Hotdog

Über Hotdog

Hotdog, the band led by brothers Rene and Dennis Garcia, invented the Manila Sound and gave Filipino pop its first true mass identity in the mid-1970s. Their breezy blend of soft rock, funk, and Taglish humor produced era-defining hits, and their anthem Manila became an unofficial love letter to the capital. Cheeky, tuneful, and unmistakably local, their songs remain touchstones of Filipino nostalgia.
