Shaka Ponk is a Paris-based band that has created a sound that blends electro, rock, punk, and dance with a stunning live show that combines advanced digital animation with an unsurpassed display of energy from the band members. Released under the French record label tôt Ou tard/ Guess What! (Yael Naim - Piers Faccini), Bad Porn Movie Trax is composed of fourteen high-energy tracks including singles "How We Kill Stars" and "Do".
Shaka Ponk got its start between Paris and Berlin in 2005 from a concept that brings together music, imagery and activism. The former web designer and imaginative frontman of the group, Frah, along with guitarist, CC, came up with a highly original project that combined conventional rock-n-roll elements (dirty guitar riffs and cardiac stimulating beats) with new techniques such as VJing, which mixes sounds and images around an animated monkey character named Goz who is as much a part of the group as the other five members. Since then, the band has been extremely active online creating complex videos and innovative motion graphic work as well as their own online channel, "Monkey TV".
Shaka Ponk performed in New York City for the first time October 2009 in the celebrated CMJ Musical Festival and on November 7, AOL chose the track "How We Kill Stars" off the new album Bad Porn Movie Trax as the Music Video of the Day. The band released the album in the United States on March 1, 2010.
In 2011 the band added a female singer, Samaha Sam, and released their album The Geeks and the Jerkin' Socks in June, 2011.

Te Gusta Me
The song "Te Gusta Me" by Shaka Ponk is a fast-paced, rhythmic tune that combines English and Spanish lyrics, along with simple yet catchy melodies. The opening refrain, "Hey hey te gusta me," translates to "Hey hey, you like me" in English, and it sets the playful, flirty mood of the song. The second verse switches to Spanish, with the repeated line "S.H.A.K.A.P.O.N.K toca la guitarra para me baby," which means "Shaka Ponk plays the guitar for me, baby," adding a sultry and seductive element to the song.
The rest of the lyrics are a mix of English and Spanish, with the repeated line "Do wap do do" serving as a rhythmic filler. The words that follow are a little harder to decipher, but they seem to be about taking control of one's life and journey. The lines "I brought a pencil to draw el camino, where dyu wanna go?" can be interpreted as an invitation to map out one's own path and destiny, an uplifting message that encourages self-reflection and personal growth.
Overall, "Te Gusta Me" is a fun, upbeat song that blends different languages, sounds, and themes to create a unique and memorable musical experience. It celebrates the joy of being alive, the excitement of taking risks, and the power of love and connection.
