About this album
Where they were
Incontrolable – En directo is Ska-P's first live album, released in 2004 during a peak period of their popularity following the success of the studio album, Nos vemos en los bares. At this point, the band had solidified their reputation as leading figures in the ska-punk scene, known for their provocative performances and anthemic songs. This live recording captures the raw energy that defined their concerts.
Why it matters
This album not only showcases Ska-P's dynamic live performance but also reflects their cultural impact, particularly within Spain’s punk and ska scenes. The band's politically charged lyrics have made them a voice for social issues, and Incontrolable reached high chart positions in Spain, further establishing them as key figures in the genre during the early 2000s.
