Musically, despite their fun image, Ska-P has well-rehearsed and tight arrangements, and as of 2002, includes among its members a brass section.

[1] The band's worldwide farewell tour of 2005 ended in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October of that year.

In October 2007 the band confirmed they were getting back together and in September 2008 released the single "Crimen sollicitationis".

[2] Ska-P returned to La Cubierta Stadium in December 2008 to perform their only concert in Spain of that tour.

They performed in Spain and France and also made their debut in Latin America, playing in Argentina and Mexico.

Pako, drummer and founding member of Ska-P, left the band in the middle of the tour and was replaced by Luismi.

Furthermore, in these last tours, trumpet player Txikitín and trombonist Gari, both from the Spanish city of Bilbao, joined the band.

In fact, there are rumors,[citation needed] based on the attitude of both sides, that there were internal squabbles between Joxemi, Pipi and Pulpul.

Their last concert in Spain was 24 September 2005 in La Cubierta de Leganés and their last show was in Argentina was on 12 October 2005.

All the revenue from this festival was donated to Argentine charities such as the mapuche communities (in memory of the pain inflicted on them by the Spanish during the conquest and formation of the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata) and almshouses serving food in Buenos Aires.

In 2006, six months after the hiatus begun, Pulpul wrote an entry on the official band website announcing that he was still composing and hoped that the lyrics would be included on a new Ska-P album.

The group's return was confirmed on the official page and a new album for October 2008, Lágrimas y gozos, was announced, as well as a mini-tour of Europe in Italy, France, and Spain, and of Latin America in Mexico, Chile, Ecuador, Argentina and Venezuela.
