Most of their songs feature an infectious and energic vibe and feature lyrics about non-conformity, criticism of capitalism and racism, and their defense of equal justice, plus taking part in various multicultural, alternative and anti-globalization festivals. Their song "Cannabis", supporting and defending the legalization of said substance, launched them to certain popularity in Spain and parts of Mexico and South America. They also have followers in the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Portugal, and other European countries.
After a wildly successful tour across South America in late 2005, the band decided, in their own words, to "stop for a while". Some of their members went on to form side band projects such as No Relax and The Locos. As time went by without further notices, many Ska-P fans feared the band had been gone for good. On late April 2008 and for the rejoice of their worldwide fans, they announced their return as a band on their official site.
Their new album, "Lágrimas y gozos", was released the 7th of October 2008 and its first single is called "Crimen sollicitationis". The band is going to perform various shows around South America and Europe in November and December.

Alí el magrebí
by Ska-P
No se si te acuerdas de mi, yo soy Alí,
Aquel pobre desgraciado de la canción de alao'
que le pillaron con hachís.
Alí, Alí, Alí el magrebí, un triste día decidí
Huir de la miseria, cruzando la frontera,
Para llegar a tu país.
Contra el viento y a traves del mar, Alí
Mis sueños hechos realidad, voy a llegar.
Yo solo quiero trabajar, no pido caridad,
Tan solo una oportunidaad.
Alí, Alí, Alí el magrebí, pasé el Estrecho sin dudar,
Jugandome la vida, dejando a mi familia
Para algún día regresar.
Contra el viento y a traves del mar, Alí
En Londres, París, Berlín o Madrid.
Alí, Alí no sabe donde vivir.
Alí, cerca del año 2000
Alí intenta sobrevivir.
Alí, Alí tu media luna esta gris.
Alí, el cielo llora por tí
Alí, perdido en este país.
Más de seis días sin comer, ¡qué voy a hacer!
No tengo ni dónde dormir, no podré resistir,
¡No se que coño pasa aquí!
¡Alá, Alá, asisteme, Alá, ¡que largo es este Ramadán!
Nadie me echa una mano aunque somo hermanos:
Tu antepasado es magrebí
Contra el viento y a traves del mar, Alí
En Londres, París, Berlín o Madrid.
Alí, Alí no sabe donde vivir.
Alí, cerca del año 2000
Alí intenta sobrevivir.
Alí, Alí tu media luna esta gris.
Alí, el cielo llora por tí
Alí, perdido en este país
