Founded in 2002, the 6-piece Filipino collective that pioneered the “Rockestra” signature reimagined pop’s core framework by weaving the lush, nuanced textures of classical string instruments like cello and violin into the standard foundation of rock band instrumentation, a creative choice that cemented their status as one of the most influential acts to emerge from the Philippines’ modern music scene. Over their two decades as a working band, they have built a robust discography that spans standalone singles, one EP entitled Kahimanawari, and four full-length studio albums: Fuschiang Pag-ibig, Mistaken For Granted, Monodramatic, and Langit Luha. These releases have spawned a string of chart-topping hits that have become staples of local cultural memory, including Ikaw Lamang, Pasensya Ka Na, Kundiman, Hiling, and Bumalik Ka Na Sa’kin.
