Background notes
Archive material and source history
La Hierba de Castigo formed in Mexico City in 1997 with Ulises Lozano on vocals and guitar, Armando Vega on bass, and Luis Felipe Góngora on drums. Their music pulled from punk, ska, and Mexican folk traditions, creating something that didn't fit neatly into one category.
Their debut album, also called "La Hierba de Castigo," brought them wider attention. The song "Insoportablemente Bella" became particularly notable for its subject matter about sex workers, drawing both strong support and criticism. The band's lyrics often dealt with political themes and marginalized voices.
They faced legal challenges and threats of censorship over their work, but continued performing and recording. Their sound remained raw and direct, with live shows that carried an emotional intensity that connected with their audience.
