This is one way, and probably the best, of showing people\u00b4s\u00a0\u00a0 uneasiness with our Government. But we also have some more options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Carnival has been celebrated only a few days ago, and in Cadiz, Andalusia (check <a title=\"Carnavales de C\u00e1diz\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/%C2%A1carnavales\/\">here <\/a>what are we talking about) it is very typical a kind of satiric and protest songs named \u201cchirigota\u201d. As you all are advanced students by now, because you read our posts every day, I want you to try to make an easy exercise. Listen to this one by \u201cLos del piso de abajo\u201d titled \u201cNac\u00ed en una familia\u201d (I was born in a family\u2026), talking about all the reductions we are suffering in education, and try to complete the lyrics without looking at the translation.
