Told a funny story about this as a recognized/traditional style On New Years he [[strikethrough]] improved [[/strikethrough]] sang an improv song to a very handsome policemen. He is gay & the policemen was told he could not be offended because he was performing a traditional culture. Songs used to be about women, but now they can sing about the gov't. The messages are [[strikethrough]] not [[/strikethrough]] subtle

They have a set of songs sing anually for the entire year. The songs change from year to year. 
They perform in the local town square
singing their songs [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] political protest songs are popular now & some are quite graphic. They have the freedom to sing about harsh criticism. 
The "devils" have been performing since the 14th century. The songs were graphic (versed)sexually & then their songs were counter balanced by the appearance of angels


The other group (not the devils) also has another of singing - a throwdown between two people + these songs are not subtle

As their lyrics do not change, people can sing along with the words. The songs are written about current problems everyone can identify with. Sometimes the crowd suggests topics.
Improv song we are making poetry with 
joy

Song between Lucifer & the demon
Whatever the lyrics were, the translator refused to translate. The other two people on stage turned Red & covered their phrases
apparently he's looking for someone to sleep with (he's married)
Also included a verse about Spanish ambassador & Catalan governor. They usually parade through the town - always in a festival - in costume & then sing in on the stage. Non Catalonians also sing this music in Catalon.
