Its founders were Sebastián Teysera (lead vocals, frontman and main songwriter), Nicolás Lieutier (bass guitar) and Santiago Butler (guitar) - all three are still part of the band today. The band's first appearance as La Vela Puerca was in a montevidean street party in December 24, 1995. By then, several new members had already joined in. In 1996, frontman Sebastián Teysera presented a demo tape to a band contest. The rest of the band did not become aware of this until they found out they were one of the twenty finalists. A month later, they recieved a phone call saying they had won, and with this they were given 80 hours of free recording session which would be vital for their debut album.
La Vela Puerca released four albums: Deskarado (1998)(1999 released in Europe as "La Vela Puerca"), De Bichos Y Flores (2001), A Contraluz (2004)and El Impulso (2007).
In Germany they're well-known since they've played with Die Ärzte in Germany and Uruguay. In 2006 they're touring again in Europe.
A su bola
La Vela Puerca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que haya buen tiempo si no hay nada que hacer
Se arma la vela why cada uno a su bola
que esto no es joda why que aparezca de una vez
Sere el presidente
de un sindicato
todos mis zapatos
que pocas ganas de poner un negocio
pa que tu socio te serruche los pies
yo te conozco te he visto por la zona
vos sos el brujo que cura la vejez

In the beginning of La Vela Puerca's song "A su bola," the lyrics state that someone has told the singer that good weather is useless if there is nothing to do. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, implying that the singer values action and productivity. The phrase "a su bola" roughly translates to "doing your own thing," indicating that each person in the world is responsible for their own actions.
The chorus repeats the phrase "se arma la vela," which means "the candle is lit." This suggests that the action is about to begin, and that everyone should be prepared to do their own thing. The singer reminds the listener that "esto no es joda," or "this is not a joke," indicating that the singer is serious about their intentions.
In the bridge, the singer announces their ambition to become the president of a union in order to help people, even if it means giving away their own belongings. The final verse accuses someone of being a false healer and a trickster, using the phrase "vos sos el brujo que cura la vejez" or "you are the witch doctor who cures aging."
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of taking action and doing one's own thing, regardless of what others may say or do. It encourages self-expression and individuality in a world where many people conform to societal norms.

Cómo suena esta Vela....2020 y seguimos con esto!!! 💪❤️
@Soyalemorin
Esta versión es de 1999 de la reedición del deskarado que dicho la vela puerca en letras blancas en la tapa se diferencia por los arreglos y por qué en el deskarado de 1998 no hay trompeta solo saxo, se nota mucho en paren hoy, en madre resistencia y especialmente en esa canción a su bola que en el solo de vientos toca coli el saxo y después ale la trompeta en la otra versión es solo saxo, bueno es un dato nomás ya que hay mucha gente que no tiene idea de esto. Vamos la vela.
