Songs predominantly from the band Kin-Lalat, a group affiliated with the URNG guerrilla organisation which fought against the military dictatorship in Guatemala. Tracks have been digitised from the records "Maíz y Fusil", "Florecerás, Guatemala", "Policromia", and the cassette tape "Nsqarna", with an additional track from Sabiá's "Formando Un Puente".

Compiling a video like this has been a dream of mine since I first made a video in honour of the Guatemalan struggle 7 years ago. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVYC9Pd2o_g ) At the time I could only find the second song included in this video and I always felt it was a terrible injustice to the Guatemalan struggle that more songs from it were not more readily available. At last this dream project has finally come to light.
