The Musical Guerrilla Army (Spanish: Ejército Musical Guerrillero) was a British musical group formed by the Communist Party of Peru-Shining Path. The group was founded by Adolfo Olaechea in 1991 as part of the Shining Path's international propaganda arm.[1] The EMG was made up of various Latin American musicians (especially Peruvian) residing in Great Britain and would typically play both folk and revolutionary songs at yearly May Day events in London.[2] Such music included Flor de Retama, El Hombre, and Jovaldo.[3]
