Molotov Cocktail

To listen to the members of hot Mexican rap group Molotov talk, you’d think it’s a band that just wants to have fun.

“Listeners should keep in mind not to take everything [we say] real serious,” drummer Randy “El Gringo Loco” Ebright, 20, said in a recent interview. “We like to have fun. We talk about things that bother us in our lives as a way of release. But we do it in a sarcastic way.”

Nevertheless, Molotov’s fans and detractors take the politically charged rap of its debut album, “Donde jugaran las ninas?” (Where Will the Girls Play?), quite seriously. (The album’s title is an open jab at “Donde jugaran los ninos?” [Where Will the Children/Boys Play?], the catchy tropical pop 1992 album by Mexico’s best-known rock en espanol band, Mana.)

“Songs like ‘Voto Latino’ [Latin Vote] or ‘Gimme tha Power’ are songs that we can identify with here,” said fan Juan Garcia, 23, at a Molotov show earlier this week at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. “They talk about ending discrimination, people’s impotence over government corruption and about empowering us as Mexi

Molotov (band)

Mexican rock band

Molotov is a Mexican rock band formed in Mexico City in 1995. Their lyrics, which are rapped and sung by all members of the group, feature a mixture of Spanish and English. The band members also switch instruments and roles depending on what song they are performing. Most of the group's songs are best known for their content of political satire and social criticism towards the Mexican government and society, which led them to be a subject of censorship at the beginning of their career. Molotov are one of the best-selling Latin bands of all-time, having sold more than four million copies of their albums worldwide.

Molotov

Molotov was formed in 1995 when two friends, Tito Fuentes (guitar) and Micky Huidobro (bass) began playing together and in 1996 they were joined by Paco Ayala (bass) and Randy Ebright (drums), the only US-born member of the band. Throughout 1996, the band played in many underground clubs in Mexico City and quickly began opening shows for some of the biggest bands of the time, including Héroes del Silencio and La Lupita, and Illya Kuryaki and The Valderramas. That were quickly discovered by Surco/Universal and within their first year of existence, they were offered a recording contract.

They quickly began production on their debut album under the direction of Latin Rock Svengali Gustavo Santaolalla and in July of 1997, they released their debut album ¿Dónde Jugarán las Niñas?, which took its name partly from Maná's album ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? generating controversy with stores refusing to sell it because of its lyrics and cover. The lyrics included a mixture of politics, sex and expletives, which made it hard for Molotov to enter mainstream media, but served as the d
