Filipinos can’t live without music and melodies. Broadcast network NET25 caters to this passion through its thirteen year-old musical crown jewel, Letters and Music.
The show draws on Pinoys’ deep and shared love for good tunes using a format that offers a mix of karaoke-style singing numbers, Artist of the Day segments and features on trending musical styles.
The program has steadily evolved in its thirteen years. It used to heavily feature big names in OPM but has recently shifted to being an effective lauching pad for new acts and artists such as Six70, Franz Rojas, 6ense and other emerging local talents.
Fully respectful to its OPM roots, Letters and Music has featured heavyweights such as Aegis, Marco Sison, Roselle Nava, Barbie Almalbis, Kyla and Moira dela Torre, among many other, in earlier shows.
Realizing the current viewing and listening trends among tech-aware Pinoys who mostly stay connected to the Internet, the show has made a focused migration to YouTube and the NET25 online portal through the posting of easily-clickable musical clips. The move is an effective choose-your-own way for the audience to enjoy their preferred OPM genre — from oldies-style ballads to current perky P-Pop tunes.
For those who have ditched their radios and tv for newer technology, the dedicated Letters and Music YouTube channel is an easily navigable way to enjoy tunes even on smaller smartphone or mobile gadget screens. The NET25 portal meanwhile provides the added bonus of access to network news and entertainment on top of music videos.
Letter and Music’s longevity of more than a decade is proof of NET25’s unwavering commitment and support for local talent.
Music of course is best heard and experienced. Give Letters and Music a try and be hooked again on our unique, world-class Pinoy music.
