Puya (band)

[3] In 1992, the band added vocalist Sergio Curbelo and moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where they created a mix of salsa and heavy metal with the assistance of Jeff Renza and the Noiz Boiz production studio.

In 2009, Puya reunited and performed in front of over 12,000 fans at Stereo Music Fest at the Puerto Rico Convention Center.

The band has since continued on with a lighter touring schedule, focusing primarily on "special shows" like Cuba’s Patria Grande Festival in 2014.

[10][11] Puya's music is defined by placing emphasis on heavy guitar grooves and percussive Latin rhythms, punctuated by big band horns, with composed melodies that lead into instrumental improvisation.

[1] Puya was influenced by Pantera,[6] Rush,[1] Fania All-Stars,[6] Fishbone,[6] Metallica,[6] Black Sabbath,[6] Van Halen[6] and Sepultura.
