Kaña

The song 'Kaña' by Zirrosis is a powerful anthem against societal intolerance and discrimination based on appearance and beliefs. The lyrics narrate two distinct yet similar incidents where the protagonists face rejection and aggression simply because they do not conform to societal norms. The first scenario describes an attempt to enter a nightclub, only to be met with hostility from a bouncer who judges them based on their appearance. The second scenario occurs in a small town where they are denied entry to a restaurant, again facing aggression from the establishment's owner and his associates. These experiences are emblematic of the everyday fascism that the band criticizes.

Zirrosis uses the term 'kaña' as a call to action against those who oppress others for their differences. The repeated chorus, 'Kaña a los que nos quieren pisar por nuestra forma de vestir o de pensar,' translates to 'Fight back against those who want to trample us for our way of dressing or thinking.' This line encapsulates the band's message of resistance and defiance against intolerance. The song suggests that such ignorance and intolerance are born out of a lack of understanding and are perpetuated by those in power.

The song also highlights the broader issue of societal fascism, which the band describes as 'fascismo cotidiano' or 'everyday fascism.' This term refers to the subtle, pervasive forms of discrimination and control that people face daily. Zirrosis points out that this form of fascism is not just an isolated incident but a widespread issue that stems from those in positions of power. The song's raw energy and rebellious spirit resonate with anyone who has ever felt marginalized or oppressed, making it a rallying cry for freedom and acceptance.
