Unser Kulturbureau veranstaltet gerade mit Eurem Trinkgeld ab und zu Konzerte in der Beiz - und vermutlich im Sommer auch wieder draussen...

Der traditionell für solche Anlässe zuständigen "Zischtigmusig" wurde in den Corona-Wirren finanziell leider seitens der IGRF der Stecker gezogen vor drei Jahren; seither arbeitet unser Kulturbureau an einer Wiederbelebung des Formates. Der Ziegel möchte weiterhin eine Bühne bieten für unbekannte und lokale Musiker:innen - wir haben das ja auch während 40 Jahren recht legendär so durchgezogen... also, zeigt bitte etwas Solidarität mit den Bemühungen des Ziegels um kulturelle Vielfalt. Besucht einfach unsere Konzerte in der Beiz! danke.

Fermin Muguruza will celebrate his 40 years on stage with a huge international tour

This 40th anniversary comes at a special moment, since the Spanish media and judicial right has once again launched its offensive against Muguruza. Faced with this, Muguruza will respond by claiming his career and legacy.
The artist and film director highlights that these events will be more than just a concert, as they will serve to use music as a tool of expression and social change. The public will be able to enjoy different songs that have become icons of Basque and international music.
"I want these two concerts to be a party against censorship and the attacks from the extreme right that we are suffering lately around the world. There are the cases of the director and five teachers from the board of directors of a school in Valencia who have been accused of painting a mural that pays tribute to my creative career, the attacks on Itziar Ituño or the Athletic players for singing 'Sarri, Sarri', Muguruza explained.

Muguruza has been defined as one of the most influential and charismatic figures in the Basque music scene in different sectors. He began his musical career by creating the music group Kortatu with his brother Iñigo. Kortatu disbanded after releasing their last album exclusively in Basque, as they announced they would do once they recovered their language which was forbidden during their childhood under the military dictatorship of General Franco Muguruza then formed the group Negu Gorriak with his brother Iñigo, Kaki Arkarazo, Mikel Txopeitia and Mikel Anestesia. The group was one of the most important on the scene in the 90s.

After the dissolution of Negu Gorriak, Muguruza began his solo career, taking reggae and dub as a base and mixing Latin rhythms or elements of rock, hip hop, funk, soul and drum and bass.
Muguruza has collaborated with artists such as Manu Chao, Banda Bassotti, Amparanoia, Tijuana No!, Todos Tus Muertos, Albert Pla, Zebda, Desorden Público, Reincidentes, Angelo Moore de Fishbone, Raúl Refree, Obrint Pas, El Columpio Asesino, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Toots, U-Roy, Rita Marley, Peret and dozens of other artists throughout these four decades.
