Fermin Muguruza
Muguruza was the lead vocalist for the bands "Negu Gorriak", "Kortatu" and "Dut" and between the three approximately 10 albums were released. Playing with many different musicians has not changed Muguruza's internalized message: he sings for a rebellious youth movement that uses music to vent it's protest. His grounds are evident: Muguruza experienced the last days of the Spanish dictatorship under Franco, witnessed the imprisonment of people simply for expressing their political convictions and the struggle of the Basque separatists with the Spanish government.
Today, Muguruza runs his own label, which released already his own two albums "Brigadistak Sound System" and "FM99.00 Dub Manifest" with guest singers from all over the world, among them his long-standing friend Mano Chao. His style changes from one album to the next. Muguruza´s punk history still influences his music, yet with the creation of "FM 99.00 Dub Manifest" fresh music styles like Dub, Hip Hop, Drum'n Bass, Reggae, Ska as well as the traditional Basque folk sounds were incorporated.
Fermin Muguruza - Lead voice
Fermin Muguruza was born in Irun, Spain in the early 60´s. In the last 20 years he ruled the Basque music scene with his struggling rough songs, always sung in Euskadi, the language of the Basque country.
In the 80´s Muguruza combined the revolutionary mixture of the traditional Basque folk music with a raging punk sound, and blistering lyrics opposing the Spanish rule.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
