Bamboo's Long Journey To Solo Status 11/28/2011
 It must have been difficult for Filipino musician and vocalist Bamboo Manalac to adjust to his work environment every time a major career transition would happen. Like all transitions in the world, a break was necessary in between phases. He originally evolved from Rivermaya, his first band, but he almost came unto his own via his self-titled band. That most recent venture clearly was not enough to keep the rocker in creative mode. He's now gone solo after other rockers did (Rico Blanco and Champ of Hale). Bamboo himself revealed in an interview that he had to wait a long time to finally finish making his first solo venture as he had to be in the same wavelength with people that he had to work with. “I wanted to find a chemistry between the players that made me feel like we’ve been playing together as a band for years. So the process was longer than usual from my experience and we hit a snag or two along the way.” Quote and photo courtesy of PolyEast Records Read more about Bamboo Manalac. Comments05/10/2012 12:15
