From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
José Antonio Labordeta Subías (10 March 1935, Zaragoza, Aragón). The “Gran Enciclopedia Aragonesa 2000” (Large Aragonese Encyclopedia) say that he is “The most important Aragonese singer-songwriter”. He began singing in an attempt to give more relevance to his poetry. His songs are anthems, not only in Aragón, but all around Spain. Poetic songs like “Aragón”, “Canto a la Libertad” (Song for Freedom), “Me dicen que no quieres” (They tell me you don’t want)are known all around the Iberian Peninsula. He was also the founder of the “Andalán” newspaper, which was very influential during the 1970’s. Currently, he represents Zaragoza in the Spanish Congress for Chunta Aragonesista (Aragonese Council), an Aragonese political party.
