With only a month away before their much-awaited concert, ALAMAT sat down with the media in a press conference at the Viva Café on Nov. 7. The boy group members revealed details about their upcoming concert, the lessons they've learned throughout their journey, and about being P-pop artists.
ALAMAT and Their Passion for their Craft
"Ragasa," can mean passionate, rush, or surge in Filipino. For ALAMAT, it was high time for them to showcase their growth as artists and passionate artistry throughout the years.
If "Dagundong," their first concert, was to introduce and stake their names in the P-pop community, then "Ragasa" is for them to show everyone how much they've improved and honed everything they've learned.
Over the years since their 2021 debut, the group has been able to find their "flavor" through collaborations they've had with several composers, writers, and teams, as well as through the constructive criticisms they've used as motivation for their artistry.
Staying True to Themselves
Competition and comparisons are mainstays in every industry. In the P-Pop community, ALAMAT is always pit against fellow groups SB19 and BINI, but do they feel that pressure to do better than the rest of their contemporaries?
ALAMAT said there's no need to do all that. "We're all friends here," Jao said. They also recounted that in their past appearance at an event, SB19 often approached them and other artists, and invited them to do TikTok videos.
ALAMAT even gave a shout out to SB19, BINI, and G22 for showcasing what P-Pop has to offer in other countries. But of course, there's always that pressure to do good in an industry that's only quite recently found its footing. To that, the boy group said that they train every single day and focus solely on their growth.
There's no need for negativity, only good vibes.
Staying true to their roots and keeping it "hyperlocal"
One thing ALAMAT is proud of is being Filipino, and that's been obvious since the beginning. Being proudly Pinoy has definitely been their concept, and they own it so well. From their name, their lyrics and music, down to their styling, ALAMAT is a living testament to staying true to their roots.
Now the question that they get a lot these days is if they, as a group, have plans to expand globally, just like their peers. To which the boy group said, "If K-pop groups can still be local while being appreciated internationally, then so can we."
Through their songs, they draw attention to the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines. Through their clothes, they represent Filipino designers and ultimately show what Filipino fashion is all about. And they're proud of that.
"Ragasa" as a Statement
With this concert, ALAMAT is dying to show how they've changes since their first solo concert, "Dagundong," held almost a year ago. "Growth" was the word of the day during the press conference and the boy group is keen to let people know that they can be known for so much more.
"Ragasa" may just be one month away, but ALAMAT can't hide their excitement any further. One thing is for certain, though. Even if they feel like they've grown as a group or if they're hungry for more, they'll always say "mata sa langit, paa sa lupa (aim for the sky, [but] keep your feet on the ground)."
ALAMAT is a six-member boy group managed by Viva Artists Agency. They first debuted with the track "kbye" in February 2021. Comprised of members Taneo, Mo, Tomás, R-ji, Alas and Jao, the group is known for representing different regions in the Philippines. Each of the members also sing the Philippine language from where they hail from: Tagalog, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Bikolano, and Waray-waray.
