Black Guayaba, often spelled Black:Guayaba, is a Grammy-winning Puerto Rican rock band that was formed in 2000.

Band History

Black Guayaba is formed by Gustavo González (vocalist), Javier Morales (guitar), Carlos Ortíz (bass), Carlos Colón (keyboards), and Gabriel Calero (drums). They originally began playing at local pubs and other private activities before dedicating time to prepare original material for their first album. They released "Lo Demás es Plástico" in 2005, which was mixed by Bob St. John, who had previously worked with Ricky Martin, Duran Duran, Collective Soul, among others. [ [http://www.univision.com/uv/music/1792551/Black:Guayaba/biografia;jsessionid=3PYIY1JDWSJ0ACWIAAOCFFIKZAAB0IWC Biografia de Black:Guayaba - Univision.com ] ] [ [http://www.pulsorock.com/noticias/noticias_t.php?id=560 PulsoRock.com - Noticias ] ] Their second full-scale concert took place August 23, 2008 at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente---- their first appearance in Puerto Rico's premiere and high-capacity concert hall. An otherwise exciting performance was briefly marred by the producer unexpectedly charging IVU (sales tax) on complimentary tickets, which delayed the entry of dozens of fans.

"Lo Demás es Plástico"spawned several hit singles like "Lejos", "Atrapado", and "Despacio". With the success they received the opportunity to be the opening act of bands like Enanitos Verdes and Journey during their concerts in the island. In March 2006, they had their first concert held at the Luis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center. That same year they were nominated for a Latin Grammy as well as a Grammy.

In 2007, the band released their second album titled "No Hay Espacio". The first single of the album is called "Ayer". In February 2008, they won their first Grammy in the category of Latin Rock/Alternative Album.
