 The lyrical style of Los Rabanes is a mix between Panamanian Spanish and English.Even if some choruses are fully or partly in English, most of the lyrics in the songs are in Spanish, using English only to express sarcasm, satire or parody.After the breakup of their bands "Rum & Coke" and "El Décimo Piso" in the early 1990s, childhood friends Emilio Regueira, Christian Torres and Javier Saavedra began playing in small pubs and bars during the weekends in Chitré, Herrera, in 1992.
