POP MUSIC

Parallel with the disco era, other pop music superstars continued to emerge. Among them were Neil
Sedaka (Laughter in the Rain), Diana Ross and the Supremes (Stop in the Name of Love), Olivia
Newton John (Hopelessly Devoted to You), Stevie Wonder (You Are the Sunshine of My Life), Elton
John (Skyline Pigeon), The Carpenters (We’ve Only Just Begun), and Barry Manilow (Mandy).

Pop superstars in more recent years include solor artists Celine Dion (My Heart Will Go On), Madonna
(Material Girl), Whitney Houston (I Will Always Love You), Mariah Carey (Hero), Justin Timberlake
(Justified), Britney Spears (Oops, I Did It Again), Beyonce (Irreplaceable), Lady Gaga (Bad Romance),
and Bruno Mars (Just The Way You Are); as well as vocal groups such as Boyz II Men (Four Seasons of
Loneliness), The Backstreet Boys (I Want It That Way), N’Sync (This I Promise You), Destiny’s Child
(Survivor), among many others.

Michael Jackson, “The King of Pop”

Perhaps the most popular solo performer of all time is Michael Joseph Jackson who was born on
August 29, 1958 and died on June 25, 2009. He was an American recording artist, entertainer, singer-
songwriter, record producer, musical arranger, dancer, choreographer, actor, businessman, and
philanthropist.

The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut as an entertainer in 1968 as a member of
The Jackson 5. He then began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group and was referred
to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years. Jackson's 1982 album Thriller remains the world's best-
selling album of all time, and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling
records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995).

In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in American popular music and culture. He was the
first African American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of
his music videos airing on MTV, such as Beat It, Billie Jean, and Thriller—widely credited with
transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form—helped bring the relatively
new channel to fame. Videos such as Black or White and Scream made Jackson an enduring staple on
MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of
physically complicated dance techniques, such as the “robot” and the “moonwalk.” His distinctive
musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop music, and contemporary R&B artists
across several generations world-wide. Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial
causes through his “Heal the World Foundation,” charity singles, and support of 39 charities.

One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other
achievements include “Multiple Guinness World Records”—including one for "Most Successful
Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career, and the sale

of 750 million records worldwide. Jackson is one of the world’s most famous artists because of his
highly successful career which made him a part of popular culture for nearly four decades.

At the time of his death, Jackson was preparing for “This Is It,” a series of 50 concerts that would have
been held at The O2 arena in London beginning July 13, 2009, and a world tour to follow after the
series of concerts. After Michael Jackson's death, Billboard's entire top nine positions on Billboard's
Top Pop Catalog Albums chart housed Jackson related titles on July 1, 2009.

Today’s Pop Music Idols

As the 21st century continues to unfold, more and more pop groups emerge spanning an entire range
of musical styles and genres. There are music groups like Black Eyed Peas, K Pop (Korean), My
Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boys, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Souja Boy, Train, Maroon 5, and One
Direction.

While solo performers include Adele, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Ariana Grande,
Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Nikki Minaj, Selena Gomez, and others.

HIP HOP AND RAP

Hip hop music is a stylized, highly rhythmic type of music that usually (but not always) includes
portions of rhytmically chanted words called “rap.” In rapping, the artist speaks along with an
instrumental or synthesized beat. Hip hop arose in the 1970s within the Afro-American and Latino
youth in the Bronx area of New York City. But by the 1980s, it had spread to many other countries. It
has since evolved into a subculture that encompasses music (rapping, DJing, scratching, and
beatboxing); a nearly acrobatic style of dancing, called break dancing; a distinct manner of dress; and
graffiti-style artwork.

Among the early hip hop artists were LL Cool J and Run-D.M.C. While more recent popular names in
this genre have been Beastie Boys, Eminem, and Kanye West.

ALTERNATIVE MUSIC

Alternative music was an underground independent form of music that arose in the 1980’s. It became
widely popular in the 1990’s as a way to defy “mainstream” rock music. Thus, it was known for its
unconventional practices such as distorted guitar sounds, oppressive lyrics, and defiant attitudes. It
was also characterized by high energy levels that bred new styles such as new wave, punk rock, post-
punk, indie rock, gothic rock, jangle pop, noise pop, C86, Madchester, Industrial Rock, and Shoegazing.
Examples of alternative music are You Belong with Me, Shake It Off

CLASSICAL MUSIC MADE POPULAR

Meanwhile, classical music continued to flourish alongside all these other musical styles. The famed
masterpieces of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and Liszt continued to be propagated on the concert
stage and through recordings. For their part, 20 th century composers expanded the genres of classical
music with daring new styles such as minimalism, chance music, and avant-garde music.

CROSSOVER PERFORMANCES: CLASSICAL AND POP

In recent years, a number of classical musicians have begun to render “crossover” performances, in
which they combine classical compositions with popular pieces such as jazz, rock, and folk music in
the same concert or recording.

For instance, such opera greats as Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, and Andrea
Boccelli successfully drew a large audience to their performances by including popular numbers in
their repertoire. They also performed side by side with pop singers Elton John, Celine Dion, Sting, and
classical-pop artist Josh Groban; while the all-male group II Divo combined operatic and popular
songs in their concerts.

Symphonic groups like the Boston Pops Orchestra began to include Broadway and other popular hits
in their recordings and performances. While Maksim Mrvica, a contemporary young pianist from
Croatia, brought a new dimension to the concert scene by popularizing classical music through a near-
pop idol image.

PHILIPPINE POPULAR MUSIC

The one word that comes to mind when we think of contemporary Philippine music is the type
commonly termed as Original Pinoy Music or Original Philippine Music, or OPM for short. It was
originally used to refer only to Philippine pop songs, particularly ballads, such as those popular after
the collapse of its predecessor, the Manila Sound, in the late 1970s up until the present.

In the 1960s to 1970s, Nora Aunor, Pilita Corrales, Eddie Peregrina, Victor Wood, Asin, APO Hiking
Society, and others were highly popular OPM singers. In the 1970s to 1980s, the major commercial
Philippine pop music artists were Claire dela Fuente, Didith Reyes, Rico Puno, Ryan Cayabyab, Basil
Valdez, Celeste Legaspi, Hajji Alejandro, Rey Valera, Freddie Aguilar, Imelda Papin, Eva Eugenio,
Nonoy Zuñ iga, and many others.

ORIGINAL PILIPINO MUSIC (OPM)

The 1980s to 1990s are also regarded as the golden era of Philippine ballads. Among the classics that
emerged were those created by:

GRADE 10 - SECOND QUARTER
 Ryan Cayabyab (Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika, Kahit Ika’y Panaginip Lang)
 George Canseco (Kapantay ay Langit, Kastilyong Buhangin, Tubig at Langis)
 Willie Cruz (Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas, Bituing Walang Ningning)
 Jose Mari Chan (Beautiful Girl, Please Be Careful With My Heart, Constant Change)
 Gary Valenciano (Sana Maulit Muli)

Most of these compositions made use of Western-type melody and harmony, while expressing
uniquely Filipino emotions in movingly poetic lyrics. These came to be known as OPM, and were
popularized by solo artists like Pilita Corales, Nora Aunor, Basil Valdez, Celeste Legaspi, Hajji
Alejandro, Leah Navarro, Sharon Cuneta, Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, ZsaZsa Padilla, Regine
Velasquez, and Ogie Alcasid.
At the start, OPM was centered in Manila, where Tagalog and English are the dominant languages.
However, other ethno-linguistic groups such as the Visayan, Bikol, Kapampangan, and Ilocano also
began to sing and record their songs in their native dialects.

Between the 1980s and 1990s, OPM was led by artists such as Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Lea
Salonga, Regine Velasquez, Sharon Cuneta, Vina Morales, Raymond Lauchengco, Francis Magalona,
Pops Fernandez, José Mari Chan, Dingdong Avanzado, Janno Gibbs, Ogie Alcasid, Joey Albert, Manilyn
Reynes, among many others.

In the 1990s, the famous solo artists and bands included The Eraserheads, Smokey Mountain, Donna
Cruz, Jessa Zaragoza, Ariel Rivera, Southborder, Afterimage, Andrew E., Jaya, Rivermaya, Parokya ni
Edgar, among many others. Underground bands emerged and along with them were their perceptions
of idealism and self-expression.

More recently, OPM stars have included Yeng Constantino, Sarah Geronimo, Aisa Seguerra, and
international singers Arnel Pineda (of the international rock group, Journey), Charice Pempengco, and
others.

PHILIPPINE POP MUSIC

Pop music in the Philippines started as an adaptation or translation, if not complete imitation, of
Western hits. It started with Bobby Gonzales’ Hahabol-habol (Hot Pursuit), a local version of the rock
and roll songs of the 1950s, and Rico Puno’s Luneta, a local adaptation of The Way We Were. This
immediately clicked with the youth and eventually gained wide acceptance even among the “burgis”
(bourgeois or elite) crowd.

The start of the “Manila Sound” in the mid-1970s gave rise to songs using a colloquial language called
Taglish, a combination of Tagalog and English. These Filipino lyrics sung to pop melodies resulted in
highly singable songs with contemporary appeal.

Among the proponents of the Manila Sound were the Hotdog, Cinderella, The Rainmakers, and the Apo
Hiking Society. After waning briefly in the 1990’s, this sound regained popularity in recent years with
remakes of the 1970s originals by contemporary rock bands.

PHILIPPINE JAZZ

Philippine musicians have also been inspired by jazz music. Among them are jazz pianist and
recording artist Boy Katindig, who comes from the well-known clan of musicians that includes jazz
piano legend Romy Katindig and saxophonist Eddie Katindig. The Katindig family pioneered Latin jazz
in Manila.

Other notable Filipino jazz musicians include Lito Molina, Angel Peñ a, Emil Mijares, and
internationally known jazz pianist Bobby Enriquez.
PHILIPPINE ALTERNATIVE FOLK MUSIC

The Philippines also saw the rise of alternative folk music which was different from the traditional
and popular form. This new form combined ethnic instrumentation with electronic accompaniment,
while presenting themes or issues of society and the environment. Some of the Filipino composers
who championed this style were Joey Ayala, Grace Nono, and Edru Abraham of Kontragapi
(“Kontemporaryong Gamelan Pilipino”).

Among other Filipino composers whose styles ranged from folk to semi-ethnic werewere Freddie
Aguilar, best known for his song Anak; Yoyoy Villame, composer of Magellan; Florante, composer of
Ako’y Isang Pinoy; and Gary Granada, composer of Ka Bayani.

PHILIPPINE ROCK

The year 1973 saw the birth of Philippine or “Pinoy” rock music which successfully merged the rock
beat with Filipino lyrics. This new sound was introduced by the legendary Juan de la Cruz Band (with
their song Ang Himig Natin) which had for its members Joey “Pepe” Smith, Wally Gonzales, and the
originator of Jeproks, Mike Hanopol, who later became a major symbol of Pinoy rock.

Other early exponents of Pinoy rock included the band Maria Cafra; Sampaguita, the female rocker;
and folk-rock singer Heber Bartolome and his Banyuhay band, whose songs expressed strong
messages of nationalism.

Continuing this legacy of Pinoy rock today are vocal groups and bands that include River Maya, The
Dawn, True Faith, The Eraserheads, Wolfgang, Bamboo, Parokya ni Edgar, Hale, Sandwich, SugarFree,
Sponge Cola,and others.

PINOY RAP

In the Philippines, rap was also made popular by such composers and performers as Francis Magalona
(Mga Kababayan Ko and Watawat) and Andrew E (Humanap Ka ng Pangit). Francis Magalona was
born on October 4, 1964 and died on March 6, 2009. He is also known as FrancisM, “Master Rapper,”
and “The Man From Manila.” He was a Filipino rapper, songwriter, producer, actor, director, television
host, and photographer. He is often hailed as the “King of Pinoy Rap” and is considered a legend in the
Philippine music community. With the success of his earliest albums, Magalona was the first Filipino

rapper to cross over to the mainstream and was credited for having pioneered the merging of rap with
Pinoy rock.

PINOY HIP HOP

Hiphop is becoming popular especially in dance forms in the Philippines. Groups have joined the Hip
Hop International contests in the US which is considered as “the Olympics of hiphop.” Among the
groups that won in this contest are A TEAM (2014 Champion, Megacrew), legit Status, and Romancon.
Other teams are LSDC Street, Rockstar, Alliance, and Letran Pages.
