“Une chanson couvée dans les pulsions de la terre de l’Amérique, c’est à dire, avec les instruments les plus authentiques de l’identité Américaine et résister activement à la musique commerciale sans se laissant séduire par le chant du cygne de la machine impérialiste. Créer l’espace mental et culturel à la Révolution, à l’épanouissement des forces progressistes de l’humanité, à la justice sociale, à une paix entre les hommes.”
