A singular carnival is preparing to sing a coupé in front of a house surrounded by a audience plagued by Guiris that throws papers incessantly. Everyone records him with their mobiles. “This is a bit strong, but I’m not going to self -centered,” he releases them. Then a couplé on the succession of accidents by the pilot Carlos Sainz. Receive some boo, but he rebels against those who reject black humor and decide to sing it again. It is then that four men appear with the faces covered by large white capirotes. They are members of the Kux Klan Klan, a supremacist sect whose mission is to end the black humor in the Carnival of Cádiz. If they will be achieved or will not be known on February 28, the day of the final of the Official Group Contest of the Falla Theater.
“The party is over!” Says a member of the sect to the transgressive carnival. “What alvis?” He replies trembling. Thus starts the parody of the so -called Gago Quartet, directed by Ángel Gago, and formed by Chicho, Figue, Emilio Tello and Miguel Moreno, the latter as an author. It is, perhaps, one of the most form in the form of the Carnival of Cádiz, in a modality, that of the quartet, in severe crisis in the adult category. The numbers reflect it. If this year 58 troupes, 51 chirigotas and 19 choirs are presented, there are only five quartets. But the health of this group is unquestionable with repertoires loaded with irony, large doses of bad milk and a lot of self -reflection on the party’s own operation.
Last year this same quartet under the name of ‘Punk, circus and anarchy, the fight continues’, which was second prize, got with the dew and left some mockery about the Betis Joaquin player who cost him the virality of the answers in his social networks of the footballer’s wife. Its director, Ángel Gago, usually harangue, half jokingly joke seriously, on foreign groups and usually denounces a progressive attempt to colonize a purely local party. The new idea, this year, this racist sect that wants to move the black humor of the carnival away, is pure sarcasm, pure irony, about whom, like the one who puts fences to the field, they want to limit the infinite capabilities of humor in Cádiz.
The Ku Klux Klan Klan acted on the second day of a contest that started on January 23. The intensity of this contest, which will run into its preliminary phase until February 13, makes each day add a new reflection or self -analysis on the Carnival concept itself. And that some firm groups candidates for the first awards are uncovered. It happened last Wednesday with ‘Las Ratas’, the troupe with which the acclaimed author Jesus Welcome returned to the category of adults since in 2017 he won with ‘The Irrational’. His new idea is a severe criticism of the expulsion suffered by Cadiz and Gaditanos for tourism. These rats are the neighbors of Cádiz, who live in the subsoil of a city conquered by visitors.
In the midst of a huge vocal and musical deployment, welcome draws a deep message on the effects of touristry with some ideas taken from its brilliant hat, such as putting music and rhythm to article 47 of the Constitution, which governs the right of all The Spaniards have a decent housing. The author has also returned self -reflective, such as the Gago quartet. Is the Carnival a left -wing party or can it allow to give equidistant ideas with ultra -right and power?
He sang it in his second pasodoble: “Know that the carnival was conquest and shout of the working class. You like what, the Soniquete of 3×4 Chirigotero, and my soul falls when I contemplate, full of facades, the chicken coop, ”sings the troupe in this letter. “I know very well that there are aseptic authors, geriatric voice and diseases, and others that under ambiguity, for your applause win, commune with your truths. What a danger is being a demon poet, your hate speech, your Spain and your truth. ”
The Carnival of Cádiz has always been a critical voice against the politician in general. This week the Minister of Transportation, Óscar Puente, sat in the box of authorities and one of the first letters he had to listen called thieves to all ministers. There have already been several letters against the management of the DANA of Valencia with general and left attacks. And some letter against Pedro Sánchez that surprised by the disturbing virulence. The Roteño singer Antoñito Molina, in the year in which he will proclaim the party, caught attention in a couple that started with the shot to Trump’s ear. “They have hired the sniper to come to Spain, although it fails more than a cane shotgun. He is targeting the president, hopefully he now points in his ear and gives him on his forehead. ”
In a contest with a total of 133 groups, it is difficult to highlight every day. Repeated ideas, land already traveled, and several easily forgettable generalities abound. At the moment, the naturalness of ‘Los Inhumanos’, a chirigota that goes from those who bought a costume in a bazae and throw themselves into the streets of Cádiz to make a bottle during the carnival. Just this week the Plenary of Cádiz approved an institutional statement to try to stop the trips that promote approaching the city relating it to alcohol. Or the chirigota ‘Los Calaíta’, a huge work of interpretation of the group to get into the skin of the humorist Eugenio, an example of containment and minimalism, almost the antipodes of the continuous hyperbole that is the Carnival of Cádiz.
There are many things to live. It is awaited with expectation what José Guerrero Roldán ‘Yuyu’ will bring, another prodigal son of the carnival who returns after years of absence. Author of great chirigotas such as ‘The last to find out’ or ‘Tampax Goyescas’, it remains to be seen how it adapts to this new carnival filtered by the sensitivity of social networks and the politicization of messages. And it is known how the new authors of Jona, Manuel Cornejo or Piru respond, called to be the referents of the generational relief, in a year in which the absence of Antonio Martínez Ares feels. And for staying, there is also what comes out of a self -proclaimed chirigota, which has announced that it goes to the failure to launch messages against vaccines and the ideology of climate change, taking advantage of the media speaker. There are many tangos, pasodobles and coplés for carnival to follow its annual psychoanalysis therapy. Analyzing the world, but also itself.
