Amaury Febles' cover design captures the monumental scale and collective fervor of revolutionary Cuba through a dramatic nighttime photograph of the Plaza de la Revolución. The front cover shows the José Martí Memorial tower illuminated against a dark sky with spectacular fireworks or searchlights shooting upward, while thousands of Cuban citizens gather below waving red flags bearing revolutionary slogans. The crowd extends across the entire plaza, creating a sea of humanity united in celebration. The bold yellow and white typography for "MARCHAS Y CANCIONES REVOLUCIONARIAS" (Revolutionary Marches and Songs) spans the bottom of the cover in a strong horizontal band, echoing the monumentalist aesthetic of socialist graphic design.
The back cover provides a contrasting daytime view of the same memorial tower, its stark modernist architecture rising against a pale blue sky with palm trees and José Martí's statue visible at its base. This dual perspective—nighttime mass gathering and solitary daytime monument—reinforces the album's dual function as both documentation of revolutionary fervor and preservation of Cuba's political anthems for future generations.
This compilation album brings together essential revolutionary songs and marches that defined Cuba's post-1959 musical identity. The diverse track listing includes "Marcha del 26 de Julio" (commemorating the attack on the Moncada Barracks), Silvio Rodríguez's "Fusil Contra Fusil" with the Banda del G1 con Los Galantes, "Guerrillero" by E.G. Mantel and J.A. Robazo, the literacy campaign anthem "Alfabetización," Carlos Puebla's iconic "Hasta Siempre" (dedicated to Che Guevara), and various other revolutionary hymns. The album features performances by multiple orchestras directed by R. Somavilla, Manuel Duchesne Cuzán conducting the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, and Gonzalo Roig's Banda Municipal de Conciertos. This collection served as an essential musical document of the Revolution, distributed widely to schools, workplaces, and homes throughout Cuba to reinforce revolutionary consciousness and collective identity through song.
