Punk Tico

Punk Tico is a genre of punk rock music that originated in Costa Rica in the late 1990s. It is characterized by its fast-paced, aggressive sound and its lyrics, which often focus on social and political issues. Punk Tico bands often incorporate traditional Latin American instruments such as marimbas and bongos into their sound. The genre has been described as a mix of punk, ska, reggae, and Latin American music. Punk Tico bands have become popular in Costa Rica and have gained international recognition, with some bands touring in Europe and the United States.
