Boyfriends (Filipino band)

Boyfriends is a musical group from the Philippines. Their heyday was in the 1978 as one of the most prominent bands of the Manila sound, with pop and disco harmonies reminiscent of the Bee Gees. Several of their recordings are among the most popular Tagalog and English songs of the Philippines from the late 1970s and early 1980s, and have since been covered by a number of the Philippines' most popular singers, among others. Drummer Art (Artie) Ilacad, who was later executive producer at OctoArts Films, founded by his brother Orly, died from heart surgery complications on July 30, 2023.
