Hello Listeners!

In this episode, we had the opportunity to have a conversation with Filipino folk-pop indie band Ben&Ben

Ben&Ben, formed by twin brothers Paolo and Miguel Benjamin Guico (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), initially called themselves the Benjamins. They later evolved into an ensemble, adding Poch Barretto (guitar), Keifer Cabugao (violin), Patricia Lasaten (keyboard), Toni Muñoz (percussion), Andrew de Pano (percussion), Agnes Reoma (bass), and Jam Villanueva (drums). Ben&Ben invites listeners on a journey of self-reflection with the release of their new single in 2024, "Comets,". It's a collaborative single from two countries and also marks Ben&Ben's venture into the Indonesian music industry, as they collaborate with Indonesian musician and producer Petra Sihombing on this single. "Comets" is an emotional song conveying the fleeting nature of relationships and breakups. Although the song reminisces about memories with mixed feelings of loss and contemplation, the experiences it brings offer hope and bright acceptance, regardless of the outcome. According to Paolo Benjamin and Miguel Benjamin, the songwriters behind "Comets," this pop-rock song is inspired by the many losses of people they've encountered in various parts of their lives over the past four years: farewells, the end of friendships, parting ways in their professional relationships.
