## 🎭 About Cádiz Carnival & Chirigotas

Cádiz Carnival is one of the oldest and most unique in Europe – a mix of Venetian influence and centuries of Andalusian flair. It’s not just about costumes and parades: it’s about music, satire, and social commentary.
At the heart of it all are the chirigotas – small musical groups that sing in harmony, with guitars and percussion, delivering biting humour and local gossip wrapped in rhyme and melody. Some perform on the grand stage of Teatro Falla in the official competition, while others, like Los Indiosingracia, take to the streets, bars, and small venues, bringing carnival energy directly to the people.
Chirigotas are known as “the voice of the people” – making fun of politicians, poking at scandals, and celebrating daily life in Cádiz. With romanceros (storytelling verse), pasodobles, and popurrís (medleys), they create an unforgettable mix of theatre, music, and comedy.
So when you see Showmancero, you’re not just watching a show – you’re experiencing Cádiz’s most authentic cultural tradition.
