UP-AND-COMING rock band in the Philippines Dilaw has made another music comeback this year, this time, releasing their first-ever full-length album, “RARARA.”
“RARARA,” a play on the Filipino word “tara,” which means “let’s go,” consists of 10 tracks that narrate the six-piece act’s journey through the ups and downs of life, perseverance, growth, and finding strength in the pursuit of happiness.
Released on September 5, the album features Dilaw’s pre-release singles: “FLYING KISS” and “BLACK N’ WHITE,” which first became available on music streaming platforms on May 16 and August 8, 2025, respectively.
“FLYING KISS” is a heartbreak anthem that expresses a peaceful farewell to a special someone, while “BLACK N’ WHITE” narrates how a person can bring vibrancy to one’s life.
Other songs in Dilaw’s debut album are “ALL IN,” “SEYP,” “LAMYERDA,” “!” “IKAW AT AKO AY,” “H.O.Y (HANG OVER YOU),” “RARARA,” and “AMISTAD.”
Dilaw has also shared an official music video for “RARARA,” a song that invites listeners to embark on adventures and enjoy life. The four-minute clip features band members on a cozy road trip.
To celebrate this milestone, the band held an album launch concert at Soundcheck Studios in Pasig City on Saturday.
About Dilaw
Dilaw, short for “‘di ilaw sa gabing mapanglaw,” was formed in Baguio in 2021. The band is composed of Vie Dela Rosa, Dilaw Obero, Leon Karlos Altomonte, En Altomonte, Tobi Samson, and Wayne Dela Rosa.
They are behind the hit songs “Uhaw (Tayong Lahat),” “Janice,” “Orasa,” and “Nilalang.”
In 2023, the Original Pinoy Music (OPM) band dropped their debut extended play (EP), “Sansinukob.”
The EP included “3019,” a thought-provoking and timely track that tackled corruption and injustices within the Philippine government. The song’s title referenced the Republic Act (RA) No. 3019, or the “Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.”
This year, the rock band also completed their Love Trilogy series with the release of “Mahal” in January.
Dilaw was also part of Spotify RADAR Philippines 2025 artists, along with nine other Filipino talents who have been making waves in the local music industry.
