#visayan pop

VisPop or Visayan Pop is a music genre derived under OPM, Original Pilipino Music. The Philippines, being a multilingual country, is home to Visayan speaking individuals compromising more than half of the country's population. With that, it is only natural that a music genre be born to it and thus, VisPop. VisPop is described to be more on a streetstyle music. It is a more of a communal pop music because it is so good to sing with it with only a guitar and a group of friends jamming anywhere leisurely. Whether in the classroom, by the beach, in a purok or in a mountain, vispop songs are just so easy to jam with. VisPop songs are known for having just a light-hype vibe in both ears and feels. Through the years, vispop has emerged to be more diverse than it was before. Any song as long as it is bisaya or more particularly, as long as it is made by a Visayan songwriter, no matter the genre or language used, it is now labeled as Vispop. No matter what the occasion, who you're with, Vispop is now officially a genre you can enjoy with.

Artists are great storytellers! They are part of everybody's childhood and give magic to a child's imagination. From the cartoons that we watched onscreen, to a singer's performance that we witnessed and left the audience in awe! These are a few to mention. For this platform, we promote various artists from the Visayas. Here, we will feature different genres of music from Visayan pop artists. The Visayan music scene is one that is bustling and thriving within the region. Just like any other music scene, it features many contemporary genres such as Visayan pop, Visayan rock, Visayan jazz, Visayan blues, and even traditional genres such as Visayan choral music or Visayan folk music. A lot of Visayan artists and musicians participate in this music scene—both legendary and up-and-coming musicians equally contribute to its growth. The Visayan music scene is also a safe space for local Visayan bands, artists and musicians to freely express themselves through music. Locally based aspiring musicians can take inspiration from the industry pioneers and apply it into their own songwriting. It also serves as a community for Visayan musicians to gather and share their own works for the public to enjoy. The Visayan music scene, however, mostly remains within the region. Artists and musicians with world-class talents and skills should not remain undiscovered; they should be showcased to the Philippines and to the world.
