Cambio is a Filipino rock group active from 2003. The band is composed of former Eheads members Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, Kris Gorra-Dancel with Ebe Dancel and Diego Mapa.
History
When Ely Buendia left the Eraserheads sometime in 2002, remaining members Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raimund Marasigan decided to continue as Eheads by adding singer-guitarist Kris Gorra (from the indie all-girl pop-punk band, Fatal Posporos and, later, Duster). After just a few months, Marcus Adoro left the group as well to pursue a passion for surfing and for his own musical undertaking, Markus Highway. Zabala, Marasigan and Gorra (later, Gorra-Dancel, having married Vin Dancel of Peryodiko) decided to continue on, adding Ebe Dancel (Kris Gorra-Dancel's brother-in-law) of Sugarfree and Diego Mapa (of Monsterbot and Pedicab); consequently forming Cambio.
Cambio became known for songs about Pinoy Pop Culture, such as "DV" (about Divisoria, a sub-district in Manila which popular for bargain goods) and "Call Center" (about Business Process Outsourcing employment in the Philippines.
