Why It Matters
The group became known in summer 2024 after releasing a song dedicated to Gabriel Le Senne, reacting to an incident where the president of the Balearic Parliament tore up a photograph of activist Aurora Picornell. With Machirulos they continue to use art as a platform to challenge harmful behaviours and promote equality.
