Did they just straight up rip a YLO album, put in the occasional "bahs" and called it a day?

Really helpful in trying to define the impetus of OPM to follow. Keyword is “Manila sound”

Also, try “Musika at Bagong Lipunan” by Raul Navarro. Text is in Tagalog though… it’s about music in the context of the Marcos Dictatorship, 1972 to 1986.

Sorry, it’s “Tugtugan Pamorningan”

“Tunogan Pamorningan” by Susan Claire Agbayani, UP Press — collection of writings and reviews of OPM from the 70s to 90s
