Songs of the Shining Trenches of Combat is a musical album containing communist songs and hymns written by members of the Communist Party of Peru. Published in 1999, it was recorded clandestinely by imprisoned members and sympathizers of the CPP between 1990 and 1992 in the Miguel Castro Castro and the Lurigancho Penitentiary.[1][2]
It was distributed in 1999 by the Peru People's Movement,[3] as a form of propaganda among the masses. "With the publication of this record we hope to amplify and strengthen the understanding and support of the people's war in Peru and the political prisoners and prisoners of war." The album was distributed among Maoist groups outside of Peru, primarily through the Internet.[4][5]
The title of the album is a reference to the courtyards of the prisons where captured CPP members were held, named "Luminosas Trincheras de Combate" (Shining Trenches of Combat).[6]
