Jartos D'Aguantar

Reincidentes' song "Jartos D'Aguantar" is a powerful anthem that channels the frustration and discontent of the common people. The lyrics are a series of rhetorical questions that highlight various social and political issues, from the trivial to the deeply serious. The song opens by questioning why so many people are obsessed with soap operas and why young people feel the need for their 'ration' of something, possibly hinting at consumer culture or escapism. It then moves on to more serious matters, such as the amount of money in the rock and roll industry and the presence of corrupt police officers.

The song doesn't shy away from addressing global issues either. It questions why so many Africans drown in the sea, a clear reference to the migrant crisis. It also touches on the prevalence of security jobs, the protection of the wealthy by the military, and the local political corruption symbolized by 'caciques' or local bosses. The chorus serves as a unifying cry, describing the act of seeking refuge in bars with friends as a way to cope with the overwhelming sense of injustice and frustration. The phrase "jartos d'aguantar" translates to 'fed up with enduring,' encapsulating the song's core message of being tired of putting up with societal wrongs.

The song continues to question various societal norms and injustices, such as the plight of young recruits, the existence of hunting reserves while children go uneducated, and the paradox of the poor being the most generous. The mention of the scarcity of whales in the sea adds an environmental dimension to the song's critique. The repeated chorus reinforces the idea of camaraderie and shared frustration, making it clear that the song is a rallying cry for those who are 'fed up with enduring' the myriad injustices they face.
