Inspector is an influential ska and reggae band hailing from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, known for their energetic and emotive performances. The band was formed in 1995 by friends who shared a passion for the traditional rhythms of ska combined with the urban soundscapes of reggae and the emotive storytelling found in Latin ballads and boleros. As pioneers in fusing these genres, Inspector quickly became a staple of the Latin American ska movement, often referred to as the third wave of ska. Their music is characterized by its brass-heavy arrangements, catchy melodies, and heartfelt lyrics that often explore themes of love, heartbreak, and social issues.

Throughout their career, Inspector has amassed a dedicated fan base and has sustained their status as one of the torchbearers of the Latin ska genre. Their discography is illustrious, with hits that have transcended their initial niche following to gain mainstream recognition. Songs like "Amargo Adios" and "Como Te Extraño" became anthems that resonated with audiences across diverse demographics. With albums such as "Serpientes Y Escaleras" and the live compilation "A2Í 5Uena!, Vol 2", the band both reflects on their musical journey and continues to push the boundaries of their sound. Inspector's longevity and continual evolution serve as a testament to their talent and the enduring appeal of their music. Their most recent releases, "Siempre Fingiste Amarme" and "Aunque No Sea Conmigo", showcase their ability to blend contemporary influences with their characteristic style, proving that Inspector remains at the forefront of their music scene.
