Also included are images of the temporary takeover of a small village called Matías by guerrillas under the command of blond officer Manuel Boronato.  The guerrillas are shown at a small company store, enjoying (for the first time) a juke box, as well as local nighttime activities, such as a vigil held in honor of the Virgin of Charity, with peasants of the region.  There is one print of a group of armed rebels listening to a woman playing the piano that was taken in the first week of January 1959 according to note on the back of the print.  There is also one print of Batista’s helmeted forces appearing to attack a rebel hideout.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
