Tropical Depression was a Filipino reggae band formed in 1990
by vocalist Dominic "Papadom" Gamboa (1965-2013), guitarist Lito
Crisostomo, bassist Pexx Holigores, keyboardist TJ Espinola and Mike Llacar and
drummer and back-up vocalist Lala Lejeune. The group disbanded in 2013
following the death of original lead vocalist Papadom Gamboa. Gamboa died a day
before his 48th birthday. The wake of his burial was held private as per his
family's request. The cause of death was said to be due to kidney failure.
The band was one of the several bands who spearheaded the
1990s Pinoy rock explosion and popularized the songs Kapayapaan, Bilog Na Naman
Ang Buwan and Alaala.
