While most artists categorize their music to a
specific genre, MoHiGanGa breaks all the rules. The
duo, Rafy Contigo & Jonny Guira, extends their
creativity in a plethora of music that ranges from
Merengue, to Reggaeton, to R&B/Hip-Hop. Born in
Washington Heights (Alto Manhattan), New York, first
cousins Rafael Antonio Calderón, Jr. and Jonathan
Mendoza always had a passion for music. At a young age
they were part of a Dominican dancing troupe, Centro
Cultural Ballet Quisqueya, which was established by
their aunt, Normandía Maldonado in 1966. They
performed at local auditoriums and Hispanic Day
parades/events in the city. After moving to Miami,
Florida in the mid 90's they were part of a Spanish
hip hop group called the City Boys. In 2002, they were
introduced to Carlos Restrepo, an aspiring rapper from
Fort Lauderdale, Florida who founded 1Life©
Entertainment. The three became roommates while
attending college in Tallahassee, Florida and the rest
is history.
Today, MoHiGanGa is working on their debut album with
1Life© Entertainment, LLC which will feature production
from Dash and Justincredible. Blending the styles of
the North and the South, influenced by Dominican music
and inspired by the Reggaeton movement, MoHiGanGa is
determined to bring a new flavor to the industry that
will set them apart. Their unique sound can be heard
on their first single, "Beso Robado," which is
quickly creating a buzz in South Florida
