[edit] The band

The group's lyrics are known for commenting on Venezuela's and Latin America's politics and society.

With echoes of the British 2 Tone movement's big bang still within earshot, Desorden Público's ska sound embraces different languages and colors symbolizing defiance, racial and social tolerance.

As the longest running ska band in Latin America, it its start in 1985 in their native Caracas, where they not only learned the lessons of 2 Tone and Jamaican ska, but also incorporated the sounds and instrumentation of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, coupled with an emerging social conscience that informed their lyrics. This intoxicating combination birthed a unique style and sound, which cemented their reputation as leaders of the genre, both in and out of their homeland.

With a dozen or so releases to their name, platinum sales, various number 1s and Top Ten hits, and numerous tours that have taken them all over Latin America, North America and Europe, Desorden Publico has proven themselves to be a successful ska band.
