Description:

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.

"Songs Of The Spanish Civil War 1: Lincoln Brigade" is a compelling CD that brings together the powerful protest songs associated with the International Brigades, particularly focusing on the American volunteers known as the Lincoln Brigade who fought in Spain during the late 1930s. Performed by legendary folk artist Pete Seeger, these tracks capture both historical significance and emotional resonance, offering listeners an authentic glimpse into one of history?s most pivotal conflicts through music. Pete Seeger was a towering figure in American folk music, renowned for his activism and timeless classics like "If I Had a Hammer" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." His contributions to social justice movements have left an indelible mark on generations of musicians and activists alike.
