Poemas Al Che
Poemas Al Che is a significant two-record Cuban release from 1977, featuring spoken word poetry dedicated to Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Released by Casa De Las Américas, the album presents notable Cuban and Latin American poets—including Nicolás Guillén, Luis Vidales, and René Depestre—reading their works. These are powerful poetic testimonies and political reflections on Guevara's legacy, ranging from direct political statements to lyrical meditations. The voices carry genuine weight and emotion, documenting intellectual artistic responses to revolutionary iconography from Cold War-era Cuba. More than music, this is essential cultural and historical documentation capturing a specific political moment through poetry. A rare and compelling artistic artifact from 1970s Latin America.
