Ok, this song literally breaks my heart. The entire concept of the song is so deep. The lullaby in the beginning is an old lullaby called "ili, ili" (ILY ILY), particular to a certain region in the Philippines, I believe. Not sure if it means "hush, hush". This is a song of abandonment of children, a growing problem in the Philippines, that because of poverty, Filipinos are forced to go abroad, leave their children in the care of other relatives ie grandparents, aunts, etc while they send money and boxes called 'balikbayan boxes' filled with material gifts to 'buy their love'. The song is a cry of many children who grew up, having the privilege of a good life, a good education but lack the loving touch of their own mothers and presence of their fathers, essential to a development of a child. The song is about the children talking to their parents, part angry and resentful for their absence, and part lonely and grateful for their sacrifices. Then the Alamat members singing 5 different Philippine languages... Like what Josh said, it's SO different and experiemental. Because it truly is. And Brad actually hearing a Christmasy tone to it. Well, Christmas without your parents is one of the saddest holidays really. Many Filipino children experience that, not seeing their parents for years, up to a decade. People who don't even understand the languages in this song get it. That's the power of music. Ppop really is now the embodiment of literally breaking borders and stereotypes when OPM never even dared to sing other PH languages, but Tagalog on pop radio. The MV in itself is very artistic. There are so many symbolisms Filipinos will relate to. To make this into a pop song this beautiful is BEYOND ME. Pure musical genius and artistry showing the depths of our culture, both good and painful- everyone who is involved in this song and the entire team of ALAMAT, a job well done. It just doesn't sound good. It's eargasm and hits deep in your veins. The song touches our hearts, and it's inexplicable. What a MASTERPIECE.
Ili means child but the course of time changed it's meaning we as kids before thought it means cradle but we were damn wrong cause the song tells that the mother is asking her child to sleep. Before I heard the word Ilu which means orphan and then I did not realized that the Ili is the opposite of the word Ilu.
To Filipinos who keep commenting that they are singing in different dialects, NO THEY ARE NOT. They are singing in different Filipino languages. Bisaya, Kapampangan, Hiligaynon, Ilocano - those are languages. Manila Tagalog, Bataan Tagalog, Batangas Tagalog, Bulacan Tagalog - those are dialects.
It's the other way around. PILIPINO/FILIPINO is the National Language and is TAGALOG based. The rest are Sub-Languages or Dialects. TAGALOG is the LINGUA FRANCA of the Philippines and the Regional Languages are DIALECTS. DIALECTS are limited to each Region whereas TAGALOG are used throughtout the Country, thus it becomes the LINGUA FRANCA.
@@chattcedric6321as far as I know, this is the definition based on PH law. However, from a global linguistics standpoint, the concept that defines the relationship between languages and dialects is mutual intelligibility. A simplistic example: Someone speaking only Tagalog vs. Someone speaking only Ilocano : they will NOT understand each other: mutually UN-intelligible. Therefore they are speaking different languages. Someone speaking Bulacan Tagalog vs. Batangas Tagalog : there may be differences in some words but they will be able to understand each other. Therefore, they are speaking two different dialects of a language. A global example: British English and American English are different dialects of the English language.

@@kuzu_no_ha Generally, LANGUAGE is a form of COMMUNICATION. Now the DIFFERENCE between LANGUAGE and DIALECT has been in a somewhat of a quandary by Linguistics and Scholars. Here's my take and been checked and confirmed in Google. LANGUAGES are broader, and DIALECTS are smaller and more specific, and often REGIONAL. Languages are thought of as more formal and clearly defined, whereas dialects can be looser and more fluid in use. Oftentimes, LANGUAGES are ADOPTED as “OFFICIAL” by countries and states, but DIALECTS are not. A DIALECT is generally a particular form of a language which is specific to a REGION or social group and usually has differences in pronunciation, grammar, syntax and vocabulary. It's still a bit fuzzy to understand because DIALECT can be spoken by people living in one particular town. Now let's come to LINGUA FRANCA. LINGUA FRANCA is a LANGUAGE that is ADOPTED as a common language between speakers of a nation among other native languages. Having said that, what is now the LINGUA FRANCA of the Philippines? The 1987 constitution designates FILIPINO, a standardized version of TAGALOG, as the NATIONAL LANGUAGE and an OFFICIAL LANGUAGE along with ENGLISH. Filipino is regulated by Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino and serves as a LINGUA FRANCA used by Filipinos of various ethnolinguistic backgrounds. Hoping this will settle all quandaries and/or misunderstanding of the matter in question.
This is my most favorite Alamat song. The message, the style, the voices, the harmonies, everything is perfect for me. Not all may appreciate it but for me this is amazing.
Filipino artists love to thread on roads less travel… they love to experiment. the girl is Lyca she was the champion on the voice Kids Philippines while Darren esparto was the 1st runner up.
Pag talaga reaction vid ng Alamat laging may balitaktakan about Language vs Dialects. 😅 Ang sipag magexplain ng mga Magiliw. Continue to spread knowledge.
There are about 120 to 187 LANGUAGES in the Philippines. I speak two. This band and its members come from various regions of the Philippines; The Philippines consist of 7641 islands. And certain parts of this song were sung by the members in their own languages. This is the only band that does that; singing parts of the song in their respective language...American-Filipino here on the West Coast of the USA.
Waaaa! You finally reacted to their ily ily wish bus performance. I was hoping for this. I hope you can react to their other song "Maharani" in the future as well. Thank you for covering more of Alamat on your channel.
Ili-ili is literally a classic Ilonggo lullaby song. My mum sang this to all of us her children and I sang it to my kids too and so did all my other siblings. This song has been from generations to generations, til now this is still being sung.
I was really touched hearing the song----I came from the region where that dialect is being spoken. I used to sing that as lullaby when my wife went to Chicago and left our son and daughter with me and her parents. We are living in Canada right now and my kids are grown ups. This lullaby song is still with me. Lots of Filipinos will cry with this song. Me for one. Thanks GidKidDad for reacting on this.

I just discovered this group from your channel. I loooove their vibes and their voices.. Also, i'm still hoping you'd do an rv on Katrina Velarde & BuDaKhel's take on Mariah Carey/Boyz2Men's ONE SWEET DAY. I think you will appreciate their talents too.
Here I am again, takking about how great Alamat is. After SB19, ALAMAT, for me, is the next best Male P-Pop group. These guys are extremely talented. And they are very underrated, I hope one day that they get to shine. SB19 and 1st.One already have their billboard charts entries. I am very much looking forward for Alamat to be the third to give pride to P-Pop.
according to alamat's creative director : their mission is to spread appreciation of filipino culture first and foremost among filipinos and then globally thus their indicator for success is the degree by which fil culture becomes appreciated more than being no.1 in the billboard ( altho reaching this level.of course is to be proud of too)
Alamaaaat I am really waiting for them to have that big break. These boys deserve it!!! 👏🏼 I am a hardcore A'Tin, but I also root for these guys. ALAMAT, HANDA RAP!
wow i cant understand much but there is 6 or 7 dialect in this song, coz i hear my proud bicolanos dialect.... so proud who is he sang 😊❤ proud of you guys... more songs, more blessings in your band .... Big GoodLuck each ....❤😊😊😊😊
Thanks guys for reacting and thanks for appreciating all the vocals. Alamat did “an out of this world job” on the vocals for sure. ( and for them to incorporate all the different languages was amazing) I so so appreciate your reaction. Please please react to their new MV that’s coming out soon on March 9! The song is titled “Gayuma”. Salamat po and hope to hear more reactions to Alamat from you guys 🤎
10:08 Those keys you think are reminiscent of Black Eyed Peas is actually the keys of the said old lullaby "ili, ili". One of the members of BEP is Apl d Ap and he's Filipino. I don't know if they were also inspired by this lullaby...
I really love this song a lot because it refers to us mom's who is sacrificing to be far away from our family working abroad so that we can give them a better future.
just a trivia: alamat's ily ily is derived from a hiligaynon/ilonggo lullaby folk song "ili ili tulog anay" which is sung by a relative to a child while the mother is out buying the bread. i think "ily ily" is a word play of " i love you" and the "ili ili" lullaby. the meaning also expresses the societal issue of today's philippines, where, bcos of poverty, parents of a lot of children chose to go abroad to work and make money to provide for their families. i love this song, i am a new magiliw and this is my favorite of all their song, the music video is also very touching, and this song also convey the side of the story of the "overseas filipino worker" who endures being away of a loved one to work hard and earn money, a child who misses their parents, and the child's life that seems luxurious outside but completely unhappy bcos there is just a lot materialistic things and money can give.
thos song is beautiful, well written and with meaning plus crazy vocals.. filipino artists are on another level.. so sad many people like KPOP more than real talents like them..
I think the part where it sounded like a Christmas song was significant. Christmas is one of the most important celebrations for most Filipinos and for the OFWs or Overseas Filipino Workers (which the song is about), it may be a very hard time for them to be away from their families during this time of the year.
This song is for the parents who work abroad and for the kids who feel bad because they don’t have their parents beside them, the languages that they use is all different coz every member of alamat came from different provinces ( places) in the Philippines like thomas he is from same province like me which is bikol
There are rap songs in ph, created on top of ballad songs. This songs are played in public vehicles (jeepneys) with bass boosted it'll make your heart pound. Harmonies on top of rap does make sense. But what's interesting for Alamat is they incorporate culture with their concepts.
Amazing performance from the one and only Alamat! Thanks for reacting! They are one of the best in ppop scene and i think they need more recognition and support! So thank you for doing this video. 🙏🙌
Ily ily is like a traditional folk song /lullabye song here in the PH that they mixed with different genres to sound more current and I guess to educate kids today of the traditional folk songs here in the Philippines. Even my own kids will not recognize Ily ily because Im not sure if its still taught in modern Filipino subject now. But we used to know this in our generation 😆 So glad Alamat did this to showcase the PH culture and the beautiful languages in the PH. Thank you guys for reacting!
Re: the black-eyed peas in a minor key comment -- the notes played during the second rap sequence as a backtrack is actually the melody to the lullaby ily ily in pizzicato.
They are called LANGUAGES. Dialect is a variation of a language. Example, ENGLISH is a language. US English, Australian English, Philippine English etc are dialects of the English language. There would be some variations but not enough to not understand each other. Local example, ILOCANO is a language. Ilocos Ilocano, La Union Ilocano, Isabela Ilocano etc are dialects of the Ilocano language. The Ilocanos from these different provinces, they might have different intonations or minor differences in some words but they are still able to understand each other. These provinces are speaking the Ilocano dialect. On the contrary, if two person does not understand each other, then it is LANGUAGE. An Ilocano speaker would not be able to understand a Kapampangan speaker because they are totally different because they are LANGUAGES. SO ALAMAT IS SINGING 7 or MORE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, NOT DIALECTS, IN THEIR SONGS.
Thank you for reacting their ILY ILY wish bus performance, as a Magiliw(their Fandom name) and as a Filipino this song really hit us in a good way especially to those who's parents are OFW,.. Please react to their MAHARANI music video and to their other songs, these boys are all rounded and very unique..
The group distinguishes itself as a multilingual and multiethnic boy band that sings in seven Philippine languages: Tagalog, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Bikolano, and Waray-Waray.
Bring memories , i missss my family specially may sibling kona mga kapated ko huhuhuhu ili ili version nmin ang kinakanta ko pag sa province Habang dinuduyan ko mga kapated ko wala parents namin ako dkilang nagbabantay pangalawa ako sa walong magkakapated ang hirap😢😢😢😢 pero ngayun ok na
i hope you guys react again to ALAMAT with their lastest song "Dagundong" it means rumbling. they do more on rapping this time. and it's about the Philippine colonization. it is part of their latest Album 'IsaPuso'❤
Thank 's !!!but the girl who sang with them is one of our great young singer.please do to react also HER..LYCA GAIRANOD wish bus"KABILANG BUHAY"please Please!!
There's actually a movie for that where a "dying" person has to train their "clone" to replace them but if the dying person fails to die, they had to confront their clone on a duel to death because only one can claim the identity. It's called "DUAL" released back last year in 2022 if I'm not wrong.
Even linguists debate over dialect and language probably because before they classify these languages as dialects and so before that's what school books have. I think some linguists are still debating (with other languages classifications, not these on the video) just like in every comment section I saw for songs with various languages. Anyways, that's why, people are not just wrong wrong, but of course people have to relearn or learn new things too. Philippines have a lot of languages (plus dialects of that languages) and we are not even at the top 10. Papau New Guinea and Indonesia are at the top I think.
Tamuhh Alamat video explains the difference of Languages and Dialects - ua-cam.com/video/5CeeA6A4BCE/v-deo.html And people must remember that there was no Philippines before the Spaniards arrived. As a result, each chiefdom has its own language. And, since the Philippines has over 170 languages, we cannot form 170 if we consider the languages in the provinces to be dialects. There are various Tagalogs, e.g. Tagalog from Bulacan, Tagalog from Quezon, Tagalog from Batangas, Tagalog from Rizal, and Tagalog from Metro Manila. So Tagalog is the language, and dialects are these variations.
Alicia Keys's "Harlem's Nocturne" comes to mind. This group is very different from other PPOP groups. I hope the mainstream PPOP audience is ready for their sound cuz they're the reason why I converted from being a PPOP basher into a solid PPOP fan!
I'm a filipino, but most of their songs has lines that most filipinos don't understand. because they all came from different provinces in the Philippines that have their own dialects :) :) :)
Simple differentiation of dialects to languages. Language+dialect= can still understand each other. Language+Language= Cannot understand each other. Can Alamat members understand each other using their native tongue? No. The misconception of Tagalog as the Philippines language and the rest are just dialects is wrong and being corrected through Alamat as posted in one of their video with the guest SME.
@@julianbonues3495 well said.. the difference between language and dialect is not well taught in schools hence a lot of people use the terms interchangeably
Hindi DIALECT, LANGUAGE ang tama. Ang tagalog ng Bulacan, Tagalog ng Batangas, Tagalog ng Cavite are Tagalog DIALECTS kasi kahit iba iba ang intonations/accent and kahit meron variations ng ibang words gaya ng "ganire" for "ganito" in some Tagalog provinces ay nakakaintintdihan pa rin ang mga Tagalog speaking region , whereas ang Tagalog, Cebuano, ilocano, Hiligaynon, Pangasinan, Ibaloi, Ibanag, etc are LANGUAGES kasi hindi magkakaintindihan ng salita.
@@SB19_ALAMAT well yeah but its is still in the same Family, Visaya, Tagalog, Ilokano, Tausug ect...all the same family of Austornesian or Malayo Polynesian, they can understand certain cognate.
Kalito po ba Ang language at dialects? May subject po tayo under kto12 sa elementary (primary) MTB-MLE Yan po ang Mother Tongue-Based-MultiLINGUAL Education. Mother tongue na language po ang gamit sa instructions. And as a subject po. Sa Pilipinas po, we have 8 major LANGUAGES. Bikolano, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Pangasinan, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Tagalog, Waray. Kung Ppop group po sila pangalan po ng group Filipino at ang leader po ng group ay si Tagalog.😁 Siya po Ang hinirang na national language para sa Pilipinas. SKL.

Re: the black-eyed peas in a minor key comment -- the notes played during the second rap sequence as a backtrack is actually the melody to the lullaby ily ily in pizzicato.
LITRATO - Alamat x Thyro Alfaro (Tatak Thyro Performance)
One of my fave song of them
They are called LANGUAGES. Dialect is a variation of a language. Example, ENGLISH is a language. US English, Australian English, Philippine English etc are dialects of the English language. There would be some variations but not enough to not understand each other. Local example, ILOCANO is a language. Ilocos Ilocano, La Union Ilocano, Isabela Ilocano etc are dialects of the Ilocano language. The Ilocanos from these different provinces, they might have different intonations or minor differences in some words but they are still able to understand each other. These provinces are speaking the Ilocano dialect. On the contrary, if two person does not understand each other, then it is LANGUAGE. An Ilocano speaker would not be able to understand a Kapampangan speaker because they are totally different because they are LANGUAGES. SO ALAMAT IS SINGING 7 or MORE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, NOT DIALECTS, IN THEIR SONGS.
i just love ur RV Sir Josh😍 more from PH
oh my! i just realized that they used different dislects in one song. i heard capampangan. brilliant!!
Wow. first time hearing this song. and they all sing in their own dialects. wooow
They are NOT siinging in their DIALECT but in their LANGUAGE.
Own languages. Not dialects.

Thank you for reacting their ILY ILY wish bus performance, as a Magiliw(their Fandom name) and as a Filipino this song really hit us in a good way especially to those who's parents are OFW,.. Please react to their MAHARANI music video and to their other songs, these boys are all rounded and very unique..
The group distinguishes itself as a multilingual and multiethnic boy band that sings in seven Philippine languages: Tagalog, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Bikolano, and Waray-Waray.
Also an acronym for I Love You, I love You!
This song is a Filipino old lullaby it is a legend Filipino culture.revive and remixing.
I love Alamat!
Imo "Ily ily" is the Alamat classic. I notice their song concepts do very well when featured with a female artist.
AL🫶🏼MAT 🇵🇭

Hi! Have you done Alamat’s “Aswan’s”? It’s another one to check out!
i hope you guys react again to ALAMAT with their lastest song "Dagundong" it means rumbling. they do more on rapping this time. and it's about the Philippine colonization. it is part of their latest Album 'IsaPuso'❤
What a performance!!!
Lahi ra jud kaayo ang Alamat, gi-represent jud niya ang magkalain-lain nga pinulungan.
they used the song from the original Ily Ily song
it is like a lullaby
Actually, you're right. This song is like how BEP and Gloc-9 make a song together!
Thank 's !!!but the girl who sang with them is one of our great young singer.please do to react also HER..LYCA GAIRANOD wish bus"KABILANG BUHAY"please Please!!
I just wish you can also react to their rendition of Porque that was originally sang by Maldita.
wow my dialect waray waray was there love this first time hearing this song...wow
You might want to check the Official MV for this 😊🫶
You have to check all their previous songs. They're all greatttt
There's actually a movie for that where a "dying" person has to train their "clone" to replace them but if the dying person fails to die, they had to confront their clone on a duel to death because only one can claim the identity. It's called "DUAL" released back last year in 2022 if I'm not wrong.
Even linguists debate over dialect and language probably because before they classify these languages as dialects and so before that's what school books have.
I think some linguists are still debating (with other languages classifications, not these on the video) just like in every comment section I saw for songs with various languages.
Anyways, that's why, people are not just wrong wrong, but of course people have to relearn or learn new things too.
Philippines have a lot of languages (plus dialects of that languages) and we are not even at the top 10. Papau New Guinea and Indonesia are at the top I think.
Tamuhh

And people must remember that there was no Philippines before the Spaniards arrived. As a result, each chiefdom has its own language. And, since the Philippines has over 170 languages, we cannot form 170 if we consider the languages in the provinces to be dialects.
There are various Tagalogs, e.g. Tagalog from Bulacan, Tagalog from Quezon, Tagalog from Batangas, Tagalog from Rizal, and Tagalog from Metro Manila. So Tagalog is the language, and dialects are these variations.
Tomas is already 25 and Taneo the leader is almost 22 the youngest member is Jao
I like them next to SB19
Please react on their kasmala MV please. This group is amazing but a bit underrated.
Up favorite ko din yun
Actually the song is based on a famous lullaby
Alicia Keys's "Harlem's Nocturne" comes to mind. This group is very different from other PPOP groups. I hope the mainstream PPOP audience is ready for their sound cuz they're the reason why I converted from being a PPOP basher into a solid PPOP fan!
crazy.. wild... experimentation... vocals.. journey.. Yeah, they are talking about Alamat, alright
Thank u for this. Since you reacted this video, you should react Lyca Gairanod wish bus hahahah
more Alamat reviews pls
Hi lyca gairanod is the voice kid grand winner . Competing along with Darren espanto ...
Darren won as first runner up ..
They put all the music genres in a one song
Thank you for reacting Ily Ily
please react their HALA Studio performance so amazing 😍😍
Sa panaginip nalang by alamat hope ull react to it tnx.
Finally
A song that will make me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. I missed my parents.
8 years being away from my parents is so painful.
Ily ily is a local lullaby song in the philippines in different languages.
I suggest you watch Lyca’s audition (the Voice Philippines)
I'm a filipino, but most of their songs has lines that most filipinos don't understand. because they all came from different provinces in the Philippines that have their own dialects :) :) :)
Simple differentiation of dialects to languages.
Language+dialect= can still understand each other.
Language+Language= Cannot understand each other.
Can Alamat members understand each other using their native tongue? No.
The misconception of Tagalog as the Philippines language and the rest are just dialects is wrong and being corrected through Alamat as posted in one of their video with the guest SME.
@@julianbonues3495 well said.. the difference between language and dialect is not well taught in schools hence a lot of people use the terms interchangeably
@@julianbonues3495 indeed. They speak different languages not dialects.
Hindi DIALECT, LANGUAGE ang tama. Ang tagalog ng Bulacan, Tagalog ng Batangas, Tagalog ng Cavite are Tagalog DIALECTS kasi kahit iba iba ang intonations/accent and kahit meron variations ng ibang words gaya ng "ganire" for "ganito" in some Tagalog provinces ay nakakaintintdihan pa rin ang mga Tagalog speaking region , whereas ang Tagalog, Cebuano, ilocano, Hiligaynon, Pangasinan, Ibaloi, Ibanag, etc are LANGUAGES kasi hindi magkakaintindihan ng salita.
@@SB19_ALAMAT well yeah but its is still in the same Family, Visaya, Tagalog, Ilokano, Tausug ect...all the same family of Austornesian or Malayo Polynesian, they can understand certain cognate.
Please react to their HALA Dance performance
I love that one too waiting for the MV
Rainbow next by Michael Pangilinan. Must see!!! 🤩🤩👍🏻
LYCA Gairanod was the Grand Champion of THE VOICE KIDS PHILIPPINES SEASON 1, Thanks and God bless
Bohemian Rhapsody 🎶🎵🎸
You mentioned Black eyed peas. Not sure if you know that Apl de Ap is half Filipino and has been a judge for The Voice in the Philippines.
please watch their maharani mv! thank youuu
Kalito po ba Ang language at dialects?
May subject po tayo under kto12 sa elementary (primary) MTB-MLE Yan po ang Mother Tongue-Based-MultiLINGUAL Education. Mother tongue na language po ang gamit sa instructions. And as a subject po.
Sa Pilipinas po, we have 8 major LANGUAGES. Bikolano, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Pangasinan, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Tagalog, Waray.
Kung Ppop group po sila pangalan po ng group Filipino at ang leader po ng group ay si Tagalog.😁 Siya po Ang hinirang na national language para sa Pilipinas.
