The P-pop boy group is a six-member group formed by the Viva Artists Agency in collaboration with director Jason Paul Laxamana’s Ninuno Media in 2020.

It is also the country’s first multiethnic and multilingual act, with its members hailing from different parts of the Philippines.

ALAMAT is known for songs that illuminate Philippine culture like “Kbye” which is sung in seven local languages, “Kasmala” which went viral for its anti-colonialism concept, and “Aswang” that highlights a Filipino folkore character.
