He talks a little about how bony the order we are subject to is, which leads us to this kind of incarceration, not to mention that no one questions it. We try to communicate our ideas when someone feels identified with them. It is guided by the urgency of the situation, by expressing our view of what is happening.

What can the people of Majorca expect from this appointment? Planets?

let’s do one concert the darkest and purest rock and roll that can be found right now. We have an accumulated repertoire that allows us to present a very dynamic concert. You will love it.
