About the band/artist

HijA is soul…

Get funked up with a jive that is clear and refreshing.
Reiman Gesmundo plucks unpredictable rifts and strums his guitar like a playful boy.

Touch the bassline and go with the groove.
Ronald “Roni” Paguta makes bobbing heads bob some more when he hits a ticklish nerve with his bass guitar.

Hija begins with a beat.
Nelson Gonzales starts off with a snare…or a…high hat. Unassumingly hitting the toms like a naughty drummer.

Hija is vibe.
William “Wowie” Ansano is the standing wave vibration when he emotionally blows on his trumpet.

Hija is vintage brass.
Allan Capistrano smokes up a pack and brings out the "saxyness" with his saxophone.

Hija is character.
Heart.
Mind.
Body.
Soul.
Francesca Arnaldo is the arousing voice of Hija.

HijA is here…for your listening pleasure.
Indulge.
Give in.

The Art of Letting Go-I wish you well, HIJA

Our music has been all about SOUL...
although...after two years of being with five boys and me being the Unica Hija, I felt the need to move on.

It was a blast being with this band. I shared my friends, my family, my HEART and my SOUL with them.

It was fun while it lasted...I feel my purpose is done. Now I have to grow up some more and move on with my being an artist...discover more of what I can do as a performer...be with people who can appreciate my efforts... and meet new mentors who will… Continue
