Cambio is a Filipino rock group founded in 2003. The band is composed of former Eheads members Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and 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 an abbreviated "Eheads" by adding singer-guitarist Kris Gorra (from the indie punk girl group, Fatal Posporos. After just a few months, Marcus Adoro left the Eheads as well to indulge in his hobby-sport, surfing, and to pursue his own musical project, Markus Highway.

Despite their setbacks, Zabala, Marasigan and Gorra (later, Gorra-Dancel, upon marrying Vin Dancel from Twisted Halo) decided to continue on, with the addition of Ebe Dancel (Kris Gorra-Dancel's brother-in-law) from Sugarfree and Diego Mapa from Monsterbot; consequently forming Cambio.

Cambio became known for songs identified with Pinoy pop culture, such as "DV" (about Divisoria, a sub-district in Manila popular for bargain-hunting), and "Call Center" (about Business Process Outsourcing employment in the Philippines).
