maldita vecindad

la maldita vecindad y los hijos del quinto patio -lrb- , usually called only `` la maldita '' -rrb- are a band formed in mexico city in 1985 .
they are pioneers in rock en español and are one of the most influential rock bands in mexico .
they first made an impact with `` mojado '' , `` un poco de sangre '' , `` cocodrilo '' , `` pachuco '' and `` un gran circo , '' songs that narrate the problems , adventures , and beauty of a society anxious to improve its economic status .
their wardrobe has incorporated elements of the pachuco , an archetypical character represented by tin tán in the mexican cinema .
tin tan is sampled in one of the group 's biggest hits , 1991 's `` pachuco '' .
the last studio album recorded was in 2009 .
since then , the band has collaborated with other bands , as well as having participated in tribute albums like the tributes for and tigres del norte .
their sound incorporates many styles , including ska , rock , and traditional cuban forms such as the bolero and cuban son .
