Acclaimed Pinoy pop group SB19 dropped their new music video “Gento”, a catchy wordplay from a Caviteño word, on YouTube on Friday, May 19.
“Gento” is a prerelease track for their upcoming new EP called “Pagtatag.” This will be their second EP after “Pagsibol” in 2021.
The music video revolves around the multiple meanings of the Filipino word in the title.
“Gento” is a Caviteño term that means “ganito,” which translates to “like this” in English. It also sounds like “ginto,” which translates to “gold” in English. Moreover, it is also a shortened version of the Tagalog term “ganito.”
Members Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken and Justin are mostly seen working hard as they mined for gold. They also delivered a powerful choreography in a large quarry.
“Gento”, therefore, delivers a powerful message of their growth as a group, after years of refinement—just like gold.
The word’s multiple meanings are also effortlessly and cleverly incorporated into the lyrics of the song. It is produced and written by the group’s leader Pablo.
So far, the music video garnered more than 224,000 views on YouTube.
SB19 also promoted the music video and the single on their social media accounts.
