  1. 1. Canto Generale

    A sweeping, epic poetic chronicle that traces the physical and spiritual landscapes of Latin America from pre-Columbian times to modern struggles, blending myth, history and elemental nature imagery to celebrate indigenous cultures, workers and the land while unflinchingly denouncing colonialism, exploitation and imperialism; its songs shift between elegy, hymn and battle cry to demand solidarity, resistance and a hopeful vision of liberation for the continent.
