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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eh, tu! No molestes, de la JET del presidente
Eh, tu! No molestes, soy un gran terrateniente
Tengo poder para poderte hundir
Mis negocios con la mafia en clandestinidad
Especular con los inmuebles, rentabilidad
Soy el dueño de un imperio, héroe nacional
Hago puestos de trabajo, productividad
Eh, tu! A mi no me hables de igualdad
Eh, tu! Yo todo lo puedo comprar
Eh, tu! No sabes quién soy yo
Soy el corazón del capital
Kacikes es nuestra ciudad, kacikes, kacikes, kacikes en nuestra ciudad
Eh, tu! No molestes, soy el dueño de la gente
Eh, tu! No molestes, buen patriota, buen creyente
Eh, tu! No molestes, apartad a este indigente
Tengo poder para poderte hundir
Sobornar a la justicia es mi especialidad
Traficar con armamento qué facilidad!
El poder y la riqueza es mi moralidad
Tengo todo lo que quiero, tengo capital
Eh, tu! A mi no me hables de igualdad
Eh, tu! Yo todo lo puedo comprar
Eh, tu! No sabes quién soy yo
Soy el corazón del capital
Kacikes es nuestra ciudad, kacikes, kacikes, kacikes en nuestra ciudad
Enciende la radio, enciende la televisión, siempre esta presente este jodido barrigón, dueño del insulto amo de la humillación, que te den por culo, tripón Eres un chupón producto de esta sociedad, estúpido fascista, nos haces vomitar, escupes tu codicia explotando a los demás, cerdo, fariseo, tripón
Eh, tu! A mi no me hables de igualdad
Eh, tu! Yo todo lo puedo comprar
Eh, tu! No sabes quién soy yo
Soy el corazón del capital
Kacikes es nuestra ciudad, kacikes, kacikes, kacikes en nuestra ciudad
The lyrics of "Kacikes" by Ska-P present a scathing critique of the capitalist system and the corrupt individuals who benefit from it. In the song, the singer boasts about their power and wealth, gained through shady dealings with the mafia and the exploitation of real estate. They see themselves as above the law, able to manipulate and bribe the justice system to maintain their position. They also tout their supposed patriotism and religiosity, even as they treat the less fortunate with disdain and indifference.
The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "Eh, tu! A mi no me hables de igualdad" ("Hey, you! Don't talk to me about equality"), serves as a defiant motto for the singer's worldview. They believe that wealth and power are the only true measures of worth, and that anyone who disagrees or challenges them is inferior and deserving of their scorn. The singer sees themselves as the heart of the capitalist system, the driving force behind its success and the ultimate embodiment of its values.
Overall, "Kacikes" is a powerful indictment of the greed and corruption that flourish under capitalism, and a call for resistance and defiance against those who seek to perpetuate it.
