Right from the start, the band has shown their protest nature which lead the band to reflect social issues in their lyrics. Most of their songs look at immigration, social inequality and the conflict of interests that look down on human being. In 2002 the band began to play in Barcelona: the streets, the bars, the tube and the suburban trains were their first stages. The band was first noticed internationally through their contribution SIN PAPELES on the sampler LA COLIFATA, which represents the mestizo scene of Barcelona.
They dedicated their debut TRIPPI TOWN (2003) to the Plaza del Trippi (George Orwell Square), the place where they met. The album is a product of many different musical influences: a journey through reggae, ragga, punk-latin and argentinian folklore. A subsequent tour followed through Europe (France, Belgium, Italy, Spain). Lots of shows and lots of friends from all over the world… a great influence for their second album: ALERTA BIHOTZA!!! (2005)
It is a multicultural album that takes the listener to the reggae-punk energy the band irradiates in their live shows. For the production, the band enlisted Gambeat, Radio Bemba's bassist, who is the responsible both for the harder sound and for the elaboration of their extreme energetic live show. The album also counts on some special guests appearances: Fermin Muguruza (Kortatu, Negu Gorriak), Yacine (Cheb Balowski, Nour), Dede Trake (Cannabistro), Gambeat (Radio Bemba, French Lovers, Piratas Urbanos) and Lina (Azaiza).
More than 2 years and 300 gigs... A tour through Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Italy, Spain, France, Holland and Argentina... Now, CHE SUDAKA comes back with MIRANDO EL MUNDO AL REVÉS (2007), a new acoustic cd which is released together with a dvd including a documentary about the band, an interview and some other extra files. The album features some special friends appearances: Amparo Sánchez (Amparanoïa), Un Kuartito and Karamelo Santo (both bands from Argentina).
As when they played in the streets of Barcelona, their positive energy and the willingness to give it all to the audience are the most remarkable attributes of CHE SUDAKA.

Che Sudaka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que no me deja volar
Dinosaurio solo piensa en el poder
Y la gente sometida que no puede responder
Mientras dinosaurio solo piensa en el poder
Sobrepasa la barrera del respeto pa'joder
TORTURA PSICOLÓGICA
La mentira
Con la sangre
Es lo que nos dan
TORTURA PSICOLÓGICA
La pobreza
Con sus guerras
Con la muerte
Es lo que nos dan
USTED
Una mas una menos otra vida que mas da
Con el verso que te cuentan ganara lo material
Tortura psicológica
Locura cerebral
Tortura psicológica

The lyrics of Che Sudaka's song Usted are about the struggles that people face due to the oppressive political powers. The song emphasizes how the political system cruelly manipulates its people through psychological torture, lies, and poverty. The lyrics mention a "dinosaurio" or a dinosaur-like creature, which is a metaphor for the monstrous and oppressive political figure that fuels its power by oppressing the people. The dinosaur only thinks about maintaining power and carelessly treads over the people's rights and individuality, making it impossible for them to dream and fly.
The chorus mentions the phrase "TORTURA PSICOLÓGICA" or psychological torture, which is what the people in the song are subjected to. The verses talk about how the political system keeps the people from reaching their full potential by providing them with false aspirations of materialism while hiding their true intentions of greed and manipulation. The overall tone of the song is rebellious and empowering, urging the people to stand up against the corrupt system.
