Communication 030

Hi Folks:
I am back home writing this communication from the Mosku district in Irun. The last days in Jamaica were dedicated to mix the songs but we also received the visit of different musicians who have finally participated to the project. I do not exaggerate when I say that different collaborations with U-Roy, Luciano, Lisa Dainjah and Masta Blasta were really exciting.
Last week-end, I work on mastering the new album at Translab studio in Paris with the sound engineer Pompon Filkestein and I can already give you more information about the album:

Title: EUSKAL HERRIA JAMAIKA CLASH

Release date: May 4th 2006
Record company: TALKA Records (yes, this is my new brand which will go through self-management)
My friend Carlos Undergroove is in charge of the design that will come along with the songs while in another front, I work with the ITP people on a documentary about all the experience lived in Jamaica. You will soon have more details. Ah! The version recorded in Kingston is the mythic song “La línea del frente” of Kortatu, written in 1986, and changed after 20 years in a “Frontline reggae” adaptation. MORE FIRE!

Big hugs and take care!
Fermin Muguruza

Next communication: April 1st 2006
