The musical legacy of a night that will live on for years. The 40th anniversary roar.
Under the title “Akelarre Antifascista” (which literal translation would be: "Anti-Fascist Witches' Coven", could be loosely translated as Anti-Fascist Celebration), in a reference to the legendary Akelarre, a wild gathering of Basque witches, this album distils all the intensity, sweat and collective excitement of a night when thousands of voices joined together to celebrate not just a career, but a way of seeing art as resistance.
On 15th February 2025, Madrid saw more than just a concert: it was a collective ritual, an anti-fascist celebration in which thousands of voices came together as one to celebrate the tenacity of a voice that never surrendered.
Four decades after lighting the fuse of combative rock in Euskal Herria, the Basque Country, Fermin Muguruza chose the capital of Spain, a city that closed its doors to him so many times and that he has described as “the heart of the beast”, to make the definitive record of his 40th anniversary tour.
The result is “Akelarre Antifascista”, a live album that distils the history of a musical and political resistance that has spanned generations, languages and frontiers.
The concert, sold out with 15,000 people, was an explosion of energy, memory and future. Right from the first chord, the Sports Palace of Madrid became an open setting, a free territory where bodies, rhythms, languages and flags mixed freely.
