In the album, the Chilean group Inti-Illimani and the Chilean musician Patricio Castillo participate.[2] Patricio Castillo belonged, until 1971, to Quilapayún, another famous Chilean band, which he re-entered definitively several years later. Most of the songs were composed by Víctor Jara, with the exception of «Aquí me quedo» (Here I stay), composed with Patricio Castillo.

Versions

This album has several editions, with different covers, name changes and addition of songs. The original cover of Tiempos que cambian (Times that change), included a photograph of Víctor Jara in black and white, in profile, looking to the right.[3] That image was later used in 2001, by WEA Chile, for the edition of the Antología musical (Musical anthology).
