You know that's what I don't understand about Filipino musicians. You go to the best night clubs in China, Japan, Korea, S.E. Asia and inevitably the house band will be a Filipino cover band and they are really, really good. There's just so much musical talent in the Philippines it's amazing. Arnel Pineda's discovery by Journey was no accident. Yet they don't seem to be able to put together a Pinoy band that writes and produces its own hit songs.

Yes it means buffalo in Tagalog. They are a controversial band in Thailand as their songs can be highly political and critical of the government. They actually formed the band in the Phillipines back in the 80s. This is probably their best known song.

Yes, that I know at least.

Are they a Filipino or Thai band? Obviously they were singing in Thai.

Well he should look particularly annoying to a white supremacist racist from Mississippi like you. He's had it permed into an afro.

They are Thai but the founder members went to the Philippines to study and that's how they met. From Wiki.

Carabao (Thai: คาราบาว) is a Thai rock band that is very popular in Thailand and other Asian countries.[1] The group was formed in 1981 by university students Yuenyong Opakul (Aed) and Kirati Promsaka Na Sakon Nakhon (Keo or Khiao) who met while studying at Mapúa Institute of Technology in the Philippines. The word carabao means "buffalo", a symbol of fighting, hard work, and patience.
