MOJIGANGA
Hardcore / Punk / Ska
MOJIGANGA is a ska-core band from Medelln, Colombia. Founded in 1995, its original members are Miguel (drums), Guillo (guitar and vocals), Juan (Bass) and Mauro (sax). Later Daniel (trompet) and Natalia (sax) joined the band. The music is a blend of different rhythms, specially ska and punk; the lyrics are aimed at satire and free criticism. In 1997our first work was released: "De Las No Alpacas". The raw sound of this one was improved later in 1997 with "Estpidas Guerras" and our positioning in the underground movement in Colombia was granted.
In 1999 our third album was released: "Sealados". It was very well received and more than the five thousand copies were sold. "Sealados" was nominated to the national "Shock" awards for the best cover of the year and it was number one in the tops of local radio stations in Colombia. The album was then distributed to Mexico and Argentina as well.
Three years later, we recorded our most recent and punk-rock album: "No Estamos Solos", having Ryan Greene as a producer who has already worked with famous bands as NOFX and RANCID.
We have toured the main cities in Colombia, Ecuador ( the "Impetu Festival, 2004") and United States. We played festivals as "Rock al Parque" 2003, Colombia, when we had a positive review by the Rolling Stone magazine and were nominated in the Shock awards as the best Ska band of 2004. We have played with international bands as The Offspring, Molotov, Animal, 2 Minutes, La Mosca y Cafe Tacuva and have been released in international anthologies of the gander as "Punk Skaol 3" by Aztlan Records, and "Mutante Vol 1" by Mutante Records.
Our goal is to belong to the world underground movement with our Colombian background reflected in our lyrics with themes that range social protest and everyday life. We also want to promote internationally our latest CD "No Estamos Solos", recorded at MOTOR STUDIOS, San Francisco, Cal. with Ryan Greene as producer; and with our two new guitar players, Anibal and Rogelio; we want to finish our most recent work which will be released this year.
