Karamelo Santo

The band plays a mix of rock, ska, jazz, salsa, folk, rap, reggae, funk and cumbia.

The lineup has changed over the years, but the main members have always been the co-founders: singer Guillermo Ogalde Gluzman (known as Goy karamelo) and Mario Yarke.

The band has collaborated with several famous musicians, such as Manu Chao, Fermin Muguruza, Sergent Garcia, Ska-P and David Byrne.

With Todos Tus Muertos, Kortatu and Mano Negra, they are among the most influential bands of the Latin punk rock world.

In 1997, Goy karamelo founded Kangrejoz Records, an independent music label, which included bands like Non Palidece, Resistencia Suburbana and Andando Descalzo.
