The group's name is taken from a popular Chilean sauce, literally translated as "pig in stone," made with tomatoes, onions, garlic, peppers, salt, cumin, and olive oil, often served in a stone bowl in the shape of a pig.

They are known for their unique sound and goofy style. In 1995 they released their first CD titled "Peor es mascar lauchas, roughly translated to "anything is better than nothing at all," a pre-emptive excuse for those who did not like the album. They actively participate in community-related events, playing benefits for the Chilean National Commission of Scientific and Technological Investigation. They are also known for musical contributions to the popular Chilean children's puppet show 31 Minutos.

Chancho en Piedra has released 11 albums since their debut in 1995, gaining them widespread familiarity, not only in Latin America but internationally as well, allowing them to perform at events such as the Memphis' Beale Street Music Festival in May of 2009.

Insolencio
Chancho En Piedra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No respeta ni al santo padre
No tiene amigos, polola ni compadres
Ni siquiera ha llorado al nacer
Sacar la madre, es lo mejor que sabe hacer

Soy insolencio y soy insoportable
Conchesumadre, ni yo mismo puedo
Aguantarme, caricias, ternuras

Nunca obtendran de mi, yo soy
Rebelde porque el mundo me hizo así

Me obligas a subir la voz, para
Que me puedas entender
El insolente eres tu

Hay abuelitos y hay viejos de mierda
Hay gente buena y gente repugnante
Mi respeto tienes que ganarlo
Pero no de esa forma arrogante

Y si tú te acercas, con
Mala intención, te arrepentirás de tu
Decision, porque insolencio
Sabe insultar, con solo una palabra
El te puede hacer callar

Y anular, derrotar
Destruir y arruinar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chancho en Piedra's song "Insolencio" depict a character who is rude, disrespectful, and unloved, with no friends or family to support him. He is aggressive and quick to insult others, with "sacar la madre" (verbally attacking someone's mother) being his best skill. The character identifies himself as "insolencio," someone who is insufferable and unable to be tamed by love or tenderness, because he was made that way by the world around him. He speaks out against those who act arrogantly and warns them that he is capable of destroying them with just a word.

The song's message is a commentary on the societal constructs that create individuals like "insolencio." It suggests that some people are born into circumstances that make them angry and aggressive, with no outlet for their frustrations other than lashing out at others. The lyrics paint a picture of the character as someone who has been pushed to the margins of society, rejecting the values of those who have rejected him. However, while the character sees himself as a rebel, the lyrics also suggest that his behavior is unacceptable and harmful.
