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

La lava
Karamelo Santo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Directo a la lava
mi corazón un volcán en llamas
no puede ser, no me puedo detener
directo a la lava
y no hay tiempo pa pensar que pasa
si me quemo si me quemo

Salto y otra vez quiero ver

si es que duele como la ultima vez
salto y otra vez, es que no puedo parar

El tiempo es uno
y el límite no lo puedo encontrar aun
cuanto mas, cuanto mas
ya verás, ya verás
dame tiempo para sanar
el barranco es grande, acelera tu sangre
a veces el tiempo esta de tu parte
si necesitas saber, si necesitas correr
si necesitas perder para aprender

Salto y otra vez quiero ver
si es que duele como la ultima vez
salto y otra vez, es que no puedo parar

Salto y otra vez quiero ver
si es que duele como la ultima vez
salto y otra vez, es que no quiero parar

Like a gun fire no falla
mi boca no se calla estalla y
ensaya en tiempo real
el divertido arte de acomodar

Palabras dentro de un mismo groove y no fallar
vertiginosa y excitante es esta tarea
mira como la misma vida
Como hacer caída libre sin paracaídas
como sobrevivir a este jungla sin transformarte en suicida

Y es que el monster se jacta de su moral intacta
por eso tantos pactan con vendas en los ojos y ojo
por ojo después te cobra y abracadabra tu vida no es mas
yo se que tu sabes como es, yo se que tu sabes como darle el revés
yo se que has aprendido a aguantar el tirón
y ahora mismo te mueres por acción

Salto y otra vez quiero ver
si es que duele como la ultima vez
salto y otra vez, es que no puedo parar

Salto y otra vez quiero ver

si es que duele como la ultima vez
salto y otra vez, es que no quiero parar

Overall Meaning

The song "La Lava" by Karamelo Santo speaks about the urge to take risks even if it means falling into uncertain situations or making mistakes. The lyrics use the metaphor of a volcano to describe the intense emotions and desires that the singer is feeling. The chorus "Salto y otra vez quiero ver, si es que duele como la ultima vez, salto y otra vez, es que no puedo parar" expresses the willingness to keep taking risks, even if there is potential for pain or failure.

The verses then delve into the idea that time is an unknown enemy, yet one that we cannot get enough of. The line "El tiempo es uno y el límite no lo puedo encontrar aun" speaks of how time is an uncontrolled force, that we cannot predict nor control. The singer then goes on to speak of the importance of being resilient and taking risks, in order to learn and grow. The ultimate message of the song is to keep pushing oneself, taking risks, and not being afraid of making mistakes.
