From Hijos de la tierra (1995). Hijos de la tierra is a studio album by Los Jaivas. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the nearest rig we use for Los Jaivas' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
