Luz Maria Ayala and Antonio Ayala

“A peasant mother worked and worked in the fields. Eight months pregnant, what does it matter to the boss!  Bent over, on her knees, unable to stand up. A child already cries in her womb before being born. It’s over! The harvest is over. A harvest for the boss that a mother reaped with her labor and sweat.”

– A song by Rosa Martha Zárate Macías, sung by Luz Maria Ayala
