Positioning of the Group Botellita de Jerez before the unfortunate death of Armando Vega-Gil who until April 2, 2019 have integrated the Group Botellita de Jerez, we want to make a series of reflections on the painful demise of our public Companion, multidisciplinary artist Armando Vega-Gil.

We joined to ideas shared by many Mexicans: banish the gender violence, overcome the sexism of men and women, promote gender equality and paid to the construction of a culture of peace and good treatment. We call our supporters of both genders to avoid provocations and polarizations.

Surface and Manichean analysis is considered part of our musical and literary work, as gloss and advocacy of gender-based violence. That no one be confused, some of our songs, and some individual texts of Armando, allude to the violence with a sarcastic, critical sense and complaint. For example, our celebrated theme alarm of cough is a critical approach to the sensationalism and disqualifying some Mexican print media language. We propose a serious reflection on suicide in general.
