It was produced and distributed in 1999 by the Popular Movement of Peru,[3] as a form of propaganda among the masses. "With the publication of this record we hope to amplify and strengthen the understanding and support of the people's war in Peru and the political prisoners and prisoners of war." The album was distributed among Maoist groups outside of Peru, primarily through the Internet.[4][5]

The title of the album is a reference to the courtyards of the prisons where captured CPP members were held, named "Luminosas Trincheras de Combate" (Shining Trenches of Combat).[6]
