About Dakíla
Pioneering fusion Filipino-American band formed in the late 60s. Their sole album from 1972 is one of the hidden gems of the early Latin-Rock movement. Dakíla (a Filipino word meaning Greatness) emerged from the melting pot of musical fusions that originated in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 60s. Singing in Tagalog, Spanish, and English, Dakíla was the first Filipino-American band signed to a major label. Their album from 1972 combined their Filipino heritage with Latin Rock, psychedelia / acid-rock, and afro-funk. The result was an explosive, hot jamming sound full of congas/percussion and classic rock/funk sounds.
