This band is influenced by a number of styles such grunge, heavy metal, progressive metal, thrash, etc. Led by the karate dark belted and self-taught bassist, Fanny Tachin. Their album, with EGREM (Cuban Disc House), "The Chosen One" is recognised as being extremely well produced, and the video clip of the same named hit single won 4 Lucas Awards (big national, annual video-clip contest).
It has been one of the few rock bands able to record a disc with a Cuban label (EGREM) as in Cuba what people like the most is salsa music. But, their best letter of introduction is their scenic projection based on ten years of hard work and experience.
According to opinion polls and statistical surveys applied by the TV program “Cuerda Viva” in teamwork with the radio program “Sabarock”, HIPNOSIS is the Cuban most popular rock band.
HIPNOSIS have been playing in almost the entire country in different rock festivals all over the country, some of them are: Caimán Rock (International, Havana City), Ciudad Metal (Santa Clara), Metal HG (Holguín), Pinarock and Rey Metal (Pinar del Río), Atenas (Matanzas), Hojalata Fanzines Meeting (Sancti Spíritus), Fusion Music Festival “Piña Colada” (Ciego de Ávila), among others. They shared unforgettable experiences in an intimate meeting with the members of SEPULTURA, in a small concert with other 3 renowned bands of the island, where these legends of Metal expressed their best opinions and were very impressed of the quality of the Cuban Scene.
HIPNOSIS has share stage with many other bands of other countries; it would be very difficult to remember every single one of them.
