Their mix reached styles such as Heavy, Rock&Roll or Blues, but is rooted in Flamenco. Chicho is the band leader. Furthermore, the band tries to take both a poetic and political (social justice) approach to their music
The sense of humor in their songs tends to be bitter.
The band dissolved in 2007 but you can still find Chicho (lead singer) in the central bars of Seville...talking about what he sings, or singing about what he talks...

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para pintar las cosas,
Aunque ninguno iguale
El de tu ojos y el de carne.
Eres la pila que alimenta mi linterna,
Que alumbra los caminos
Pa' que el amor nunca más se pierda.
Eres la pila que alimenta mi linterna.
Pa' que el amor nunca más se pierda.
¡Comprender, tenemos que comprender
Que hoy, mañana, será yesterday!
Nananai nanai nanai nanai na ná
Nananai nanai nanai nanai na ná
El querer, el querer, el querer como la higuera,
Que cuando quiere me da hijos.
Y cuando quiere a mi me da brevas.
El querer, el querer, el querer como la higuera,
Que cuando quiere me da hijos.
Y cuando quiere a mi me da brevas.
¡No te vayas, no me dejes solo!
Que yo me siento perdido,
Y por las noches no duermo
Buscando yo tu cariño.
¡Comprender, tenemos que comprender
Que hoy, mañana, será yesterday!
Colores, dame colores
Para pintar las cosas,
Aunque ninguno iguale
El de tu ojos y el de carne.
Eres la pila que alimenta mi linterna,
Que alumbra los caminos
Pa' que el amor nunca más se pierda.
Eres la pila que alimenta mi linterna,
Que alumbra los caminos
Pa' que el amor nunca más se pierda.
Leilolaleilo, leilo leilo leilo
Leilo leilo leilo la...
The lyrics of Mártires del Compás's song "Colores" speak about the power of love and how it serves as a guiding light in one's life. The singer asks for colors to paint the world with, but acknowledges that none can compare to the colors of their lover's eyes and flesh. They describe their lover as the source of power that fuels their lantern, lighting the path so that love may never be lost. The higuera, a type of fig tree, is used as a metaphor for love, as it provides both fruits and shade depending on its mood. The singer begs their lover not to leave them alone, as they feel lost without them and spend sleepless nights seeking their affection. The song ends with a repeating of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of love in bringing color and light to life.
The lyrics of "Colores" are rich in metaphor and reflect the Spanish cultural tradition of using nature to convey emotions and ideas. The song belongs to the genre of flamenco fusion, which combines various traditional musical styles to create a unique sound. Mártires del Compás were known for their fusion of flamenco, blues, and rock, creating a new style that appealed to a wide audience. "Colores" was one of their most famous songs, and it became a symbol of the band's philosophy of living life to the fullest and cherishing love and relationships.
