Roban y Nadie Grita

Kapanga's song "Roban y Nadie Grita" is a powerful critique of political corruption and societal complacency. The repetitive chorus "Roban y nadie grita" ("They steal and no one screams") underscores a sense of frustration and helplessness in the face of systemic theft by those in power. The phrase "Son buenas personas" ("They are good people") is used sarcastically, highlighting the hypocrisy and irony of corrupt leaders who are often perceived as respectable figures despite their actions.

The song paints a vivid picture of a society ravaged by corruption, where politicians and leaders, likened to "pinches diputados, presidentes" ("damn deputies, presidents"), exploit their positions for personal gain. The reference to "cuarenta ladrones" ("forty thieves") alludes to the tale of Ali Baba, drawing a parallel between the fictional thieves and real-life corrupt officials. The lyrics describe a nation stripped of its resources, where even the wind has been stolen, emphasizing the extent of the plunder.

Kapanga also touches on the social consequences of this corruption, with "millones de gente sin salida" ("millions of people without a way out") suffering from poverty and lack of basic necessities. The imagery of "inundaron todo de falopa" ("they flooded everything with drugs") and "pistas clandestinas, cuentas suizas" ("clandestine runways, Swiss accounts") paints a grim picture of a society overwhelmed by illegal activities and financial mismanagement. Through this song, Kapanga not only criticizes the corrupt elite but also calls for awareness and action from the public, urging them to break the silence and demand accountability.
