Ayayayayay is a studio album by Filipino folk singer Popong Landero and the Davao-based folk band Bagong Lumad, released in 1987[2][3] by the Development Education Media Services (DEMS) Foundation.[4][5] The group's founder, Joey Ayala, stepped back from his regular role as the band's vocalist to allow Landero the opportunity to be the lead singer in a recording, and instead Ayala positioned himself as an instrumentalist and musical director for the album.[4][5][6] Recorded using four-track equipment, 14 of the album's 16 songs are in Filipino, with the remaining two ("Bisan Pa" and "Bugsay") recorded in Cebuano.[4] The title track "Ayayayayay" was originally written in Cebuano for the band's foray into musical theater, Sinalimba, in 1986.[5][7]
Ayayayayay received positive reviews from critics such as Lav Diaz, who praised the group's musicality and the album's "raw" quality and integrity.
