Puerto Rico may be known for SALSA, but it's a new style of Hip Hop and Rap that may be putting it on the map.

Las Guanabanas are a rapping duo from southwestern Puerto Rico. Their style of Rap/HipHop begun in the eightees when they we're introduced to break dancing and MC'ing in the poverty stricken Barrios.

That prepared them for the ninetees which brought them the chance to record, just as hiphop was exploding in Puerto Rico. The First Track, nearly ten minutes long bluntly spoke of Drugs, Prostitution and included a ton of mature lyrics - Something that shocked their homeland.

Their radical style has since developed and matured - they have recorded with others in the Puerto Rican/Cubano HipHop scene and have made a name for themselves underground as a hard hitting hiphop duo.

Previous Featured Artists

Roger Troutman
Innovative funkster Roger Troutman was the master of the vocoder -- a keyboard synthesizer that created robotic-sounding vocals through the simultaneous use of a piano-like interface and a breath controller (breath tube), somewhat like a guitar talk box. What James Jamerson did for the bass, Jimi Hendrix for the guitar, and Stevie Wonder for the harmonica, Troutman did for the vocoder. As a member of Zapp, a band that included his brothers Larry, Lester, and Tony, and recording under the solo moniker of Roger, he helped define and give life to a difficult-to-play instrument that previously was used for gimmicky effects and, as played by others, was basically devoid of personality. With his winning smile and charming playfulness, Troutman was a favorite on stage and record. He'd often bring his vocoder along on radio interviews, treating the listeners to his amazing vocoder skills.
