Yano was a folk/ punk rock band in the Philippines. The band members were originally composed of Dong Abay on vocals and Eric Gancio on guitars. It was formed in the early 1990s during their college days in the University of the Philippines. Onie Badiang later joined them as the bassist.1 History
The band’s debut album, Yano reached quadruple platinum in 1994. After producing three studio albums, Abay quit during the late 1990s because of too much pressure of their fame. The group was later disbanded after Abay’s absence.
After quitting the band, Abay struggled with clinical depression and stayed only in his bedroom for about five years. He came out of the depression while writing new songs set into poetry. He later called Badiang to borrow a guitar and jam. Eventually they formed a new band, which they called Pan and released their debut album entitled Parnaso Ng Payaso in 2003.
Gancio returned to his homeland in Davao after the demise of Yano. In 2004, he released an EP for his upcoming solo album Sa Bandang Huli. Gancio did all the instruments in his indie-released album and mixing the music in a PC-based software.
