Puerto Rican five-piece rock act Vivanativa was formed in 1997 by ex-Zyron and Maskin Tape singer/guitarist Javier Gómez and former Ricky Martin's guitar player Nabeel Abdulrahman. That same year, the band released a self-titled album, mixing Latin rock, funk, and jazz fusion, which was followed by 1999's Viejo. The group consolidated its popularity while performing at San Juan's Roberto Clemente Coliseum on December 22, 2000. ~ Drago Bonacich
