Callalily (pronounced as Cala-lily) is actually a new pop alternative band. Composed of Kean Cipriano on vocals; Aaron Paul Ricafrente on bass; Tatsi Jamnaque on guitars and Lemuel Belaro on drums These guys are new additions to the energetic band scene that blossomed after a couple of years in doldrums. The band got its start when Kean met Tatsi in highschool and became bandmates. No, they didn't get their name from a flower. Kean and Tatsi joined a Battle of the Bands but their band has yet to have a name. Satisfying his hunger with bread in a bakery after a rehearsal, Kean liked the bread so much he asked the vendor of its name. "Callalily," he was told and the rest as we say is history. It was only later that they came to know its true meaning.
When they entered college luck started knocking on their door when Tatsi closed a gig at popular bar Mayric's.However, there was only Kean and Tatsi at that time. To fill in the void, Kean got his college friend Aaron as bassist. Alden and Lemuel were taken in as guitarist and drummer respectively through an audition. Their first gig at Mayric's elicited early admiration from a few people. Little did they know that it will be the shape of things to come. Band manager Darwin Hernandez took notice of the band when they performed alongside 6cyclemind during an event. He immediately got Callalily to his fold .Soon more gigs are followed.
And now after seven fruitful years in the recording industry, Pinoy rock band Callalily remains to be one of the country’s foremost acts, and the band has all the reason to be thankful. The band’s gratitude is lovingly expressed in their newest single “Pasasalamat“, which will be part of their soon-to-be-released first album under Universal Records.
