Panteón Rococó is a ska band from Mexico City founded in 1995. Despite flourishing black markets, they have sold thousands of records. Their name is taken from the play El cocodrilo solitario del panteón rococó ("The lonely crocodile from the rococo graveyard") by the Mexican playwright Hugo Argüelles. Since early in their musical career they have regularly toured Europe, especially Germany, where they were represented by the now-defunct independent label Übersee Records.
Musical style and lyrics Panteón Rococó blends several styles of popular music such as rock, punk, salsa, mariachi, reggae, ska, and also mestizo-music into a very energetic, groovy sound. They are very politically active and support the EZLN in Chiapas. Some of their lyrics contain political statements, while many other works are love songs.
