Kaya Green Band

KAYA Green Band got its name from the word “kaya”. Kaya is a word with many meanings. In Tagalog it translates as ”we can”. In Pali, the ancient language spoken during the lifetime of Sidharta Gotama (Buddha), it meant ”body”. It’s also the name of a song and album title from Bob Marley. Most appealingly, in the ancient Filipino language (Alibatha), it means “susi ng kapatiran” or “key to brother/sisterhood”. It’s meaning is as diverse as the members of the band:
