Kinito Mendez has been working in music since the 80s as one of the co-founders of the merengue band La Cocoband, along with Alfonzo "Pochy Familia" Vásquez and Bobby Rafael. Mendez wrote and arranged many of La Cocoband's songs, including "La Manito", "El Boche", "El Cacu" and "Mujer Malvada". Mendez later decided to leave and start his own project in early 1992 with Bobby Rafael which was "Rokabanda", who won Orquesta Revelación del Año in Los Premios Cassandra in 1993.
With Rokabanda, Mendez produced "El Bacano", "El Ñoñito" and "los hombres maduro". In 1995, Mendez released his solo album "El Hombre Merengue", which sold 1.5 million copies.
