Alamat (band)

Alamat (Baybayin: ᜀᜎᜋᜆ᜔) is a Filipino boy group formed in 2020 by Viva Artist Agency and Ninuno Media, consisting of six members: Taneo, Mo, Jao, Tomas, R-Ji and Alas. The band debuted with nine members but was later trimmed down to six. Kin departed the group in late March 2021 due to personal reasons, followed by Valfer and Gami, who also left in late March 2022. Formed through PWEDE: The National Boyband Search, 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.[1][2][3] After training for nine months, the group debuted on February 14, 2021 with their first single, "kbye."[4][5] Alamat currently holds the distinction of being the second P-pop group to make it on Billboard chart and the fastest-rising Pinoy act on the Billboard Next Big Sound chart, debuting at #2.[6][7]
