SONGS OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR

Songs of the Spanish Civil War rekindles the hymnal of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, more than 2600 American volunteers who fought General Francisco Franco and his fellow fascists from Italy & Nazi Germany to defend the popularly elected Spanish Republic during the 1936-1939 conflict. These songs, recorded around the time of the war's end and later reissued in the 1960s by Folkways Records, still inspire supporters of democratic causes around the world. Singers include Pete Seeger, Tom Glazer, Butch and Bess Hawes, Woody Guthrie, Ernst Busch, and Bart van der Schelling. Includes notes by Pete Glazer in a deluxe 40 page booklet.
