FilipiNotes, a regular open mic dedicated to Original Pilipino Music continues to receive attention and interest from OPM artists, practitioners and lovers of the craft. Fueled with the objective of encouraging more people to experience local compositions by providing a venue and opportunity to perform beautiful music from the Philippines, FilipiNotes gathers people from all walks of life to be one in not belittling music written by our countrymen. Hence, their clever slogan: “Huwag Maliitin ang Notang Pinoy”.
FilipinNotes published in July an online video that featured musicians, composers, and singers including, Dingdong Avanzado, Aiza Seguerra, Poppert Bernadas, Timmy Pavino, and Kim Molina who gave reasons why people should sing OPM and proudly joined the group’s call to be proud of our “Notang Pinoy”.
More artists are joining the bandwagon in support of the group and its endeavor. Recently, the organizers of the OPM open mic did a Facebook Live broadcast that featured The Voice of the Philippines Season 2 contestant, Philippe Go and online sensation Jessah Chichirita, which was shared online by Lea Salonga.
FilipiNotes co-founder, Amiel Mendoza says, “We are completely overwhelmed and truly grateful for the support from the music industry. We are excited to see more help from artists and organizations who want to join us in bringing OPM to the fore where it belongs”.
