Los managers

Kiko Veneno's song "Los managers" offers a humorous and satirical look at the music industry, particularly focusing on the often chaotic and absurd experiences of dealing with managers and the challenges faced by musicians. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a band managed by two individuals from Huelva, one of whom is balding and the other sporting a ponytail. The song immediately sets a tone of confusion and darkness, with people questioning the strange circumstances surrounding the band and their managers.

The narrative continues with the managers' attempt to modernize the band, only to end up with a group described as "conjunto estiércol" (a manure ensemble), highlighting the poor quality and mismanagement. This part of the song underscores the often misguided efforts of managers who may not fully understand or appreciate the artistic vision of the musicians they represent. The mention of nearly having their instruments stolen adds a layer of absurdity and misfortune to the band's journey.

The song also touches on the logistical nightmares of touring, as the band is driven to Chipiona in a Mercedes belonging to one of the manager's fathers. The concert itself is a disaster, with poor sound quality leading the audience to speculate whether the issues are due to alcohol or pollen. The final verse introduces a cast of characters, each with their quirks, further emphasizing the chaotic and often comical nature of the band's experiences. Through "Los managers," Kiko Veneno uses humor and satire to critique the music industry, shedding light on the often overlooked and absurd challenges faced by musicians.
