Piranha (www.Let's avoid the same old shit once and for all."Both men also have a similar take on rallying listeners against the bland oppression of globalization.While Muguruza's lyrics are filled with references relevant to young Basque listeners, the music is a hybrid of international styles such as reggae, rap and even a bit of electronica."Irudikeriak" which uses the wooden percussion instrument called the txalaparta.Looking for More Information?No reproduction of any part of this page or its associated files is permitted without express written permission. |
