After the breakup of their bands "Rum & Coke" and "El Décimo Piso" in the early 1990s, childhood friends Emilio Regueira, Christian Torres and Javier Saavedra began playing in small pubs and bars during the weekends in Chitré, Herrera, in 1992.

By the end of the year, they released their debut album “¿Por Qué Te Fuiste Benito?”, with the video for the title track playing heavily on MTV Latino.

The album, recorded in Panama and mixed in Argentina, had Flavio Cianciarulo from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs as producer, and Rubén Blades as a guest on vocals.

The album, recorded in Crescent Moon studios in Miami Florida, combines Punk, Calypso, Reggae, ska, and hip hop, with a lot of spanglish and meringue house, adding some wind instruments and Latin percussion.

In 2006, the band ends their contract with Crescent Moon and Emilio Estefan Jr. and released a greatest hits box set called “10 años sonando”, with two CDs and a DVD.

In 2013 they release their seventh studio album, “Urban Rock”, featuring collaborations with Flex for the single “Why Not?” and Miguel Ángel Tesis in “Dime Que Tú Quieres”.

In March 2015, they participated into the renowned Festival in Bogota- Colombia, “Vive el Planeta”, that year part of the World Summit on Arts and Culture in Bogota.

In July, Los Rabanes were selected to participate as soundtrack for the Peruvian film; “La Herencia” directed by Gastón Vizcarra (Perú), with the song “Ya No te Lloro Mas”.

“Rabanes Live” had the best of their 8 studio albums that mixes different styles and stages that has passed through the band with his unmistakable fusion of ska, punk, dance hall, Panamanian and Caribbean folk sounds.
