BisRock refers to the Cebuano rock music industry. The term comes from the Cebuano words Bisaya (‘our own’) and ‘rock’ (for rock music).

The term was coined by Januar E. Yap, a Cebuano writer, in 2002. It was first applied to Missing Filemon’s first album.

A jukebox musical is a stage or film musical that uses previously released popular songs as its musical score. Usually the songs have in common a connection with a particular popular musician or group — because they were either written by, or for, the artists in question, or at least covered by them.

The songs are contextualized into a dramatic plot: often the biographical story of the performer(s) whose music is featured, although in some cases the plot does not revolve around the particular group at all.

Although jukebox musicals had achieved success for years (for instance Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story, the musical about the life of Buddy Holly which ran in the West End for 13 years from 1989 to 2003), their recent surge in popularity was led by the success of Mamma Mia!, built around the music of ABBA.
