BOK76: From friendship to ‘Revelations’ in music
- Bands, Indie, OPM -
By Marjorie Gorospe
“Friendship is the secret why we’ve come up with good music,” Filipino rock band BOK76 says.
Calling each other “bok,” which means “brother,” the band’s members have been together for at least nine years – all in the name of music.
Also known as “Bonded on Kinship,” this Filipino band is composed of Erwin Bautista (vocals), Donini Montealegre (guitars/vocals), Jay Castelo (drums/percussion), Owee Nicolas Paz (bass) and Elwynn Dayrit (guitars).
Bautista and Montealegre have been together since grade school. The two had been “rivals” in many competitions but eventually they became friends.
