MANILA, Philippines—It’s finally here! Beefing up their already-formidable body of work, multi-awarded and history-making Filipino boy group SB19 drops their latest single “GENTO,” giving fans a glimpse of what is to come for the group’s much awaited “PAGTATAG!” era.
The highly-anticipated and widely talked-about release of “GENTO” places SB19’s bold talent and confidence into the global spotlight, yet again, highlighting their strength and versatility as a group and unparalleled purveyor of modern Filipino pop. The song delivers a catchy word play, effortlessly weaving ganito (like this), ginto (gold), and gento, the Caviteño word for ganito, with a powerful message on their growth as a group, after years of refinement—just like gold.
For this single, SB19 draws inspiration from transformational change—how incremental and everyday acts lead to success and change. Often, it is the little, simplest acts that lead to triumphs.
