Paktofonika was founded shortly after Magik left Kaliber 44 during the recording of their second album, W 63 minuty dookoła świata. Rahim left his group 3xKlan at around the same time, and formed Paktofonika with Magik and Fokus in 1998.
In the spring of 2000 the group were signed with Gigant Records. That same year, on December 18, they released their debut album Kinematografia. Eight days after the album was released, Magik committed suicide by jumping from the ninth floor of his apartment. After his death, the group continued giving concerts for some time, using pre-recorded material for Magik's vocals.
In September 2002, the group's sophomore album was released. Archiwum Kinematografii contains studio out-takes from the first album, and songs recorded later without Magik. In 2003 the group announced the end of Paktofonika.
Rahim and Fokus continue to work on other projects, like PFK Kompany and Pokahontaz.

Paktofonika Lyrics

Patrz na mnie
To nie ja pannie
W wannie
Po twoim drinku
Wycierałem starannie
Twarz
Porzygała się
Dasz jej dropsa
Dupniesz
Na resztę srasz, nie
Strasz mnie synku,
Bo morda nie szklanka
Wiesz, nazywa się Anka
To moja kolezanka
Chcesz wiedzieć?
Twoja fanka to była (była była)
Tym zawiniła nie?
Te e e te czykyczyky bombom
Szczęście w nieszczęściu ze wiesz co to kondom
Może powiesz tez tym swoim głąbom
Skoro je robia tak na okrągło jak rondo
Żal dla ciebie niczym za spuszczoną bombą
Ściemniłeś kiedyś laskę mądrą na gadkę
A nie na klatkę
To fantom bo głupie dupy będą dawały dupy palantom
Ja mam to i nie ma to tamto
Esperanto esperanto
On ja swa dlonią objąl i dawal jej cieplo lecz byla pochodnią to straszne jednakże zauważ, że zdarzenie
Każde ma skutki poważne wiec stal sie tym kim nie chciał wrecz udowadniał ze nie zniewiesciał ał
W koncu skumał i zaakceptował juz nie musiał przed nią chowac sie za słowa
Definitywnie jestem kim jestem znam rantoespe
Swą powagą wyluzowany jak chester
Pieprze ze pieprze to lepsze niz przestep ty ty i ty a ty na deser sesesese ssij jak TSR gdy
EFOKaUeSeM koneser niesie w sobie klase niczym neseser
Oszalala za tym
Uhm po to jestem tu kotku otwarty
Uhm niegrzeczna dziewczynka
Uhm z twoich nog cieknie mi slinka
Masz dlug madame
Sprowadzam na ziemie
Ziemi trzesienie
Gdzie sila drzemie
Chyba nie w BeeMie
Nie ufaj samcom
A emocjom w oczach
Esperanto
The lyrics of Paktofonika's "Esperanto" follow a narrative, with the first verse describing a scene where the singer is cleaning the face of a woman who has thrown up after drinking someone else's beverage. The singer instructs the woman to take a drop, but warns the listener that they shouldn't be afraid, as the woman's face is not glass but rather a person named Anka, who happens to be the singer's friend. The singer also mentions that the listener's former fan was to blame for something (what exactly isn't clear from the lyrics).
In the second verse, the singer talks about a person who held someone else's hand, giving them warmth but also being like a torch - perhaps indicating that they ultimately hurt the person they were trying to help. The singer advises the listener to be themselves, and to not try to prove anything to others. They also mention knowing something called "rantoespe", which they compare to their own sense of authority (being "wyluzowany jak chester" - relaxed like Chester, perhaps a reference to the band Linkin Park's lead singer Chester Bennington). The verse ends with the singer bringing the listener back to reality, warning them to not trust companions and to instead focus on emotions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Esperanto" are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. The title of the song may be a reference to the constructed language Esperanto, which was created in the late 19th century with the goal of facilitating communication between speakers of different languages. The lyrics themselves also contain several references to language, such as the line "czykyczyky bombom" which sounds like a nonsense phrase, and the use of the word "definitywnie" (definitely), which indicates a strong sense of certainty. The song also contains several references to sex and relationships, such as the lines "dupy palantom" (translated roughly as "asses for the taking") and "z twoich nog cieknie mi slinka" (translating to "my mouth waters from your legs").
