I'd bet Daniel Rosenberg of "Forward" knows about this - he's on FB.

You may have to go to a library to log in. JSTOR search on "Ladino labor songs" - it gets 600 results.

Just Googling Salonika socialist leader Abraham Benaroya labor songs gives a rich array of results, though if they lead to labor songs, I couldn't say.

Does anyone out there know any labor songs in Ladino (a.k.a. Judesmo, Judeo-espanyol, the longtime language of Jews expelled from Iberia)? In the early 20th century there was a lively Ladino-speaking labor movement, especially in Salonika/Thessaloniki, and I have even read a memoir of the Salonika socialist leader Abraham Benaroya, where he mentions going to Athens and teaching labor songs to the Greeks. But even after asking a couple of experts I haven't found any records of labor songs sung in Ladino.
Is there anyone out there who knows any?
