Ben&Ben in Manila

Ben&Ben is a Filipino folk-pop band formed in 2017 around twin singer-songwriters Paolo and Miguel Guico. The group is known for songs including “Kathang Isip,” “Pagtingin,” “Leaves” and “Maybe the Night,” as well as the albums Limasawa Street and Pebble House, Vol. 1: Kuwaderno. Ben&Ben held a send-off concert at the CCP Open Grounds in 2022 before dates on their first North American tour. The Homecoming Concert followed later that year at the SMDC Festival Grounds, giving the band another large outdoor headline show near its home base. The group performs as a nine-piece band built around the Guico brothers’ shared vocals and acoustic guitars. Its arrangements also feature electric guitar, bass, keyboards, violin, drums and percussion. Ben&Ben plays most often in the Philippines and has also taken its concerts to the United States and Canada.
