Guajiro (Pronounced "War Hero" in Gringo...), are a Hialeah Florida based rock band, comprised of exilios from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Long Beach. Each member comes to the table with a dream of recreating the music they left behind in their former projects, such as Slapshot, Speak 714, and Friction Wheel. A combination of Classic Rock, '77 English punk, and 80's Latin Rock, Guajiro hopes to bring back the energy and soul that has been lost to major label executive influence and heavy handed pro-tool production. Guajiro's aspirations are to create creditable albums that will stand the test of time and build a loyal fan base that are looking for honest, straight to the point, no bullshit music. They do songs in English, Spanish and in most cases "Espanglish", a combo of both.

Con presentaciones con los grandes de la musica punk rock como Rancid y Flogging Molly, Guajiro continua su trajectoria exitosa atraves de ambos mundos de el Rock anglo y sus raizes latinas. El grupo con su inimitable “rock en espanglish” acaba de grabar un disco con el conocido productor de Punk, Darrian Rundall, cuyos creditos incluye Pennywise, Suicidal Tendencies, Yellowcard, Veruca Salt y muchos mas. En el nuevo disco “Material Subversivo” (el titulo apropiado de un oficial Cubano que nego la entrada de el primero disco a la Isla de Cuba y lo declaró “material subversivo”), Guajiro continua la exploracion de temas pertinentes a su experiencia bilingual en los Estados Unidos. El disco refleja la dualidad ideologica e musical de la banda, que consiste de miembros Cubanos, Bajista-cantante Jorge Gonzalez-Graupera y guitarrista-cantante Will Lopez, guitarrista Puerto Riqueño David Santos y baterista Irlandes Douglas Mackinnon. Con musicos invitados tan diverso como el trecero Julio Martinez (Albita, Compay Segundo) y el bajista Randy Bradburry (Pennywise), el disco es un puente musical entre las culturas Estado Uniense y Latina Americana. Ahora, los verás en Rally, por MTV. Que el punk rock te conduzca. www.guajiromusic.com
