Though their music has been sold and traded on the black market at nearly an epidemic rate, heavily taking away from the group’s album sales, Mexico City’s ultra-popular Panteón Rococó hasn’t let that impede their global trekking—nor quiet their passionate political voice. Currently on their Ejercito de Paz Tour, a solid four-month endeavor, Panteón Rococó has a decade-plus worth of upbeat, Latin-infused rock, reggae and ska to share with the world. But losing steam doesn’t seem to be an impending issue—its their kind of progressive, positive roots-foundation power that keeps them going.
