. It was released in 2000 and produced by Esan Ozenki.

Gizon Armatuak is about death squads in Central American countries, Big Benat denounces globalisation and uniformisation, while in Mendebaldarketa Muguruza laments on the situation of immigrants. In Diru Espainol Zikina he ridicules the appearance of murderous historical figures such as Hernan Cortes, Pizarro and Christopher Columbus on paper money, arguing it represents the arrogance and imperialism of the Spanish government.
