Artist History Born in the western side of Caracas in 1985, Desorden Público represents the first and most important ska project as well as one the main pop bands of Venezuela's contemporary musical history, in addition to being one of the most solid current Latin ska proposals.Founders, Horacio Blanco and José Luis "Caplís" Chacín had already been working as disk jockeys in the Caracas underground when they decided to baptize their band with a name intended to satirize the Venezuelan National Guard's public order vans. Their work as disk jockeys prompted Horacio and Caplís to specialize in trends such as punk and British ska, new wave and Jamaican reggae, all of which sounds were to influence directly the first repertoire of the newborn group.

Group Members Caplis, Horacio, Dan Lee, Oscarelo, Hernán, Antonio, Emigdio and Cheo.

Instruments Guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, accordion, percussion, trombone, and saxophone.

Albums ¿Dónde está el Futuro?, Plomo Revienta, Canto Popular de la Vida y Muerte, En Descomposición, Desorden Público.
