ALAMAT

Origin / History:

ALAMAT was formed in 2005 by a group of Bulacenos in Meycauayan City, Bulacan, Philippines, and played cover versions of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) as well as their original compositions within the Northern, Central and Southern Luzon areas as well as gigs in the National Capital Region. The band’s original intent was show case their original compositions to the public at large by getting into gigs that promoted Original Pilipino Music.

Over the first four years as a band, ALAMAT has managed to gain a relevant amount of following but has yet to be noticed by a larger public. Alamat has however accepted that with enough growing pains and perseverance, their time to be heard will come.

By May of 2009, their original vocalist has left the band. ALAMAT searched for a new vocalist through the internet and found Dolreich Tonolete who tried out with the band and was immediately accepted to front for them. After days of practice, a project from Ginebra San Miguel came through and ALAMAT has since pursued their passion of playing music together.
