Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Panico critiques the portrayal of Latin America as a place of exotic and mysterious phenomena. The line "Eliot Ness in latin-america, bullshit man" references the American government's interventions in Latin American countries with the goal of protecting American interests. Eliot Ness was an American Prohibition agent known for his role in bringing down Al Capone, and the mention of his name suggests the presence of American control and influence in Latin America. By calling it "bullshit," Panico challenges the myth of Latin America as a primitive and irrational place that the West must civilize.


The next line, "This ain't no voodoo man," dismisses the idea that Latin American culture is primitive or backward, by pointing out that voodoo is an Afro-Caribbean religion and not representative of Latin American culture as a whole. The use of the word "man" repeatedly throughout the lyrics emphasizes the singer's frustration with the machismo culture that is often associated with Latin America.


The chorus "¿Qué pasa wey?" translates to "What's happening, dude?" and is repeated several times, implying that the singer is trying to make sense of the chaotic and confusing atmosphere. Overall, the lyrics of "Que Pasa Wey" highlight the stereotypes and ignorance that often abound in Western portrayals of Latin America and challenge these false representations.
