Ska-P

The Profile

Ska-P are a Spanish ska‑punk band from Madrid, formed in 1994. Known for high‑energy shows and sharp left‑wing lyrics, they paused in 2005 and returned in 2008, releasing new music and touring widely across Europe and Latin America.

Formed in Vallecas (Madrid) in 1994; hiatus 2005–2008; known for songs like “Cannabis”, “El vals del obrero” and “Intifada”; lyrics address anti‑fascism, anti‑bullfighting, anti‑globalization and the death penalty; strong following in Europe and Latin America.

Seven reviews chart Ska-P’s rush from 90s ska to punk-charged protest anthems. Live, they’re a riot; on record, highlights span El vals del obrero, Planeta Eskoria and ¡¡Que corra la voz!!. Lagrimas y gozos is framed as a mature comeback. Themes hit hard: anti-bullfighting, anti-fascism, death penalty and global injustice.
