Caramelos de Cianuro is a Latin rock band from Venezuela. The band was formed in 1991, and recorded their first songs, "Nadando a Traves De la Galaxia" (Swinging Across the Galaxy) and "Tu Mama Te Va a Pegar", in 1992. A year later, the group signed up to CNR and released an EP called Las Paticas de la Abuela, followed by the band's first album, Cuentos Para Adultos, in 1994. Performing a mixture of Latin ska and pop rock, Caramelos de Cianuro returned in 1996 with Harakiri City, released by Polygram. Two years later, original drummer Pablo Martínez was replaced by Alfonso Tosta, and the group soon toured along with Colombian band Aterciopelados. In 2001, Caramelos de Cianuro's Miss Mujerzuela achieved platinum status in Venezuela.

In 2002, Caramelos de Cianuro released their album called Frisbee, which featured "El Último Polvo", a song where its subject sought one last night of sex from his estranged girlfriend. In 2005, Luis Barrios left the band and Pável Tejo joined the band's line up shortly afterwards. In 2006 they released their most recent album, Flor De Fuego, (Flower of Fire) with Como Serpiente (Like Snake) being promoted as the lead off single.
