A s´estiu tots a Mallorca

Oprimits' song "A s´estiu tots a Mallorca" is a satirical and critical take on the summer tourism boom in Mallorca, a popular Spanish island. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the island's transformation during the tourist season, highlighting the influx of visitors and the resulting cultural and environmental degradation. The song opens with an invitation to famous and flamboyant individuals, setting the tone for a critique of the superficial and hedonistic aspects of tourism.

The lyrics describe the stereotypical tourist behaviors, such as excessive drinking and rowdy nightlife, embodied by the 'hooligan' and 'guiri' (a colloquial term for foreign tourists). This portrayal underscores the clash between the local culture and the invasive tourist culture, which often disregards the island's heritage and traditions. The mention of the 'animal de nit' (night animal) and the 'alemany' (German tourist) further emphasizes the disruptive presence of tourists who come for sun and beach but leave a trail of disrespect and chaos.

The song also touches on the environmental impact of mass tourism. References to the scarcity of potable water and the need for desalination plants highlight the strain on natural resources. The lyrics lament the loss of cultural heritage and the unchecked urbanization, with too many cars, asphalt, and hotels replacing the island's natural beauty. The repeated chorus, urging everyone to come to Mallorca, ironically contrasts with the underlying message of degradation and overpopulation. Oprimits uses this song to voice their concerns about the unsustainable growth of tourism and its detrimental effects on Mallorca's environment and culture.
