Sie7e – This performer sang in Peñuelas on 2011, without knowing that he would end up winning a “Best New Artist Award” the same year. His style combines rock, pop and blues with tropical sounds such as salsa, batucada and reggae. His lyrics are full of social awareness, humor, irony and love.
Milly Quezada – This Dominican singer is very close to Puerto Ricans, as she married here and became a mom in the island.

About Peñuelas
Peñuelas is a small town located in the South of Puerto Rico. It is known as the “Flamboyant Valley” due to the abundance of beautiful trees with red flowers called “flamboyanes”.
