Harana was an all-male vocal group from the Philippines. It was under ABS-CBN and Star Music. The group consisted of Joseph "Joey" Marco, Marlo Mortel, Michael "Khel" Pangilinan, and Bryan Santos.
Pre-debut
Star Music's head, Roxy Liquigan shared that initially it was Joseph Marco and Bryan Santos who inspired the formation of the boyband.
“Last year kasi, may nakita akong video sa party ni Arjo Atayde. May video na sumasayaw si Bryan at si Joseph Marco na parang nagbo-boy band. So nagkaroon ako ng idea when we talked kami sa buong Star Music. Meron tayo Gimme 5, ‘yung mga teeners. Ang wala sa industry natin ‘yung boy band na mga gwapo at nakakakanta at parang suave lang, Mr. Suave lang dating sa atin.” — he related.
“Last year, I saw one of this video in Arjo Atayde's party. In that video, Bryan is dancing and Joseph is having like a boy-band thing. So here comes this idea when we talked about things together with everyone in Star Music. We have Gimme 5, the teens. The thing we don't have in our industry is a boy band who are handsome and singers who have that Mr. Suave look in them.” — he related.
Michael came into the picture when Star Music was looking for an artist to sing Joven Tan's “Pare Mahal Mo Raw Ako,” an entry at the 2014 Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs. Marlo then completed the group when he finished shooting for hit daytime show, Be Careful with My Heart.[1][2]
2015–2018
ASAP launched their newest boy group called “Harana” with members Marco, Santos, Pangilinan, and Mortel with their carrier single, “Number One”. On ASAP Chillout, the boys serenaded their fans with their version of the 60's hit, "Baby I Need Your Loving".[3][4]
After Harana served as opening act in KZ Tandingan’s concert at the Music Museum on 17 April 2015, more gig offers poured in for the group. They performed their debut single “Number One” at the OPM Fresh press conference on April 28.[1][5]
They performed recently at the “Most Wanted” concert of Daniel Padilla at the SM Mall Of Asia Arena last June 13, 2015.[6] On October 16, they had their first concert at the Music Museum.[7]
Harana disbanded in 2018. Marco has since focused on his acting career.[8] Mortel became a host on several television shows.[9] Pangilinan has continued his career in the music industry, with his song "Alipin" charting on Billboard Philippines' Hot 100.[10]
