"Hasta la victoria siempre, Che querido" is a powerful tribute album produced by Casa de las Américas and manufactured by EGREM-CNC in Havana. The album features revolutionary songs dedicated to Che Guevara performed by various Latin American artists, including tracks like "Che Comandante," "Hasta Siempre," "Zamba del Che," "Fusil Contra Fusil," and "Hemos Dicho Basta."
The cover design by Umberto Peña presents one of the most iconic images in revolutionary graphic design. Che Guevara's profile appears in a dramatic halftone screen treatment against a cream background, showing him in his characteristic beret, gazing forward with determination. The bold red vertical banner bearing the title "HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE, CHE QUERIDO" creates a striking contrast. The halftone dot pattern transforms the photographic image into a graphic element, making it suitable for mass reproduction—a technique that echoes the democratic ideals of revolutionary art and prefigures the countless reproductions of Che's image worldwide.
The album includes two fold-out posters printed with the complete lyrics to all songs, extending the design beyond the audio experience into a visual and textual documentation of revolutionary poetry and music. This multimedia approach was typical of Casa de las Américas' commitment to cultural education and political consciousness-raising across Latin America.
