Silvestre Revueltas: Sounds of a Political Passion shows how Revueltas, strongly inspired by the Mexican and Russian Revolutions, sought ways to sound the voice of the commoners wandering the Mexican streets, as well as that of gypsy miners in Spain, Black women in the U.S. South, and slaves in Cuba in colonial times.

Roberto Kolb-Neuhaus has dedicated his life as a researcher to the study of the music of Silvestre Revueltas. He has published four books on the composer, including the catalog of his works. He designed the Foro Virtual Silvestre Revueltas homepage, and he is also the editor of the bilingual Revueltas Digital Manuscript Library. He is also the chief editor of the Revueltas Critical Edition, published by the National University of Mexico in collaboration with Peer Music. Kolb-Neuhaus has also contributed to the revival of Revueltas in his capacity as a performer and artistic director of Camerata de las Américas. His identity as a cultural promoter has led to the inclusion of Revueltas¿s music in concert programs in Europe, United States and South America.
