The repertoire & performance is tailored to the ages in attendance, whether a wide range like 20-65, mostly thirty-somethings, or even an all ages family event. HOJA is the perfect choice if you have a wide age range as few other entertainers can appeal to such a variety of tastes.

Traditional Acappella - including acappella standards like Lion Sleeps Tonight, Coney Island Baby, Stand By Me, Brown Eyed Girl

Modern Acappella - including beat-boxing & imitating instruments. Many people cannot believe the full band sound created by just three singers
using only their voices, and they even demonstrate to your guests how to do a few of the sounds for themselves!

Great harmonies, energetic choreography, comedic delivery, and a diverse selection of repertoire are presented in HOJA’s uniquely entertaining, interactive, and engaging modern acappella style. All of the sounds in their live show and on their recordings are created using only their voices. Each of the members sings a variety of different voice parts, including bass lines, lead vocals, tenor and baritone parts, vocal percussion, instrument sounds such as guitars and trumpets, and assorted sound effects. Their songs span every style of music, from doo-wop to rock, country to disco.

Client Reviews

  • ‘People say that the entertainment you book either makes or breaks your party/gathering. With that said, I would absolutely have to say that HOJA made our event. The high energy and camaraderie that these three guys have is incredible. They played a wide variety of songs that appealed to all. We clapped, hooted and hollered, and had a barrel of laughs with them.’ – D. Lacoste, NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology), Edmonton, AB
  • ‘With such a diverse audience it can be difficult to please all in attendance; however, by the end of their performance HOJA had everyone in the audience engaged, clapping, and even singing along to their songs! The gentlemen from HOJA were a pleasure to work with, and went out of their way to ensure the crowd they were entertaining would enjoy what they had to offer.’ – C. Wright, AREVA Resources, Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum
