Cultura Tres, the project featuring Sepultura bassist Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr., have teamed up with Juanes for a new song titled “Cien.” The track, which can be streamed below, is “rooted in themes of environmental loss, particularly the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.”
Paulo commented:
“It’s a pleasure to share a song with Juanes, not only a legend of Latin music, but also a true heavy metal fan.”
Juanes continued:
“Man! It’s been a pleasure to make this song with you. Since my teenage years, metal has been a part of my essence, and having the opportunity to record the solo and sing has been amazing.”
Frontman Alejandro Montoya also chimed in:
“Juanes is an incredible metal guitarist — when we first heard his solo on ‘Cien’, it blew us away.”
Paulo added:
“Blending metal and Latin music in one of our native languages (Spanish), helps showcase the power and potential of South American metal!”
