Hello, Hivers and Music lovers!
It's music sharing day at Hive thanks to #threetunetuesday. I haven't posted for a few weeks now, because of RL stuff and also because of a lot of dispersion on my part lately ;) but this Tuesday I have no excuses for not joining the #threetunetuesday since last weekend we went to the concert in Bogotá of the Venezuelan band Desorden Público. They are celebrating their 40 years of career with a tour in some Spanish speaking countries.
The funny thing is that last week I saw that @nancybriti1 did a #ttt post about Desorden Público and I thought Wow!!! It's been years since I've listened to them. And the next day, a friend of my husband who is here in Bogotá called, inviting us to the concert of Desorden Público for their 40th anniversary.
Desorden Público was one of the bands that emerged in Venezuela in the mid-80s, along with others of the time like Sentimiento Muerto and Zapato 3. They started playing in a miniteca parties (small mobile discoteques), the day of the concert, they mentioned the miniteca was called Aseo Urbano. Desorden Público, with their unique style and taking Ska as their rhythm, became very well known. They have a unique style as they added tropical elements to their music, creating a contagious sound with what they called Tropical Ska.
Desorden Público continued with their career over the years, and although they are mostly known in Venezuela, their music has some followers on the continent.
For this ttt, I am going to share three songs from their first album. Perhaps the songs are not the best known of the band, but they are the ones that took me down memory lane when hearing them live last weekend.
But before I get into the tunes, let me give you a little background if you are new to Hive and aren't familiar with #threetunetuesday. In the words of @ablaze who initiate it:

And now without further ado, let's go with my tunes for this week.
Tune 1 - Desorden Público - Zapatos Resbalosos
Back in the late 80s, I heard them for the first time with Zapatos Resbalosos. And don't tell me that listening to it doesn't make you start dancing.
Tune 2 - Desorden Público - Esto es Ska
Of course, speaking of Ska, I couldn't leave out the song Esto es Ska.
Esto es Ska y si no te gusta te vas ...
This is Ska, and if you don't like it, you get out ...
Tune 3 - Desorden Público - Skapate
The third song Skapate makes a play on words in its title with Ska and the word Escapate. The lyrics are quite funny.
After that first album, the band incorporated many current political and social issues with a satirical tone to the lyrics of their songs.
And I can't close the post without a bonus.
Bonus Tune - Desorden Público - Allá Cayó
Allá Cayó is perhaps Desorden Público's best-known song. This song is from the late 90s, and the video I share with you is the original from that time.
It was very fun to go to the concert, and see that even though a lot of years have passed, not only do they keep jumping and dancing and making a Desorden. But also, WE (the hubby and I) can still spend two and a half hours singing, dancing, and jumping to their songs, hehe.
Are you a ska lover? Have you listened to Desorden Público before?
If you liked the songs, which one did you like the most? Tell me in the comments.
Thank you very much for reading!
Enjoy the music, and enjoy life!
