  On November 30, 2015, Jello Biafra performed at the Altavoz Fest, showcasing his enduring legacy as the frontman of the influential punk band Dead Kennedys. Prior to this performance, the band released their last studio album, "Frankenchrist," in 1985, which featured provocative tracks that pushed the boundaries of punk ethics and politics. Although the Dead Kennedys had disbanded in the late '80s, their music continued to resonate, leading to Biafra's involvement in various projects that sought to keep the band's spirit alive. The recording of Biafra performing iconic tracks like "California Über Alles" and "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" captures the band's rebellious essence and highlights their critiques of authority and social issues, reflecting how the band's influence persisted long after their original lineup had dissolved. This performance illustrates the lasting impact of the Dead Kennedys on the punk scene and music culture overall.
