November 8 ------ Is there a Grammy in the offing for Cup of Joe? Maybe. The history making band from the North has submitted its track “Sandali” to the Grammy selection committee to compete in the Best Asian Pop Performance category.

Sandali is the title track from Cup of Joe’s latest EP. The song is significant in the fact that it was composed by all the band members and has two meanings.

In Filipino, “sandali” can mean wait or just a sec or it can be a moment. “Sandali” can now become the Cup of Joe’s Grammy moment. And the wait and the hoping have now began for Joewahs everywhere. But no matter what happens, Grammy or no Grammy the most streamed act in Philippine pop music history has readied an important surprise to cap its phenomenal year.
