Introduction to OPM: The Heartbeat of Filipino Music
OPM, or Original Pilipino Music, is a genre of popular music that originated in the Philippines. It refers to music composed and performed by Filipino artists, often in Tagalog or other Philippine languages. The term gained popularity in the 1970s, coinciding with the rise of local music production in the country. Over the years, OPM has evolved, blending traditional Filipino sounds with various international influences, and has become a defining feature of the Filipino cultural identity. The genre has its roots in folk music, kundiman (a traditional Filipino love song), and harana (a form of serenade), but has since expanded to include a wide range of musical styles, including pop, rock, hip-hop, and R&B.
