Panteon Rococo

About

Panteon Rococo: more than just ska revivalists, they’re the soundtrack to a generation’s social awakening. Emerging from the vibrant, politically charged Mexico City music scene in the mid-90s, this ten-piece powerhouse forged a sound that's as infectious as it is conscious. Their music is a potent cocktail of ska, rock, reggae, punk, and traditional Latin rhythms, laced with incisive lyrics tackling social injustice, political corruption, and everyday struggles. Their breakthrough album, "A la Virgen de Guadalupe" (1999), catapulted them to national fame, with anthems like "La Carencia" becoming instant classics. Panteon Rococo's live performances are legendary, high-energy affairs that spark communal joy and critical reflection. They've shared stages with Manu Chao, Café Tacvba, and Ska-P, further solidifying their position as leading figures in Latin alternative music. Beyond the music, Panteon Rococo embodies a DIY ethos, managing much of their career independently. They are not just performers; they are activists and commentators, giving voice to the marginalized and inspiring social change through their art. Recent projects have seen them exploring new sonic territories while remaining true to their core values, proving that their relevance endures.
