Bamboo Essentials

Buoyed by expressive guitar and bright percussion, Filipino rock band Bamboo takes no shortcuts when it comes to its songwriting.

Thanks to its inspired blend of sounds, audiences caught on without delay, showering the group with accolades and Platinum sales during the course of their career.
