Three Decades of South Florida Sound
Widely recognized as one half of South Florida’s trailblazing DJ duo, the Babalu Bad Boyz, DJ Rich Babalu brings more than 30 years of broadcast and club pedigree to the turntables. He currently serves as the Program Director and Morning Show Host on West Palm Beach’s YO 107.1 FM, following years as a staple voice on Miami’s Power 96 (WPOW) and resident mixer on Orlando’s 102 JAMZ (WJHM).
“South Florida knows how to party, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring that unmistakable energy directly to Molé Cantina every Saturday night,” said DJ Rich Babalu. “Our mission is simple: get the room moving from the minute you walk in and keep the party going strong until the lights come up. The vibe here is electric, and we’re going to give Wellington a Saturday night party that rivals anything you’ll find in South Beach.”
A New Era for Molé Cantina
The residency highlights an elevated nightlife and entertainment program under Molé Cantina’s ownership duo, Sia Hemmati and Executive Chef Daryn Garcia. Together, Hemmati and Garcia bring over 65 years of combined hospitality leadership and a track record managing more than $350 million in lifetime food and beverage revenue.
“I grew up in Palmetto Bay and recently moved to Wellington,” said co-owner and Executive Chef Daryn Garcia. “This community loves a great night out, but people shouldn’t have to drive down to Miami or Fort Lauderdale to find premier entertainment. You can experience an incredible party right here in your backyard. We look forward to delivering electric vibes and establishing Molé Cantina as Wellington’s premier Saturday destination, alongside our Happy Hour, brunch, and post-Polo events.”
