Kin coming to By BARBARA TANDORY Kin Lalat, a group of Guatemalan mysicians in exile from their war-ridden Central American country, is in town for a return performance after touring Europe and Central America, where they met with unqualified success. The group had just performed at the Vancouver and Winnipeg Folk Festivals and is now on tour of British Columbia before heading for Alberta. Those who remember their last summer's concert in Castlegar need no reminders to recall the spirited folk music, which is a lyric and of the OM GUATEMALA . . . The folk music: talat will be in Castlegar Aug. 7 at the Costlegar grew iP peer pea music with, Jyrics that reflect Community Complex. Guatemalan group Castlegar Their songs are diffe rs of ional energy from what we are Secustomsed to in the western world, but the underlying emotion is clear even to those not familiar with Spanish, the language of the songs. What it amounts to is love — for the land, the community, and the compatriots involved in the necessary struggie. Guatemala, the land of ancient Mayas, has known warfare and opp of its native Indians dating back to the times after Columbus when the colonista came to subdue native lands for world peasant revolution in Guatemala, a land of eternal violence. It is music with a message. The message the five folk musicians bring is somber but their medium is not, and it is received warmly by audiences everywhere who are sympathetic to the plight of Guatemalans subjected to government by violence, in grip of a military rule that opposes-eocial reform with the fire of the gun. The tour also turns public attention to the thousands of Guate- malan refugees living in poverty and fear across the border in Mexico. Kim Lalat will perform in Castlegar on Tuesday, Aug. 7 in the Castlegar Community Complex. Proceeds from the concerts will go to projects which directly assist Guatemalan refugees now living in very difficult situations in Mexico. A social will follow the concert so people here can have a chance to meet the musicians and to learn about their work and the situation of their people in Central America, Kin Lalat is one such group of refugees who form a . In modern times, successive governments have taken native land from the peasants, first for coffee plantations and later for huge corporate interests in volved in the produetion of cash crops for exports, such as sugar cane, cocoa, and cotton. Although Guatemala is a country of many Indian nations, those most affected by land dispossession and extermination are the Mayan Indians who account for more than half of the country’s seven millions inhabi- tants. They also form the majority of the refugees in Mexico. The Kin Lalat songs are full of the ancient Indian tradition, but while at least one song in their repertoire looks nostalgically to the glorious pre-Cotumbus past, the body of their music deals with the present struggles and looks to the future not the past. The fact that Kin Lalat sounds the note of the Popular Revolutionary Movement in no way takes away from the artistic value of their music, even though they openly and proclaim their involvement in the peasant revolution, which sprang from the co-operative move ment set up in the rural Guatemala in the 1950's and ‘60's with financial support and assistance from world ng’ of the r It's use their instrumients as fire arms in a battle of liberation from the Guatemalan government and its-army at war with the people Using traditional marimbas and modern guitars they sing harmonies with spoken introjections.

This movement, based on the community feeling, formed the basis of opposition to the military rule and to organizing for social and economic justice. Supporters of the peasant revolution are well-organized as a result of their experience in co-operatives and church groups. Kim Lalat is a group of political street-singers vocal only outside their own country, where the gun silences free expression and grass-roots organizing. Their mission: to explain the reality of their situation to the people in friendly democratic nations like Canada.

(255€) Students receive results The results from the June provincial exams for Grade 12 students have been mailed to them from Victoria, but diplomas have not been sent Stanley Humphries Secon dary School counsellor Jim Crawford says in a prepared release that a circular from the Ministry of Education re- ceived in June stated that the diplomas had to be signed by the secondary school prin cipal “Based on this circular, it seems that the dogwood cer tificates (diplomas) will be sent to SHSS for Mr. Far rell’s (principal Lach) sig nature and then the gradua tion certificates will be dis tributed from SHSS,” says Crawford He said no indication of an arrival date of the certi ficates was not given. “It probably will be in the middle of August at the very earliest,” Crawford specu lated Meanwhile Crawford says students who wrote in June and failed an exam and now wish to re-write, must com. plete and mail an application to the Ministry of Education before this Friday He says the application forms state that the deadline was Aug. 3, but then the ap plication forms also state the students would receive their exam results by July 23 something which did not happen. “Since the results were not mailed until Aug. 1, it seems logical that the deadline for applications to re-write will be extended,” says Crawford. Students wishing appilca tion forms can obtain them from the Castlegar School Board office on Columbia Ave Exams are to be written at Selkirk College between Aug. 20 and 24. Copies of the exam schedule are also avail able from the board office. Local man dies Harold LeRoy Moll of Castlegar passed away July 30 at the age of 76. He was born Oct. 22, 1907 at Eholt, B.C.
