OPM History Evolution
Original Pilipino Music, commonly known as OPM, is a term used to refer to music created by Filipino artists in the Philippines or abroad. OPM has a long and rich history that spans over several decades, and it has played a significant role in shaping Filipino culture and identity. In this essay, we will explore the origins of OPM, its evolution over the years, and its impact on Filipino society.
OPM has its roots in traditional Filipino music, which dates back centuries before the arrival of the Spanish colonizers. Traditional Filipino music was heavily influenced by the Malay, Chinese, and Islamic cultures, and it was characterized by the extensive use of percussion instruments such as the kulintang, gong, and tambol. When the Spanish arrived in the Philippines in the 16th century, they brought with them Western music, including the church hymns and folk songs that were popular in Europe at the time. Over the years, traditional Filipino music and Western music began to merge, resulting in a unique blend of styles and genres that came to be known as OPM.
The first recorded instance of OPM can be traced back to the early 1900s, when the first Filipino musical theater production, “Dalagang Bukid,” was staged in Manila. The play featured a number of original songs that were written by Filipino composers, and it was a huge success. In the following decades, OPM continued to gain popularity, and by the 1950s and 60s, Filipino musicians had started to create their own distinct styles of music that drew on a wide range of influences, including jazz, rock, and traditional Filipino music.
One of the most significant developments in the history of OPM came in the 1970s, when a new genre of music called Manila Sound emerged. Manila Sound was characterized by its upbeat, disco-influenced sound and its catchy melodies, and it quickly became popular throughout the Philippines. Some of the most well-known Manila Sound artists include Hotdog, VST & Company, and Apo Hiking Society, whose songs are still popular today.
In the 1980s and 90s, OPM continued to evolve, with new genres such as Pinoy Rock and Pinoy Pop emerging. Pinoy Rock was heavily influenced by Western rock music, and it featured bands such as The Eraserheads, The Youth, and The Teeth. Pinoy Pop, on the other hand, was more focused on creating catchy, radio-friendly songs that could appeal to a wider audience. Some of the most popular Pinoy Pop artists include Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera, and Regine Velasquez.
In recent years, OPM has continued to thrive, with a new generation of Filipino musicians creating music that draws on a wide range of styles and influences. Some of the most popular OPM artists today include Sarah Geronimo, Yeng Constantino, and Moira Dela Torre, whose songs have become anthems for the younger generation of Filipinos.
The impact of OPM on Filipino society cannot be overstated. OPM has played a significant role in shaping Filipino culture and identity, and it has helped to foster a sense of national pride and unity. OPM has also provided a platform for Filipino artists to showcase their talents and to express themselves in a way that resonates with their fellow Filipinos. For many Filipinos, OPM is more than just music – it is a way of life.
In conclusion, Original Pilipino Music is an essential part of Filipino culture and identity. OPM has evolved over the years, drawing on a wide range of styles and influences to create a unique sound that is instantly recognizable. OPM has played a significant role in shaping Filipino society, and it continues to be a source of
