Songs by Violeta Parra and Sergio Ortega inter alia with the local folkloric rhythms and social themes complete the album.

The song "Los Pueblos Americanos" by Violeta Parra denounces disputes over national boundaries and calls on Latin America to unite.

One version of his legend states that he travels to California during the gold rush from Chile; finds wealth and love then loses everything and embarks on a vindictive vendetta against those who ruined him.

Ultimately the Chilean outlaw, Murieta, is apprehended and is decapitated by what could be the KKK.

The song "Canto a la pampa" depicts the poverty and bleak existence of mining communities of the north of Chile.
