Los Torogoces de Morazán are a Salvadoran folk music group formed by members of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) in 1981 during the Salvadoran Civil War.[1]
Their music was broadcast by Radio Venceremos which also formed in 1981, and was declared the official music of the revolution.[2]
None of the members had formal music training. They were in part inspired by Carlos Mejía Godoy.[3]
Legacy
Founding member Sebastián Torogoz continues to make music, now in response to contemporary Salvadoran politics, particularly regarding Nayib Bukele.[4]
In 2025, a biographical study, Sonic Rebellion in El Salvador, was published on the group by OtherForms.[5]
