About this Song
Rooted in the Philippines’ vibrant, rapidly evolving independent pop circuit, the sound Anino emerges from the creative evolution of UDD, the Manila-based electronic trio that first built their loyal local fanbase under the former name Up Dharma Down, with core members Paul Yap, Carlos Tañada, and Ean Mayor steering every step of the group’s creative journey. Mark Coles of BBC Radio once dubbed the act “the Manila band most likely to cross over to the lucrative Anglophone market of North America,” a prescient assessment that foreshadowed the widespread global success they would go on to build, as they’ve racked up over 300 million streams on Spotify to date, their audience expanding far beyond the Southeast Asian archipelago that first nurtured their work.
