Not only is Somos Los Que Estamos a full on high-energy blast from start to finish, the album is an adventure with a moral message; promoting creativity, originality, positivism, and self-responsibility. In fact, the conscious lyrics and upbeat vibe are the perfect compliment to an album that is driven from start to finish with a myriad of crunchy lo-fi beats n bleeps, infectious melodies and pure funk-fuelled inspiration.
From the opening chant “Se Puede” (It is possible) to "Gane Perder" (I win to lose) and the party monster “Promesas” (Promises) ready yourself for a new movement of Conscious Electronica from South America, it is a ride you don’t want to miss…
Debut album "Somos Los Que Estamos" out on 31st July through Sonic360!
2) 80's experimental band.

Los Mono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por que me creeria algo tan raro?
Yo no me quiebro
Por que eso me dolería harto
Yo me creo, solo me creo y creo que eso es bueno
Si no me creo a mi, a quien le creo yo???
Eres lo que eres, único en tu especie
En serio es bakan hacer lo que me gusta
Ordeñar una vaca o tejer con una lana
Una buena caminata o cuidar a mi hermana
Lo mas bakan de todo es lo que se hace con ganas
Para mi ser un bacan
Es ser de verdad
Un ser original
Ando rajao en mi bici
Camino lento, take it easy
Hago lo que hago lo mejor que puedo
Y cuando la cago...im sorry, la arreglo
Eres lo que eres, único en tu especie
Primero de la serie, tomate en serio
No soy perfecto lo acepto
Tengo defectos, los detecto
Conmigo me entretengo, tengo tengo tengo
Tu lo tienes todo, me tengo a mi mismo
Pasándolo bien solo, solo con mis amigos
Me creo lo que digo, me rio conmigo
Lo mas bakan de todo es lo que se hace con ganas
Para mi ser un bacan
Es ser de verdad
Un ser original
The lyrics to Los Mono's song "Ser Bacan" focus on the importance of self-confidence and being true to oneself. The opening lines express a lack of concern for appearing "cool" or impressive to others, as the lyrics state "I don't believe I'm cool, why would I believe something so strange? I don't break, because that would hurt me a lot." The singer instead emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself, as "if I don't believe in myself, who will I believe in?"
The chorus of the song encourages listeners to embrace their individuality, highlighting that "you are what you are, unique in your species." Rather than conforming to societal expectations or norms, the lyrics suggest that individuals should take themselves seriously and pursue their passions with enthusiasm. The song offers examples of simple, satisfying activities that can bring joy, like "milking a cow or knitting with wool" and encourages listeners to find their own sources of happiness.
The verses emphasize the imperfection of the singer. They accept their flaws and recognize their own ability to improve. The lyrics conclude with a repetition of the chorus, declaring that being a "bacan" means being an authentic and original person.

Actually the Los Mono project was meant to be the soundtrack for a children's TV series. They were rejected so the album was released as a separated work
