Found this today while researching something entirely different--as usual: link


"Songs of the Spanish Civil War, Vol. 1: Songs of the Lincoln Brigade, Six Songs for Democracy
Pete Seeger and Group / Ernst Busch and Chorus FW05436 / FH 5436

The Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) was initially an armed conflict between a democratically elected government and a revolt by far right-wing Spanish military officers led by Francisco Franco, who were supported by the fascist governments of Italy and Nazi Germany. Anti-fascist supporters flocked to Spain to help the beleaguered government, including over 3,000 American volunteers who formed the Lincoln Battalion of the International Brigades. Originally recorded in the 1940s, this album contains songs in English and Spanish by folk balladeer Pete Seeger, Tom Glazer, and Bess and Butch Hawes and in German by the anti-fascist singer Ernst Busch. The recording was re-released in 1961. Extensive liner notes include a history of the conflict and song lyrics.

In 2014 this release and FW05437 Songs of the Spanish Civil War, Vol. 2 were re-issued in full with new liner notes as SFW40188 Songs of the Spanish Civil War, Volumes 1 & 2."

Sounds just the ticket for all you Old Line Reds--or at least, Anti-Fascists!

Few things help get me "up" for game like authentic music of the time and subject, and this is such an obvious choice for those so inclined.

Digital download available, and only $10.00 USD, so how can you lose?

Standing in for Tango in this instance,

When one of her classmates at nursery spoke in Spanish my four year old grand daughter started singing "Viva la Quince Brigda". For some reason everybody thought it might have something to do with me! I really can't think why. Tries and fails to look innocent.

The CD's are really good, although I have mostly Christy Moores versions on my MP3 player.

"Remember the war against Franco
That's the kind where each of us belongs
Though he may have won all the battles
We had all the good songs"
