Communication 32
Gora San Fermin!

Hi Folks:
Since the release on May 5th of the album "Euskal Herria Jamaika Clash", communication work has been vertiginous. Against winds and tides, we keep advancing.

Interviews
Main part of interviews done are available on Internet and some of them can also be listened to. The Radio Chango website has made a following of all interviews and has progressively published the websites addresses as interviews were put online.
My old friend Iturri, who is also from Irun, has put online on his blog a selection of interviews and has translated some texts into Spanish:

Three interviews of Fermin Muguruza
The Irun-Kingston connection

And my friends of Radio Vallekas has also put online the last interview of one hour and forty minutes on this website.

Documentary
After the broadcasting done by Euskal Telebista, the Festival In Edit of music documentaries, which will take place in Barcelona from October 31st to November 5th, has confirmed that they will show our documentary. The projection date will be communicated very soon.

Global Project
Our friends from Galicia keep selling Tee-shirts and sweat shirts of Euskal Herria Jamaika Clash. For all of you who asked me again their address, here it is: http://www.projectoglobal.com

Videos
As I already told you in the previous communication, during the month of May, some changes have been made on this website. More precisely, the Videos section offers new things and also the new video clip of "Azoka Eguna" with pictures from the recording in Jamaica.

Talka shop
Since the second week of May is open the Talka shop where you can find the last album and also all my solo albums, Kortatu and Negu Gorriak albums, the Ireki Ateak, albums with DUT and all the references edited under the Kontrkalea label.

Kiti is responsible of this new space and I send her from here all my support so as to succeed in this challenge.

Fermin Muguruza has died
On May 24th has died Fermin, my Dad. I was in "Lo Máximo" bar of Lavapiés finishing an interview with los Kikes when my Mum phoned me to say that Aita (Daddy in Basque) has been hospitalized due to a thrombosis. Evolution was lethal and he passed away after eight days.

THIS IS THE END
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
(The Doors - The end)

Farewell my most enthusiastic fan, unconditional admirer, farewell Aita, you were bigger than Robert de Niro.
Jabier told me once that the first disappointment in life happens when you realizes that you dad is not the strongest person on Earth, and I answered him using irony as an antidote against disenchantment: yes but our Dad is!
And now, in the centenary of Samuel Beckett birth, asserting the theatre of the absurd, as Vladimir and Estragon waiting for Godot, I will wait for your call on July 7th and your voice hugging me, animating me with your energy, congratulating us and shouting: Gora San Fermin!
