Music of the Spanish Civil War

[Resistencia]

Whilst browsing the internet, I found this site:

The site has music of the Republican side and the Internationale sung by the Red Army Choir.

I LOVE Spanish Civil War songs....so passionate and Anarchist. One of my Favourites is iAy! Carmela! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57krP7wUWWg).

Lyrics in English:
iAy! Carmela!
Long live the fifteenth brigade,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
Long live the fifteenth brigade,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
Which has covered itself with glory.
¡Ay, Carmela! ¡Ay, Carmela!
Which has covered itself with glory.
¡Ay, Carmela! ¡Ay, Carmela!

We are fighting against the Priests,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
We are fighting against the Priests,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
Legionaries and fascists.
¡Ay, Carmela! ¡Ay, Carmela!
Legionaries and fascists.
¡Ay, Carmela! ¡Ay, Carmela!

It’s our sole desire,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
It’s our sole desire,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
To be done with fascism.
¡Ay, Carmela! ¡Ay, Carmela!
To be done with fascism.
¡Ay, Carmela! ¡Ay, Carmela!

On the front lines of the Jarama,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
On the front lines of the Jarama,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
We have neither airplanes,
Tanks nor cannon.
We have neither airplanes,
Tanks nor cannon.

We’re already leaving Spain,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
We’re already leaving Spain,
Rumba la, rumba la, rumba la,
To fight on other fronts.
¡Ay, Carmela! ¡Ay, Carmela!
To fight on other fronts.
¡Ay, Carmela! ¡Ay, Carmela!

Thanks for the sites, I have been reading about the Spanish civil war lately so this aqded to the experience

"Ay Carmela!" is so great, even more whe sung by El Ultimo Ke Zierre, a spanish punk band. By the way, my other favourite is "A Las Barricadas", you can find on marxist.org in the arts section.
