You'll find a good selection here: http://personales.ya.com/altavoz/canciones.htm

They're a fair mix - anarchist, leftist, republican.

There is a classic cassette that has some recordings I think that form exile. And "a las barricadas" version was recorded in RDA.
Now that casette is in cd format edited by Anselmo Lorenzo Fundation (spanish cnt).

Also they published another classic cassete of "argentinian anarchist songs" ("la verbena anarquista" is there). And another one of italian anarchist songs.

The spanish revolution's one can be finded in the net as "corale durruti" or "canciones anarquistas".

And also can be direct-downloaded from the net from here:

And here is an emule compilation file with different stuff:

There is also a lot of pop,rock and punk versions of the most popular anarchist song in 1936: "a las barricadas".

Any similar english/irish/scottish,... material? I know the wobblie songs (more from UEA, i suppose), the Chumbawamba's release "english rebel songs", and nothing else.

Does anyone know who corale durruti are or where they're from? I have the song collection, which is excellent, but have't found any information on the group.

I think it was a corale group of spanish cnt members in the exile, France I suppose, (40's, 50's, 60's?????), I'm only sure that doesn't exist anymore, doesnt' exist for decades, I mean.

-------------------

I repeat. What about english/scottish/irish,... rebel songs????
