Why is it called ‘OPM’?

Подробнее о видео

OPM, which stands for Original Pilipino Music, has been a prominent and influential musical genre in the Philippines. The term 'OPM' was coined during the 1970s by Danny Javier, initially used to describe pop ballads that gained fame during the Manila Sound era. This was a transformative period in the history of Filipino music, as artists like Freddie Aguilar's 'Anak' became famous and even transcended language barriers with translations in various languages. The martial law era of the 1970s saw the emergence of these famous OPM songs that continue to remain relevant, with some even going viral and trending in recent times.

These iconic OPM songs, such as 'Anak' by Freddie Aguilar, 'Tatsulok' by Bamboo, and 'Upuan' by Gloc 9 featuring Jeazell Grutas of Zelle and many, many others, have become synonymous with Filipino pop culture. These tracks showcase the rich diversity of OPM styles, from ballads to rock-infused melodies, encapsulating the various genres within the OPM umbrella. OPM's enduring popularity is evident through the timeless appeal of Rey Valera's 'Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko' and the contemporary resonance of Michael Pangilinan's 'Pare Mahal Mo Raw Ako.' etc. As the music scene evolves, OPM continues to thrive, with both classic hits and modern releases contributing to its enduring fame, making it a significant and cherished part of the Filipino musical landscape.
