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.

Más dinero , mas dolor, kémalo, kémalo
Torturar hasta matar, kémalo, kémalo
El negocio peletero vamos a exterminar
Es la degeneración, kémalo, kémalo
O es falta de información, kémalo, kémalo
No te dejes engañar, kémalo, kémalo
Abrigos asesinos para coquetear
Señora adinerada que nos quiere demostar
Poder adquisitivo de la alta sociedad
Cubriendo sus defectos con la piel de un animal
La hermosura de su piel, kémalo, kémalo
Tu nunca podrás tener, kémalo, kémalo
Tu dinero comprará, kémalo, kémalo
La triste decadencia de tu pobre dignidad
Millones de animales agonizan en sus jaulas
O en los cepos que los van a asesinar, asesinar!
Matanza de inocentes por un lujo innecesario
Que empobrece nuestra mente why nos hare culpables
Debajo de esa piel hay vida animal
Tramperos asesinos, kémalo, kémalo
Debajo de esa piel hay vida animal
Granjas asesinas
Te gustó su suavidad, kémalo, kémalo
Su belleza te cegó, kémalo, kémalo
No debes colaborar, kémalo, kémalo
Comprando sufrimiento con la piel de un animal
Abrigos asesinos para coquetear
Señora adinerada que nos quiere demostrar
Poder adquisitivo de la alta sociedad
Cubriendo sus defectos con la piel de un animal
Millones de animales agonizan en sus jaulas
O en los cepos que los van a asesinar asesinar
Matanza de inocentes por un lujo innecesario
Que empobrece nuestra mente y nos haré culpables
Kémalo by Ska-P is a meaningful song that criticizes the inhumane business of fur trade. The lyrics convey the message of the immense pain and suffering faced by millions of animals trapped in small cages, beaten, and eventually killed for their skin. The chorus emphasizes the need to burn down the entire fur trade industry and save the innocent animals. The repetition of the word 'kémalo' reinforces the passion and urgency of the message.
The first verse targets the fur traders and their greed for more money, leading to intensified torture of animals to meet the demand. The second verse questions the morality of the people who buy fur products and the false image of beauty projected through them. The third and fourth verses unravel the horrifying truth of the fur trade - millions of innocent animals die a cruel death only to become a luxury item for the humans. The last verse urges people to stop buying fur products and contributing to the suffering of innocent animals.
Overall, Kémalo by Ska-P is a powerful message against the cruelty and inhumanity of the fur trade industry. It reminds us to be responsible and compassionate towards all living beings and to make conscious choices about the products we buy.
