		It is safe to say that Punta Rock was born in the late 70’s in Belize through an experimental process led by Pen Cayetano and the Turtle Shell Band.

	Rock
		Rock and roll (also spelled rock 'n' roll, especially in its first decade), is a genre of music that emerged as a defined musical style in the American South in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world.
		From the late 1950s to the late 1990s rock was perhaps the most popular form of music in the western world.
		As a result, "rock and roll" now has two distinct meanings: either traditional rock and roll in the 1950s style, or later rock and even pop music which may be very far from traditional rock and roll.
