Album Notes & Community Reviews

This monumental Argentine jazz suite was composed as a direct, seething reaction to the oppressive military dictatorship of Juan Carlos Ongan铆a. Blending avant-garde big band arrangements with fiery free-jazz solos and spoken-word poetry, it was swiftly banned by the government shortly after its release. It stands as a harrowing, essential document of Latin American political protest music.
