Chirigota is a genre of Spanish choral folksong originating in the Province of Cádiz.
[2][3] It has been described as a vehicle for gossip and public comment, especially of a political or moral, and sometimes prurient, nature.
[1] Suppressed during the Francoist State until 1948, along with carnival in general, there has been a massive resurgence of the art-form since his death and the re-establishment of democracy.
In 2012 an entire repertoire of the chirigota group "Los Gordillos" was devoted to Juan Manuel Sánchez Gordillo, the anarcho-communist mayor of Marinaleda, a utopian village in central Andalusia.
The twelve members were dressed as the mayor, Juan Manuel Sánchez Gordillo, and offered songs[4] about supermarket raids led by him that summer to dramatize the increasing poverty in the countryside.
