Panteón Rococó is a Mexican ska/Reggae band from Mexico City. Despite flourishing black markets, they sold thousands of records. While being stars in Mexico, they have been touring Europe during the last several years in a row, especially Germany, where their European Label "Übersee Records" is located.

Musical style and lyrics

Panteón Rococó blends several styles of popular music such as rock, punk, salsa, cumbia, mariachi, reggae, ska, and also mestizo-music into a very energetic, groovy sound. As they are very political people and sympazise with the EZLN in Chiapas, some of their lyrics contain political statements, but many of them are love-songs.
