How Girl Group BINI Is Taking Filipino Music Global
BINI is taking the Philippines' P-pop global and earned the girl group an international following.
With a name inspired by the Filipino word binibini(which means “young lady”), the all-Filipino “Pinoy pop” ( P-pop) group — comprising leader Jhoanna and members Aiah, Stacey, Colet, Sheena, Maloi, Gwen and Mikha — was brought together by ABS-CBN’s Star Hunt Academy program and has spent the past four years since its debut making a name for itself. On social media today, BINI’s rapidly expanding and fervent fan base of BLOOMs is reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s Swifties, Beyoncé’s Beyhive and BTS’ ARMY. And they’re in it for the long haul — even if, when words like “legacy” get thrown around, it makes Aiah “feel like I’m 50 years old.” Stacey predicts BINI singles like “Pantropiko” and “Da Coconut Nut” will “stick around with anyone, no matter who you ask.”
