The JB Band of Jagna, Bohol
« on: July 10, 2007, 02:08:28 AM »
By Joe Sprite
Jagna-based Writer, Bohol Sunday Post

Sometime ago, we had been lamenting that the musical talents of Jagna had been neglected. The Jagna Band if one may call them that, did not merit any support except those who make it a part time career. However, there is another group that is making waves in the Metro Manila circuit and that is the JB Band. This blew into town just recently and performed in the College of the Miraculous Medal quadrangle.

The band made a side trip to Jagna while on contract with the organizers of Sandugo celebration in Tagbilaran City . It is no surprise why the JB Band hit Jagna. The JB Music Studio and Management own the JB Band. The JB is the first letters of the nicknames Joe and Becky and Boholano couple who made it good in Manila . Joe is Joseph Rañola of Poblacion; Jagna while Becky is Rebecca Salitrero of Tagbilaran City .

It is surprising that Joe would be involved in a musical career like owning and running a music studio. His only exposure to music was the practice notes on the clarinet of his grand uncle Pedro Cuarto, a member of the old Jagna Band. However Nong Pedro lived in Canupao while Joe grew up in Poblacion. Neither could it be in the genes because Nong Pedro was the husband of his grand aunt, therefore his relationship with the musician was by affinity rather than by consanguinity. As far as we know of Becky, we could not identify any musician in he immediate family. Perhaps there is but we are not aware of him. However, Becky provided a firm backup of the enterprise and without her, Joe could not properly function.

The JB Band made itself known in the Metro manila circuit. It had made concerts during an Octoherfest at MYC and a major concert in the Captains Bar. Jack Daniels, the renowned Bourbon Whisky bottler commissioned the JB Band to conduct as promotional tour. In that our, they had performed in Ratsky, Hardrock, Strumms, and Aruba among others, those are favorite watering holes in five star hotels. Their repertoire ranges from soul music – music with Afro American airs, swing, jazz, cha cha – the dance, dummy, not charter change, they are apolitical -, raggae, slow and fast dance numbers. The vocalists can belt out blues.

Joe, a Jagnaanon expat is partial to fellow Jagnaanons and Boholanos with talent. His bandleader is Boy Cabalit. He had been in Kobe , Japan as a musician. His career took him to Indonesia , Thailand . Caribbean and English luxury cruises. The drummer is Alao Alcala. His 17 years as a professional drummer took him to places like Bahrain , Oman , china and the US . His keyboardist, organist if you like, is Sammy Miñosa. He too had been in celebrity bands in Japan , Singapore and Indonesia besides

The lead guitarist is Mike Agcaoile. As a former member of the Groove band, he had traveled with them to Japan , Singapore and Korea . The trumpeter/flutist is JM Perillo. He is the one with music education having finished his Music Education degree in the University of Sto Tomas while being a member of the UST Symphony Band and Orchestra. The percussionist is Dondon Pangindian. He too has been with bands that toured the Far East . The saxophonist is Cletus Caido. a licensed ECE, he was pirated from BOHECO II because of his talent.

The vocalists all of them with foreign stints are Snaffu Rigor, also a composer, Dondon Mejia, Efren Montes, J Ann Talisic and Niña Grabato, also the choreographer and floor director. We knew of a Grabato once, a vivacious girl who took up computer programming in one of the premier IBM training centers. Her name was Niñan C. Grabato of Cagayan de Oro. It is unlikely but if she were the one, we would not reveal the year. It would show our age.

The JB Band must be something. It was able to gather the various talents. It lured our Boboy as Cletus is known in Jagna from a steady job in BOHECO II. Joe mentioned a certain Daguplo. He must be a recent member but we have not caught the first name. The band has also its own training and development center, which would produce future musicians. Perhaps, the band could be able to develop talented musicians in the locality. The Jagna Culture and Arts Committee might be able to do something with our aspiring musicians.

I saw The JB Band performed at Captain's Bar at Hotel Mandarin by personal invitation from Joseph, at Ayala Ave. Makati. I can say that this 10 member Band is one of the best all rounded musician from Bohol. I have CDs given to me by JR himself for promotion purposes and their resume.

I personally known Joseph Ranola, President of Jagna Association at BAMMI the most active officer/member and organizer of Miss BAMMI.

Kudos to The JB Band and Salute to Joseph and Becky very loving couple.

Joseph himself is a performing artist, a professional Ballet Dancer at CCP. He is also a Project  Consultant of Congressman Ayong Maliksi of Cavite.

Sa akong pangagpas, wala ma estimates ni JR ang income sa band kon sa Pinas ra ilang gig. Unya full ang ilang sweldo (P20,000 + a month ) 11 member sila.  Dili man gud permante ilang gig kay magsawa man gyud ang mga tawo. In fact, I was aproached to co-manage or market the band abroad. But I sense already nga hapit na to mabungkad.

I suggested to JR to to break up the band into four members each kasi yan lang ang uso sa abroad gumagamit lang ug sequencer (laptop) tungod kay tagsa na kaayo ang full band 6 member sa abroad. Unya eleven gud to ang member unya ang accomodation pa.

Ako sya gi ingnan nga sa China ang kusog kay tua karon ang mga Pilipino kasagaran. Mao among last kita ni JR, that was 3 years ago.

i think there is something wrong with the title that of this thread that confuses the readers.  JB band was not from Jagna, and it only happens that Joseph Ranola the manager/owner of this band was from this town.  However, there were two Jagna-anon who lately became a members of this band namely Cletus Boboy Caido and Junith Daguplo.

JB Band is not a Jagna-anon Band.
