Background

Puya formed in Puerto Rico as a progressive rock combo under the name Whisker Biscuit in 1991. Upon relocating to Florida, the band changed its name to Puya, after a popular type of coffee.

The band's self-titled debut album was released in 1995 by Noiz Boiz Records. A subsequent Billboard review identified the band as being unsigned as of 1996. The band's lineup on this album consisted of guitarist Ramon Ortiz and bassist Harold Hopkins Miranda. Following the release of the album, Sergio Curbelo became the band's lead singer in 1996.

Reception

The album received favorable notice from Billboard which described the band as "unpredictably compelling", and the song "Bembele" as containing "amazing leaps from percolating Afro-Caribbean rock to crunching thrash to syncopated blues-laced rock"
