In September 2008, the band broke up. According to Monchy, the break up was Alexandra's decision.
The Caribbean sound of bachata blended with a touch of romanticism. It is the perfect combination to showcase the interpretive abilities of the duo known as Monchy y Alexandra. This young duo hailing from the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean is at the forefront in bringing the world the music known as bachata.
History
This history making duo is made up of Ramon E. Rijo, better known as Monchy, and Alexandra Cabrera. Rijo was born September 19, 1977. From an early age he studied piano, guitar and singing. He was destined to become a success in the music industry. He first performed in a group in the Dominican Republic; this earned him a place in the recording of the Bachatazos series of releases. This success set the wheels in motion for him to find a partner for the follow-up release to come.
The feminine side of this duo belongs to Alexandra Cabrera, born October 19, 1978 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She always loved to entertain her family even as a young child, interpreting well known songs that were both classics yet sang in a popular style that displayed her talented voice and distinctive styling. She attended a university in 1998, but her studies were put on hold when the opportunity arose to audition for arranger/producer Martires De Leon and executive producer Victor Reyes, who were looking for someone to pair with Monchy. Alexandra won and began the duo that would become Monchy & Alexandra.
Today this duo has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide of the releases Hoja En blanco, Unplugged, Confesiones, and the mix album. In their short career, Monchy & Alexandra have been recognized by some of the most prestigious organizations of the music business. They have been nominated for Billboard Latin Music Awards, Premios Cassandra, Premios Lo Nuestro and a Latin Grammy. This duo, in a short time, has made its impact on the Latin music world and continues to set the standard for bachata world-wide.
In 2003, the duo received its first major awards, "Tropical Album of the Year, Duo or Group" (for Confesiones) and "Tropical Airplay Song of the Year, Duo or Group" (for "Te Quiero Igual Que Ayer") from the Billboard Latin Music Awards. The pair also won the Tropical Album of the Year award for Éxitos y Más (Hits and More) and the Tropical Song of the Year prize for "No Es Una Novela" (It's Not a Novela at the 2007 Premios Lo Nuestro ceremony.[1]
Monchy y Alexandra has maintained the feeling of romantic bachata with slight influences of other rhythms such as Antillean music, rock, and Arabian music, as well as authentic folkloric rhythms of their homeland, the Dominican Republic. In their own words, "Our objective is secure, to provide music with a positive message to our generation and at the same time expand Bachata to places where it is not yet known."[citation needed]
The duo recently performed with Salvadoran singer Alvaro Torres, He Venido A Pedirte Perdon, on an album contributing to Mexican singer, Juan Gabriel.

Vamos juntos a vivir amor una eternidad
Alexandra:
No te volveré a perder seré tuya hasta al final
Alexandra:
Reproche con rabia mi corazón cuando te marchaste
En que tu besaste ha..ah
Apasionadamente me robaste la inocensia ha..ah
Quise disfrazarme pensando que todo fue ilusión
Como loca anduve por encontrar a tu susesor
Sin un rumbo fijo
Fui presa facil de otros cariños valiendose de mi tristeza
Pero fue imposible encontrar tu calor
Me marcaste con tus huellas
La verdad no me arrepiento
Que me tienes que decir?
Monchy:
Te diré mi amor me lleve este cargo aqui en la conciencia
A otro lugar me tuve que ir
Por temor a herirte y que no sufrieras
Mejor calle, tambien me sentí infeliz
Te juro amor mi escudo fueron tus "te quieros"
Otra no lleno tu espacio
Soportar estar sin ti fue un cruel tormento
Trabajando estuve para darte vida
La casita de tus ensueños

Monchy:
Vamos juntos a vivir amor una eternidad

Vamos juntos a vivir amor una eternidad
No te volveré a perder seré tuyo hasta al final
Alexandra:
Contigo voy a vivir amor de la infancia
No te volveré a perder seré tuya hasta al final
Hasta el final
Hasta el final
Tu Monchy y yo Alexandra
Monchy:
Las campanas de la iglesia
Comenzaron ya su canto
Nuestra espera no fue en vano
Alexandra:
Y este miedo fastidioso
Salio de mi corazón
Verte de nuevo es bendición

The song "Hasta el fin" by Monchy and Alexandra is a beautiful love ballad about two people who fell in love when they were children, and after being separated for many years, they finally reunite and decide to spend the rest of their lives together. The lyrics speak of the pain of being apart, the longing to be together, and the joy and relief of finally being reunited.
In the first part of the song, Alexandra expresses her anger and sadness at Monchy for leaving her and breaking her heart. She recalls the time when they were children and he kissed her passionately and took her innocence. She then describes how she tried to forget him and move on, but could not find anyone who could replace him. She asks him what he has to say about all this.
Monchy then responds by confessing that he also suffered greatly during their separation, and that he always carried the weight of his decision to leave her. He explains that he did it because he was afraid of hurting her and did not want her to suffer. He tells her that he loves her and that he worked hard to build a life for them while they were apart.
The chorus of the song repeats the main theme, which is that they will love each other until the end of time and that they will never be separated again. The final verse speaks of the church bells ringing and the couple's joy at finally being reunited.
Overall, "Hasta el fin" is a romantic and passionate love song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever been separated from someone they love and longed to be reunited with them.

Hasta El Fin (Until The End)
Monchy:
Let’s live love together an eternity
Alexandra:
I won’t lose you, I’ll be yours until the end
Alexandra:
I gave angry reproaches to my heart when you left
I was the girl
That you kissed in this school
You passionately took my innocence away
I wanted to disguise myself thinking all was just an illusion
I went to find your successor like a crazy girl
Without a fixed course
I got easily attached to others who took advantage of my sadness
But it was impossible to find your warmth
You marked me with the steps you took
To tell the truth, I don’t regret
What can you say to me about this?
Monchy:
I’d tell you my love took this burden to my conscience
I had to run away to another place
Because I was afraid not to hurt you and so you won’t suffer
A better way, but I also was unhappy
I swear, my love, my shield were your “I love you” ’s
Another girl won’t fill your empty space
Being without you was a cruel torment
I worked to give you the life
The house of your dreams
Chorus
Monchy:
Let’s live love together an eternity
I won’t lose you, I’ll be yours until the end

With you I’ll live the childish love
I won’t lose you, I’ll be yours until the end
Monchy:
Let’s live love together an eternity
I won’t lose you, I’ll be yours until the end
Alexandra:
With you I’ll live the childish love
I won’t lose you, I’ll be yours until the end
..until the end… until the end…
Monchy:
The bells of the church
Already started singing
Our wait wasn’t in vain
Alexandra:
And this annoying fear
Left my heart
Seeing you again is a blessing
