Similar to Brooklyn's harder-edged Candiria, Puya offer a taste of everything, and, while sometimes the sound is only a collection of disparate influences, tracks such as "Si Aja" successfully combine polyrhythms with thick guitars.
The "original fusion" of Puya is a more organic and infectious kind of mish-mosh than the cut-and-paste songwriting of bands such as Static-X.
Puya is as refreshing as they were when I first heard "Fundamental".

 Review - Puya: Union   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Puya's new CD, Union, still has sounds as heavy as the rock of Gibralter, with guitars riffing away while tuned down ala Tony Iommi and drums pounding relentlessly, but right in the middle of this blast furnace there will be a parting of branches and fronds revealing an island path.
There are times that the Latin music plays long enough to lull the listener into forgetting this is Puya and that if they kick back too close to the speakers they're gonna get hurt.
This is definitely an English language album, so the radio programmers have no excuses this time, except the usual "we're just plain too lame to program any peg that doesn't fit in one of these three or four prefabricated holes" bit.

 Puya live at Universalbuzz.com!!!
Singer Sergio Curbelo supplies the sore-headed, raw-throated vox to Puya’s livid hybrid of Latin and Altmetal and the resulting chaos is proof that all Metal did not rust out of existence the minute “Nevermind” hit MTV.
After hooking up with MCA Records at the Billboard Latin Music Conference in Miami Beach in 1999, Puya’s first effort, “Fundamental”, is a caustic eruption of ditties such as the Afro-Cubano-flavored title cut, the brassy Hard Rock Funk of “Montate”, and the drum-driven ‘ode to Home, “Oasis”.
Nailing a spot on 2000’s Ozzfest line-up and giggling with childhood heroes like Slayer, Puya have set up shop far from the bleached La La Land that other Pretty Boy Latino newcomers are stranded in.

 Recording review: Cafe tacuba and Puya   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Puerto Rico's Puya mixes Latin rhythms with a heavy-metal/rap sound reminiscent of Limp Bizkit or Korn.
The transitions segue surprisingly well, but it is hard to imagine that there are a lot of listeners who want Korn in their salsa.
As young Latinos come to embrace both the hip-swaying music of their parents and the head-banging tunes they've claimed for themselves, Puya will no doubt be at the crest of a growing wave.
