SPANISH CIVIL WAR SONGS Who sings what?
The aim of this MUDCAT thread is to compile a list of the names of people who currently perform Spanish Civil War Songs in any language.
2011 will be the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. The performance of songs associated with the war will therefore have an added significance during the coming year. Each time a Spanish Civil War song is performed it will be a small commemoration of those who volunteered to defend the democracy of the Spanish Republic back in the 1930's.
It is hoped that this list of performers will encourage people to request the singing of these songs. It might also encourage the booking of the performers.
This is a perma thread which will mean that as information is posted I shall try to organise the thread so that it is easy to use. Below, in this initial post, there is an alphabetical TITLE LIST. Each song title in this list will also act as a clickable link leading to an alphabetical PERFORMER LIST for that particular song.This will be a list of the people who currently perform the song.
The PERFORMER LIST will also include the following basic personal and geographical information about the performer:If the performer is a Mudcat member it would be helpful if their Mudcat name is included since this would enable other Mudcat members to make contact with them via Mudcat's Personal Messaging system. However there are some privacy issues involved with this and therefore the bracketing of a Mudcat name alongside a real name will only be included if the Mudcat member submits this information themselves. For the sake of your internet security it is also unwise to include very detailed contact information like ordinary email, phone or full postal address (unless you are desperate for a penis extension or a million dollars from a Nigerian bank).
- NAME (and Mudcat name if possible)
- LOCATION a) Country and b)Town (or City or Region).
I have begun the lists using songs about which I already have some limited information but would appreciate it if gaps are filled and corrections are pointed out. Please post information about yourself or other performers who sing these songs and I would be grateful if you post the essential information in the style and format which I have used in the lists below because I will then be able to cut and paste rather than retype. The essential information will be harvested from the submitted posts and included in the two lists here at the top of the thread But, please feel free to post other interesting information, comment or chat. I shall leave all the contributing posts in place, un-edited unless they are disruptive or offensive.
