Yano
Yano is a Filipino folk/punk rock band formed in 1993. The band members were originally composed of Dong Abay on vocals and Eric Gancio on guitar. Onie Badiang later joined them to play bass. 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 group disbanded in 1997 after Abay left the band. Eric Gancio reformed Yano in 2007. In 2007, Eric Gancio revived Yano as a one-man band, although he contin ...
