Granite And Drop In Stoves

The old national anthem in

The first two stanzas of the original lyrics of the anthem of Guatemala , composed by José Joaquín Palma in 1896, said:

Guatemala, happy! ... and your interests
ferocious bloodshed not the executioner;
nor is cowards who submit to their yoke,
or tyrants who deride you.


If tomorrow your sacred soil profanes
foreign invasion,
your beautiful stained with blood flag
will shroud the bold .

But that letter was amended at the request of President Jorge Ubico and the modification was made by José María Bonilla Ruano in 1934. The recording, which can be heard on gramophone thanks to the extraordinary Musicians Museum Invisibles is the original national anthem.

Thus, as in the video, you could hear the anthem in the early twentieth century. My mother recalls that her grandmother's house had one and I wonder, where would you go to stop? Who would say, take out the garbage from here!, And sent to pull the gramophone?

Yesterday I visited the Museum of the Musicians invisible thanks to a very pleasant and educational tour organized by the Museo Popol Vuh .
