yano

yano is a folk/punk rock band in the philippines formed in 1993 .
the band members were originally composed of vocalist dong abay and eric gancio on guitar .
onie badiang later joined them as bassist ; nowie favila was the usual drummer but declined to join the group due to commitments with ang grupong pendong .
other drummers of the band included nonong timbalopez , harley alarcon and jun nogoy .
the band got their name when abay looked through an entry in '' `` talahulugang pilipino '' '' , an old tagalog dictionary .
`` yano '' in tagalog means `` simple '' , a term often used by tagalog speakers in quezon .
the group disbanded in 1997 after dong abay left the band .
in 2007 , gancio revived yano as a one-man band , although he continued to use sidemen as backing musicians for live performances .
in later years , gancio while performing vocals and lead guitars is accompanied by jr madarang on bass and ronald madarang on drums .
in 2013 , yano released a 4th album titled `` talâ '' -lrb- star -rrb- .
