A controversy surrounding a controversial performance unfolded after a festival in Madrid. A figure linked to the event reached out on a Monday afternoon to a composer involved in the debated theme that drew attention the previous weekend. The individual joined a program on Main Terradillos to defend the lyrics of a song featuring lines such as “Let’s go back to 36.” The discussion also touched on sensitive topics, including jokes about the LGTBI community and about violent crimes against women.
The host opened the segment by asking what the creator meant by returning to a past era. The youtuber, who faced immediate defensiveness, replied that the full context could be understood only if the entire song were heard, noting that media coverage had shortened portions of it.
The exchange soon grew tense as the guest directed sharp remarks toward the journalist and the broadcaster on the field set. A comment about unblocking a social media account was followed by a defiant line from the guest, who suggested that a broader audience would see a different side once the provocations from trolls subsided. The discussion was steered back toward the core topic by the program’s presenter.
During the interview, the guest argued that the government’s appearance might resemble a historic political alignment. He criticized the current political climate, saying that a satirical frame could accompany a genuine wish to revisit the events of a certain year, should that goal be stated ironically.
The host also pressed on how the piece would affect sensitivities, and the guest responded by distinguishing between free expression and threats or violence. He recalled defending freedom of expression when a certain lyrical stance had been defended in the past, particularly in reference to actions that involved political or royal figures.
The conversation moved to another portion of the song, where the guest pointed to protests mentioned by feminists and suggested that the topic deserved further investigation, implying that there were broader debates around the portrayal of sexual violence.
The guest claimed that part of the song aimed to illustrate how media coverage could silence certain discussions, especially when related to immigration. The host pressed back, questioning whether the media fulfilled that role, while the guest paused before reiterating a belief that silencing such issues did occur, though he clarified that this program does not engage in that behavior.
A further point centered on accusations about how unvaccinated individuals had been portrayed on the show’s network. The host sought to de-escalate the moment, emphasizing that no group had been silenced and asking the guest not to repeat a claim that could inflame the discussion.
