BASS-QUE CULTURE
Fermin Muguruza
(Euskal Herria Jamaika Clash)
Synopsis
Fermin Muguruza has reached the summit of his current personal project of protest with roots, creating a bridge between Jamaica and the Basque Country.
With a camera in his hand, he has directed this documentary, which, with the basic plot of the recording of his latest record “Euskal Herria Jamaika Clash” (a collection of new songs with the support of some of the best musicians and singers of the syncopated Jamaican scene, at Tuff Gong studios in Kingston, the Marleys’ HQ, and at Big Yard, Shaggy’s crew’s operation centre) offers a social, conspiratorial, close-up look at the links between small nations; in this case, two island-peoples, tenacious in their struggle to stay alive and retain their dignity; in the face of colonialism at first and now in the face of global uniformity which demands they give up their unique political and cultural rebelliousness.
Various persistent axes give us information about what music means as a tool for transformation “We’ll free the People with music”, about Jamaican sound as a first-level catalyser of Muguruza’s long career in music; he vindicates and revisits the 20 year-old Kortatu song “La línea del frente”, where he sang “Siempre me ha interesado esa jerga que emplean los rastas” (I’ve always been interested by that slang rastas use), the sonority and mysteriousness of the Basque language and the origin and evolution of reggae music, structural violence and Yankee interventionism, life in the ghetto and an encounter of cultures.
With a guerrilla-style far from conventional image and sound edition, he achieves a human testimony with a feeling of extraordinary proximity. U-Roy, Luciano, Toots, Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths, all the music and all the people taking part in this adventure salute this culture clash between Jamaica and the Basque Country; “Bass Culture” converging with Basque Culture, melting into a ceremony of hugs celebrating life through music, denouncing injustice. A solid bridge, calling out to other islands in the search for a new planetary, diverse, archipelago of islands united in solidarity.
