From Quiz Carajo - Argentinian Band

Answer: Nu (new) Metal

Carajo was formed by singer-bassist Marcelo "Corvata" Corvalan, drummer Andres "Andy" Vilanova and guitarist Hernan "Tery" Langer. Argentina had its fair share of successful metal bands such as Rata Blanca, Hermetica, and V8 among others, but the genre was dwindling a bit in the late '90s. One of the leading bands of that time, A.N.I.M.A.L. (acronym of "Acosados Nuestros Indios Murieron Al Luchar", meaning "Harassed, Our Indians Died While Fighting"), of which Corvalan and Vilanova were part, had a few crossover songs that were sung in rapper style by Corvalan himself, but they never truly embraced the genre. When both departed the band, they recruited Langer and recorded their first demo, containing three songs with clear Nu Metal elements.
