About this Event

"The Spanish-language raps of La Goony Chonga are hedonistic joy. The 26-year-old Miami MC, who now lives in Los Angeles, released her third LP, Dinero, this past September. The bass-heavy project sets reggaeton-inflected trap beats to lyrics about racking up dinero and dancing, mining inspiration from her past as a stripper in Miami and NYC clubs. The infectious hook of “Yo Trabajo,” the second track on Dinero, commands, over and over again, “Ponte a trabajar, dale, ponte a trabajar,” in her signature tone, an even timbre from which she rarely deviates.


La Goony Chonga doesn’t dance anymore; she’s busy taking care of her son, Mazi (who arrived a few months before Dinero dropped) and making music. Early fans may remember her as Twiggy Rasta Masta, the moniker she released music under with Miami rapper Bootychaaain; her first few projects, Santeria Pussy and Santeria Pussy 2, were recorded in English. Dinero represents a risky departure for the Cuban-American rapper, who decided to write the album in Spanish. The risk is paying off; this past November, Frank Ocean featured her "Tira Tira" on Blonded Radio, and this spring she’s headed to Primavera Sound Festival in Spain to perform alongside artists like Janelle Monae, Empress Of, and Goony’s idol, Puerto-Rican reggaeton legend Ivy Queen."
