Canción urgente para Nicaragua

Silvio Rodríguez wrote Canción urgente para Nicaragua in the album Unicornio, released in 1982. The song is part of an album where he started to use more instruments, especially string instruments, something he hadn't done before. In that album there is also Unicornio, his most well-known song. The song in question was written to pay tribute to the Sandinista Revolution. It was an important moment in his career, giving him more visibility in Latin America. He recorded it with an orchestra, something that made a difference. The duration is three minutes and one second. It is still a piece that is played and listened to today.
