90% of these songs even the ones from the 40s and 50s. Just goes to show that Filipino singers like to keep old music alive. They still sing all those old songs in variety shows today.

[@pocs]

janno gibbs has been singing since the 80s. he is the king of soul here in the philippines. hope you guest him on your podcast

[@hirockblinkmonstiez]

70s OPM is where its at.....The Manila Sounds of the 70s....its timeless. You guys should react to Manila Sound: Sunshine of the 70's documentary. Its the golden era of OPM...during the 70s OPM was outselling songs from America.

[@dluckygurl8]

UP!

[@marklopez9588]

up @efra

[@lourdesbateo6597]

Thank you for mentioning my MAHALIMA SB 19 Efra and Waleska more power

[@ericselorio]

There's more than that way back, like Magtanim Hindi Biro (Planting Rice Is Never Fun-sung by famers while planting), and there's Magbayo (sung when smashing rice to seperate the grain, also "Labandera Ko" sung for washing clothes and there's the Harana, when the guy who like his girl that he love/likes with guitar go and sing her a song like "Dungawin Mo Hirang" while the girl is watching by the window. And of course ballad and kundiman songs and singers. Thank you.

[@atarahcliff8767]

Thank you guys! Lovelots! Yes! Casual Chuck is so underrated. He does his research. And his docu-videos are incredibly done!

[@milbertespiritu0]

Thanks for the reactions always to our Filipino singers......

[@MADesigns_]

From what I remember, after fighting for our freedom and gaining our independence from Spanish colonization in 1898, it wasnt even a year later that the Americans invaded and claimed sovereignty over the Philippines. Even though we fought mercilessly for our freedom again, Filipinos ended up losing the war against Americans. American imperialism lasted around 45+ years, so with that in mind, we did have a lot of American influence including music which is why some of the songs back in the early to mid 1900's had that common Western sound. 1:22 that is Cariñosa. I don't know if you can recall, but EZ Mil sampled the original for his PANALO song. 5:57 Ahhh CasualChuck. I agree, he makes super interesting content on SB19 and Filipino music in general, but is really underrated. I think the Filipina girl group Efra was talking about is "Baywalk Bodies"? For those who don't know what he's talking about, he's reffering to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZbUpoKQjtKAqrc

[@yasahirokoiwai1713]

Hello I'm from Japan I'm a new jaapn viewer but currently I'm living in the philiphines

[@arvinlazo133]

I love how knowledgeable both of you are with Filipino Artist and music. It really shows how you love OPM and how you genuinely love our artist. Thank you.

[@mobilegamestrial6972]

There's a problem with that video because it only includes music in pop culture. There were other local music traditions from different parts of the country that cannot be covered in a linear way.

[@marvequelistino1274]

I think its high time for all Filipinos in the country to recognize grass roots music. Mamamatay ito sa sunod na siglo kung walang tatangkilik.

[@purplextoxin]

Re: the 50's sound, there's a heavy American influence there because we were colonized before WW2 and there was still a military presence post-war and even though that colonial period ended, Western influence in pop culture, music, film, and fashion remained

[@Pinoytoonz2335]

I have to mention Waleska always looks fabulous. I always admire Waleska and Efra's on-point analysis of the technical aspects of music. They never fail to entertain me with their videos and my most favorite part of their content are the artists' interviews. I love you guys you're the best. Hello to London and Venezuela from the Philippines!

[@Ninong_NEIL]

Maannnn I want to list all the songs and ask you to react to all of them WHWHAHAHHA that would be a boom. Especially 1990 and 2010 is just nostalgia

[@se7ene11even-o1p]

this guy is too talented. holy,. not only great with vocals but his editing and mixing is so on point. mad respect 🤯

[@danilocorre3366]

Obviously ...a lot is missing on this presentations of the "Evolution of the Philippines music", the 70's music exploded in different genre's.

[@alaiberry2474]

it takes too long that is why he only selected some of what he knows ,maybe if he did a part 1 to 10 or to 50 parts he would include all the artists we know

[@romeohernandez2227]

You sibling are clever in choosing the Phil's.. artists to react because almost a billion Filipinos has their cellphones tuned in to KZbin. You are really smart to dive in our music industry...salute!👍👍👍

[@warrenvincentbanacia4557]

[@vincentsupena7132]

The song "Mr Dj " was sung by Sharon Cuneta in the 70s...

[@yelniely6982]

1940-60s sort of hispanic and americanized Filipino music with the visibility of solo singers the likes of Ms Pilita Corales and others but during 1970s was the golden era of Filipinos singers and music specially dominated by the country’s Superstar who is now National Artist - Ms. Nora Aunor foremost a singer and became the greatest filipino actress was famous for her golden voice. no other filipino singers or actors/actresses have come close to her popularity at the time because of her songs and music records.

[@golewa29]

I am so amazed by your knowledge of the Filipino Music.

[@dianexylene]

I dont know if i just missed it but a compilation without a April Boy Regino song, thats really a miss. April Boy Regino (and previously April Boys with his brothers) took Philippines by a storm with his ballads being a go-to songs in karaoke like 'Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin', 'Paano ang Puso Ko', 'Umiiyak ang Puso' etc. He is really an icon from the late 90s Please More APO Hiking Society reaction

[@adeladel-uw9he]

Eddie Peregrina, Victor Wood, Nora Aunor, Dulce, Asin don't remember what year they are but they were famous back then.

[@stanseventeen821]

i was born on 1984 and i heard 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 20's songs but my favorite are 70's-90's

[@katekyojp6338]

just FYI, these songs are not actually all R&B, he just made them sound like one. He put his musical twist to them

[@YELLJapanPH]

more than a medley, it's a mashup of Pinoy songs, wonderfully and seamlessly stitched together!

[@armikusella1]

WITH ALL THESE SINGERS IN THE PHILIPPINES , YOU SHOULD REACT TO MISS NORA AUNOR , THE COUNTRY'S ONE AND ONLY SUPERSTAR.... SHE DEFINED AND MADE THE 70'S A GOLDEN ERA OF FILIPINO MUSIC ..... NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THIS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY... YOU SHOULD READ HER BIO IN WIKIPEDIA AND YOU'LL BE AMAZED OF HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS.... JUST BEING HONEST HERE , IF WE SPEAK OF ICONS , INFLUENCERS AND TRENDSETTERS.... SHE WAS AWARDED THIS YEAR THE NATIONAL ARTIST AWARD ( GIVEN TO ONLY FEW IN THE INDUSTRY BY THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT ) ....

[@jimmynatividad5681]

I agree, the Filipino music industry, if to be revisited will never be complete without our national artist's contribution. She had proven that recording a Filipino composition during the 1970's was profitable. Our current recording artists owe a lot to her, she with an uncomparable golden voice and 18 lp albums. She did not need to shriek, whistle but her singing and interpretation during live performances have always merited standing ovations. I still prefer listening to her than today's creme of the crop singers whose style of singing breaks my eardrum. Worth mentioning also are pilita Corrales, Celeste legaspi, dulce, and many others whose works of art are exemplary and I am not mentioning the males and compositors yet.

[@michaelrelingo7824]

70's and 80's are more of a live band performances and this is also the time when most of the Pinoy band are working abroad as entertainers ( Hotels, cruise ships etc.).

[@kenkhen9496]

I always say this...you two are really the best reactors for me🥰

[@loulymn8407]

This seems like very very late but It'll be interestinf if you react to each songs he used there. For sure, you'll appreciate the evolution of Philippine Music more. Most of the songs he used encapsulated the time of our parents, and we hear it while we're growing up, playing in the streets, when we still used in listening to radio, etc. It's nostalgic. ❤

[@le57erguapo43]

Salamat po. I think 60s to 80s, rock and roll, dukebox, the group Smokey Mountain, among others that was I only know on that eras. OPM flourishes on that eras, too.

Its really interesting to hear from you a lot filipino singer as in a lot as if you had been in the philipines. But if you talk about music in the philipines, these should not be overlooked, nora aunor, pilita corales, rico puno, rey valera, freddie aguila, gary valenciano, martin nievara and more

[@waerjack01]

You should check the source of justin j's version from the channel Pinoy Vids Online, it's complete with the name of the songs and sometimes the name of the artist. The video has the same title but a 38 minute video. Justin j just compressed the songs from that video.

US occupation in the 1900's played a big part in the influence until 1950's when the Philippines became open to the world after WW2. Probably the reason why music became so diverse. Just an opinion, I don't know too much about history. I just remembered some parts of what was taught in elementary and high school. 😁 Great reaction guys. 👌

If you didn't notice, there were more selection from the 70s but only 1 or 2 from the 80s. The 70s was the Golden Age of OPM, then known as the "Manila Sound". Music from the time are classics that are still popular until now, whether the original or the covers, and still moat sung in karaokes. The 80s was dominated by American and British music, but OPM had a revival in the 90s.

Noticed there was a gap between 1500s to 1800s, the conquistadors destroyed all record of their past. Took me some time to find the arts from the isles and learned martial arts was hidden in their folk dances and childhood games. This was creative and interesting.
