Puerto Rican Music

We featured D-Cent Jerks back in November 2008. Here’s another video from the Puerto Rican punk rock band entitled Dead and Buried.

Cojoba is a hardcore/punk band formed in August 1995 in Carolina, Puerto Rico. The original line-up was Taína- vocals; Javier- bass; and Gilbert- guitar. Back then, the band did not have a drummer, it had a drum machine instead, which Javier programmed. The band is currently writing new songs and planning more tours.
