Manila Sound
Manila Sound is a popular music genre that emerged in the Philippines in the mid-1970s, embodying a blend of Western disco, pop, and soulful ballads with Filipino lyrical themes. Characterized by catchy melodies, smooth vocal harmonies, and a laid-back groove, it resonated with the cultural and social landscape of urban Manila during its time. The genre often features romantic or sentimental lyrics, reflecting the dreams, desires, and everyday experiences of its listeners. Artists like Rey Valera and Hagibis contributed to its mainstream appeal through their melodic ballads and upbeat rhythms. Manila Sound remains an iconic symbol of Filipino pop music that continues to influence contemporary OPM (Original Pilipino Music).
