The phrase comes from Colombian satirical music associated with Velandia, where Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo, one of Colombia's most prominent bankers and businessmen, is addressed directly in everyday Spanish. Saquemelo tantico roughly means take a little bit off me, a complaint anyone dealing with charges and deductions can understand. The clip circulates online in Colombia as a short, repeatable reaction rather than a full song excerpt, shared in chats and edited videos whenever a payment, a bank, or an authority figure becomes the punchline of the joke.
About this sound
Short Colombian meme clip of the sung phrase 'Sarmiento Angulo, saquemelo tantico' from Velandia, used as a funny reaction to taxes, banks and bills.
This short clip captures a sung, half-chanted Spanish phrase naming Colombian banker Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo and asking him to ease up just a little. The delivery is playful and exaggerated, with the rhythm of a protest chant turned into a joke. It lands because the request sounds polite and small while the target is famously powerful and wealthy. Listeners instantly read it as teasing frustration rather than anger, which makes the sound useful for punctuating moments about money, debt, fees, or getting squeezed by someone in charge.
