Union is the third album by Puerto Rican rock band Puya, released by MCA, in 2001.
[edit] Background
Union fuses elements of salsa,[2][3] rap metal, Rock en Español and jazz.[2] Jazz and mambo musician Tito Puente agreed to record a timbale solo on Unión, but died before he could do so.[2] Because sales did not meet MCA's expectations, the label did not renew the bands contract after it had expired in 2002.[2]
