Who is Kaligta?

Drummer John Michael Dino, singer Michael Artita, bass guitarist Sherman Tupas and lead guitarist Arnold Artita collectively known as Kaligta believe so. Saying that though they expected the worst in joining the most recent Nescafe Soundskool tilt, they hoped for the best.

Asked about their name, Artita said it’s short for “kaligtasan.” “We thought of shortening it to ‘kaligta’ so it comes across as if the last part of the word was forgotten. They say in psychology that the more you want to forget something, the more it sticks to your head. We hope it works here,” said Michael. It probably will in their case, considering their history for making it against the odds. According to lead vocalist Artita, he didn’t even know how to sing just
a few years ago (“I was off key all the time,” he confessed, smiling). As for the rest of the band members, they taught themselves how to play their instruments primarily for the music ministry at church.

The band doesn’t have big dreams. They say that more than selling CDs, holding big shows and clinching number one songs on the charts, they’d be happy touching people’s hearts with their songs.

“It’s the same when we made it to the finals of Soundskool. All of us fasted not so much because we were asking Him to let us win, but for our songs to make a difference in those who hear it.
