Union is the third studio album by Puerto Rican progressive metal band Puya, released by MCA, in 2001.

Background

Union draws from diverse genres, including salsa,[3][4] progressive metal,[1] rap[5] and jazz.[3] Jazz and mambo musician Tito Puente agreed to record a timbale solo on Unión, but died before he could do so.[3] Because sales did not meet MCA's expectations, the label did not renew the bands contract after it had expired in 2002.[3]
