La Marsellesa de los borrachos

During the summer of 1961, the group Cantacronache, made up of a group of young anthropologists from Italy, traveled clandestinely through northern Spain with the idea of recording the popular songs of the antifranquist resistance to disseminate them internationally. They recorded almost 3 kilometers of tape that were collected in 'Canti della nuova resistenza spagnola'. The Franco regime tried to discredit the authors by distributing a pamphlet that mocked them with the title "The Marseillaise of Drunks." Ultimately, the recordings were censored, and now, more than 60 years later, Pablo Gil Rituerto, the director of the documentary, has met with people from both the past and the present, including Emilio Jona, 92 years old, the last living member of Cantacronache. His goal is to reconstruct oral memory and retrace the journey through the history that Emilio recounts and through the sound archives of the unpublished recordings that musicians like Nacho Vegas, María Arnal, or Amorante reinterpret the songs.
