Casposos

The song 'Casposos' by Ska-P is a fierce and unapologetic critique of charlatans and fraudsters who exploit people's vulnerabilities for financial gain. The lyrics are a scathing indictment of television psychics, faith healers, and other con artists who prey on the desperate and the gullible. Ska-P uses vivid and aggressive language to highlight the absurdity and cruelty of these individuals, referring to them as 'vampires' and 'vultures' who feed off the misfortunes of others.

The song delves into the various tactics used by these fraudsters, such as selling false hopes and miracle cures. The repeated mention of 'vienen del más allá' (they come from beyond) mocks the supernatural claims made by these con artists. Ska-P also criticizes the legal system for allowing these individuals to operate with impunity, pointing out the injustice of innocent people being punished while these scammers walk free. The lyrics suggest that these fraudsters lack any moral conscience, willing to deceive and exploit even those in terminal conditions.

Ska-P's musical style, characterized by its energetic ska-punk sound, complements the rebellious and confrontational tone of the lyrics. The band's use of humor and sarcasm, particularly in the final verses where they describe a surreal encounter with religious figures, serves to further ridicule the absurdity of the claims made by these charlatans. Through 'Casposos,' Ska-P not only entertains but also raises awareness about the dangers of blind faith and the importance of skepticism in the face of exploitation.
