Yahuba: In the language of the Puerto Rican ancestors, the Taino Indians, Yahuba means ‘music’ or a ‘strong musical scream’.

The Boston-born Puerto Rican Conga sensation has been lighting up the Boston music scene with so many different bands, it is hard to keep track. He has recently been seen on stage with Percy Hill, Blacksnake, Jen Kearney & The Lost Onion, The Boston Horns, Assembly of Dust &, The Ryan Montbleau Band, just to name a handful. This list only keeps getting longer as more Boston musicians hear and see him play.

As an educator he has been visiting schools, speaking and performing in front of children of all ages about his Puerto Rican culture, music and heritage. Yahuba is also a private percussion instructor in the Boston area.

As a musician, Yahuba knows no boundaries, he embraces every style of music as if it was his own, and is true to the craft of showmanship. One only needs to see the charismatic joy he delivers while through his music to understand how he got his name
