Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Mixing elements from punk, hardcore, metal, alternative, and a little bit of salsa music, Criado a Mano brings a different and original sound to their audience. We are a nu-metal band that, althought our music is aggresive and heavy, has melody and texture. It's this peculiar style that has made of Criado a Mano one of the hottest band in the Puerto Rican rock scene.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We have played live in a huge number of pubs and clubs around Puerto Rico. We live to play live, that's our drug. Everytime we go out there we give the audience 110% of what we got and leave the people asking for more. We have shared stage with such great puertorican bands as: La Secta, Taba Co., and Algarete.
