"Mallehaters go home": the German song that attacks 'Ballermann 6' tourism

PalmaA controversial song, in a tone of humor and protest, has been the response from some German singers against the protests regarding the typical tourism of Ballermann 6 and the street of Jamón, a zone linked to German party and binge-drinking tourism. The title, Mallehater go home, is already a clear statement of intent. The song mixes two concepts: on one hand, the motto 'go home' and, on the other, 'Malle', the colloquial way in which part of German society refers to Mallorca.

In short, both the title and the tune of the song essentially mean that those who should leave the Balearic Islands are the people who hate Malle tourism. Malle is a term from German tourist slang used to refer to the island and is often linked to the imagery of a tourism model based on excess and permanent partying.

The first stanza of the song reproduces comments that tourists from Mallorca receive in Germany: "Ballermann is only for asocials", "Everyone here is a radical", "Only idiots are in Mallorca". The song lashes out against these statements, vindicating this type of tourism.

The artists have already recorded several videos with signs where, accompanied by a hand showing the middle finger, they once again reinforce their message: "Those who hate German tourists are the ones who must leave the Balearic Islands".
