Santeria By Sublime


The song includes the bassline and guitar riff from Sublime's earlier song "Lincoln Highway Dub" off the 1994 album Robbin' the Hood. SanterĂ­a is an Afro-Cuban religion, practiced in Cuba, South Florida, and exported to other areas in the Caribbean.

The song tells the story of a jealous ex-boyfriend who is planning to take revenge on the man who stole his girlfriend. The man then decides to find a new girlfriend, instead. However, the man then mentions using violent force as he speaks of "popping a cap in Sancho" and "putting that barrel straight down Sancho's throat" if he ever sees him again. The lead singer of Sublime, Bradley Nowell, refers to the man as "sancho" and his ex-girlfriend as "Heina". In Mexican or Chicano/a culture, a man who steals another man's girlfriend is often referred to as "sancho" while a man's woman or girlfriend is referred to as "jaina", which is adapted from the Spanish word reina, meaning "queen" in English.

The lyric was written by lead singer Brad Nowell, who died two months before the album was released.



In the first time I heard this song when I played game Guitar Hero in PS2 and suddenly I really like and played again and again. Until now, I always listen this song when got an unpleasant experience or in the lowest position. The aransemen is quite simple but really good one. Mostly reggae genre make us confortable and relax.
