Edrey Riveri (director,creator) and member of the group chose Ogguere, a Yoruba word that means "soul of the earth", as a symbolic name.
In 1996 Edrey and Ulises started working with Pablo Herrera, Cuba's premier rap producer, who also happened to live in Santos Suarez, on Calle Zapote.
Deciding to disregard the lucrative reggaeton niche, Edrey’s idea was to use all the Cuban rhythms and create a fusion of Mambo, Son, Chachacha and mix them with funkier sounds, like the rumba.
They recorded their first album, Llena de Amor El Mambo, which features contributions from legendary Cuban musicians such as Mayra Caridad Valdés, Aideè Milanés, Roberto Hernandez aka Robertòn(from Orquesta Los Van Van), Yulien Oviedo, Diana Fuentes, Oscar Valdèz, etc.
This record got the recognition from Cuban Award Academy “Cubadisco” in 2008, winning Rap-Fusion album of the year.
