Kuerdas

**Kuerdas** is a Filipino band hailing from General Santos City, known for their laid-back fusion of OPM (Original Pilipino Music), reggae, and alternative rock vibes. With roots stretching back to the early 2010s, they’ve carved out a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh, often weaving themes of love, resilience, and everyday Filipino life into their tracks. Their music carries a strong sense of community, reflected in hometown-inspired tracks like *Kuyaw Ka, Dadiangas*—a shoutout to their city’s local nickname—and *Bugsay Ta Bay*, which uses the Visayan word for “paddle” as a metaphor for collective effort.

Recent releases like *Pandemyang Panahon* and *Sunsets With You* showcase their knack for blending relatable storytelling with breezy grooves, while *Hintay* and *Kahit Na* highlight their romantic, acoustic-driven side. Though they’ve stayed grounded in their grassroots origins, Kuerdas has built a loyal following for their authentic, down-to-earth charm and their knack for turning local flavors into universal anthems.
