Panteón Rococó
Mexican ska band from Mexico City
Panteón Rococó is a ska band from Mexico City founded in 1995. Despite flourishing black markets, they have sold thousands of records. Their name is taken from the play El cocodrilo solitario del panteón rococó ("The lonely crocodile from the rococo graveyard") by the Mexican playwright Hugo Argüelles. Since early in their musical career they have regularly toured Europe, especially Germany, where they were represented by the now-defunct independent label Übersee Records.
Musical style and lyrics
Panteón Rococó blends several styles of popular music such as rock, punk, salsa, mariachi, reggae, ska, and also mestizo-music into a very energetic, groovy sound. They are very politically active and support the EZLN in Chiapas. Some of their lyrics contain political statements, while many other works are love songs.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Panteón Rococó” as mexican ska band from Mexico City. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q377900. VIAF identifies the subject as 134730356. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
