It was during his journey from Kortatu to Negu Gorriak that Fermin Muguruza set down his roots in those swampy lands of rock-rap-reggae. Mutant substrate, the untameable material for words to flourish and for verses to creep up, seeking food in order to survive uncertainty. Deep roots, voices chasing answers. A question, another front opened up. A truth uncovered, one more lie beaten down. The cycle of life. Listen, pay attention. Lights and shadows in the terminal of confusion. Frustration is a poison which has not yet been able to silence hope, but it hurts. You shouldn‚t bite on the hook of false prophets of spectacle, neither bow drunkenly down before cynicism. Communication. A question, another reason to carry on. Who knows the nature of failure? A song, another manifestation against impotence. Although the tearing and rendering destroys the heart, the veins will never dry up. The cycle of life.

Fermin Muguruza talks of life in his latest "In-komunikazioa" album. Coded messages about stories from the soul, his soul. Direct messages about stories from the world, our world. Reasons, communications without the middle- men. His third post-Negu Gorriak album is a thrilling account about insatiable needs. There is a longing fulfilled, going further with that mutant substrate of R & B scenting Jamaican breath. These are the voices of Begoña Bang Matu and Eva Reina (as well as the hip-hop rhythm of Arianna Puello), manna from heaven in the reggae and drum'n'bass style with Joseba Tapia‚s trikitixa, the scratch from DZ and the wind section from Eric Herrera, Raynald Colom and Gorka Benítez. It is a need Fermin has sated by taking rock to rock'n'roll, rap to soul and reggae to drum'n'bass, via the sounds of dub, and getting us all up dancing. This Kaki Arkarazo co-production is a meld of all these in a musical
celebration of sense and sensitivity. But there is another, not strictly musical, need and which is twofold and heat-forged in the words of the songs: firstly and not surprisingly given Fermin‚s career, it is a cry to the heavens about the current legalistic perversions handed down by the culture of the powers-that- be with a judge‚s racist rulings hatefully prohibiting the right to dissent and to be the different. Our laid-back attitudes have got us used to ignoring these Franco-inherited fascist ticks in the comfort of thinking that the rhetoric of good intentions might result in action. We need to rescue for the future the vanquished of the past such as Leonard Peltier, for whom the truth was cut down forever. Finally, that other, more personal, need, careering zombie-like through the most private of angsts, in songs such as "Zubizuria", "Bidartean", "In-komunikazioa" and "Hasperena". And it is here that the "In- komunikazioa" CD shows itself to be an important work, in words that speak from lips that bleed because their kisses do not have anything to caress. Uncomplicated verses to feel, be it but pain, above all pain. The need to feel in order to understand that melancholy that grips you so on smelling that aroma of coffee. The need to know the where, the when and the why, to know what happened, what is happening, what will happen. Life.
