 ABOUT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
KADENA is an Asian American / all-Filipino punk rock band that plays straight forward politically-charged punk rock in both english and Filipino (Tagalog-derived) languages.
KADENA is Filipino word for "chains" (also in Spanish spelled with a "c"; the "Tagalog" word is "tanikala"), symbolizing repression, oppression and bondage.
Since then, Kadena has been actively performing to a predominantly Asian-American crowd doing mostly benefit shows, festivals and political events that most of the time they help organize themselves with issues ranging from human rights to women's issues to military intervention, imperialist globalization, to "ousting" a president of the Philippines and others.
