Mohobub

Making the most of humble beginnings, Mohobub began playing percussion at an early age and established himself as a musician in the rapidly evolving Dangriga music scene in Belize. He joined punta rock creator Pen Cayetano in the first Turtle Shell Band in the late '70s and became the band's first official turtle shell player.
The band gained an increasingly large following as Belize, caught up in the pre-independence nationalist fervor, became more appreciative of homegrown roots music.

In the early '90s, Mohobub began a solo career, often singing as a special guest in various bands and continually touring. During this time, he experimented with various beats and honed his own distinctive sound, which is a reflection of his Rastafarian beliefs combined with a strong sense of Garifuna culture.

This conscious approach to music has resulted in a more laid-back, less aggressive interpretation of punta rock, a sound which has been described as having a touch of Latin flavor added to Garifuna roots and influenced by reggae.
