A few months and days later, on July 7, in San Fermín, Martutene escaped from Sarrionandia and Pikabea, inside certain enclosures. Since then, I have been banned from performing on stage in Martutene and other prisons. Today, November 16, 2025, I returned to Martutene to give a concert with my friends. Same terrace. The same thirst for satisfaction. It looks like he’s singing Sarri, sarri he has been banned from prison for the past 40 years. Today we are all singing out loud! This is the only battle that is lost, that is put aside. Prisoners without full amnesty“, celebrated Muguruza.
Martutene 1985-2024. Debekatuta omen zegoen “Sarri, Sarri” entzutea, abestea, dantzatzea, ihesaldia izan zenetik, baina gaur madarikazioa apurtu dugu.
