"Kisapmata" is a song written by Rico Blanco for the Filipino rock band Rivermaya. It was released as the lead single from their second album, Trip, in December 1995.
It was one of Rivermaya's songs on which the group's original frontman Bamboo Mañalac sings lead vocals, and was the first Rivermaya single after original guitarist Perf de Castro left.[citation needed] David Gonzales of Allmusic describes "Kisapmata" as "pleasant and tuneful", but "is less adventurous than much of the other material on Trip."[2]
