ABOUT THE BAND:
Year 2005 marked the dawn of the musical journey for UNO. Call it mix and match or trial and error but the band like many others, experienced shuffles and switches among its members. Until late November of the same year, Bill Abarquez, Bastiene Dedel, Roger Caballero and Toying Fernandez forged a musical union and became the geniuses behind UNO. Paul Canada further solidified the group with his entry last March 2006.
Despite varied musical influences, bands and genre of interest among band members (Bastiene was from Bajuyo's Shrub, an old school reggae band, Bill from Zoso, a classic rock band, Roger performs with his church choir and Paul stars in different groups like Frank!, CDMC, Zubu among others) this did not hinder UNO from coming up with a music which they defined as something more inclined to British Rock, with lyrics which people can relate as they talk about social realities. Bill, the band's songwriter, claims it doesn't dwell much on romantic love although all of their songs reflect the member's real life experiences.
And as UNO takes you quietly into the music room, brace yourself; expect a magical journey on your very first step.
