"Our band name is a conjoined word— 'Sans' meaning not or the lack of and 'Sette' meaning seven in our local dialect, Bisaya. The thought was that it wasn’t just the seven of us that were making the music, we had our producer and all the people in our lives directly and indirectly contributing to the music that we were making. So it wasn’t just the seven of us hence, 'sans-sette'. Although it’s pronounced as sunset,” explained band member Peter Cambonga.

“After our album launch last July, we originally planned to rest and relax for a while. However, opportunities one after the other opened up to us and we just can't say no to things like these. What can we say, the show must go on,” admitted Peter.

In their official social media page, the band describes Santa Fe as “an album consisting a series of stories that happened in the season. Some memories that you can't just forget, especially in special moments that happened during your time in vacation. May it be love, longingness, homesickness, and so many more. Stay tuned this Friday to get the whole cebuano summer tunes in your playlist.”
