Their energy is amazing: along with touring the world, they also managed to record a new album: „Antena Patchamama“ goes back to the roots, a very Ska-Punk focused album, of course with the typical dash of Reggae and lots of latinamerican Fiesta flavour! After last years’ successful festival performances all over Europe (Southside / Hurricane / Greenfield Festival (GER, CH), ZMF (GER), Rock for People (CZ), Esperanzah (BE), Parkpop (NL) amongst others...) KARAMELO SANTO are well prepared to seduce the audience with their high-quality crossover ramble through musical genres and present their new and rocking album “ANTENA PACHAMAMA”. Be prepared as well for a performance, that has it all: from a wild and furious rockshow through relaxed Reggaetunes to sweet Latin grooves!

Karamelo Santo was born in Mendoza / Argentina in 1993 and ever since then developed their own unique musical style. They achieved to gather around them a fanatic crowd of fans from all over the world, ever more since they successfully toured in Europe with "Los Guachos" in 2002. This milestone marked the beginning of a long and deep relationship of the band with the “old continent”, that every year challenges the most established cultural barriers and has permitted them to become one of the best-known representatives of Latin American music in Europe

Don Caramelo presente
con Karamelo Santo

Han matado un niño
han matado en la cuadra
y en la calle el barrio grita
ya vendrá la venganza

Suéltame digo
suéltame
quita tus manos
como es que sabes que no soy inocente
lárgate, esfúmate, quítate que no soy malvado
y ningún delincuente
la policía casi me mata el otro día

Han matado un niño
han matado en la cuadra
y en la calle el barrio grita
ya vendrá la venganza

Policeman no te entrego mi granja
si quieres mota digo anda y cómprala
hey, deja de fastidiarme este es el Karamelo Santo

La policía no encuentra yerba, si!!!
y me inventa la causa, hay pobre de mi

Han matado un niño
han matado en la cuadra

y en la calle el barrio grita
ya vendrá la venganza
