Whenever I stumble across a song I like on youtube I download it into my personal music folder, I started this practice more than 4 years ago and I accumulated a large amount of socialist music from very niche spaces, spanning across a wide variety of languages. Because I see that nobody else is doing this specific thing on this site, I feel compelled to share this collection track by track, maybe it will lead to someone else also feeling the same inspiration that I felt when first listening to it.

Song 2 is my favorite from bANDİSTA, Haydi Barikata, it is a modern version of A Las Barricadas sung in Turkish. For context, A Las Barricadas was the anthem of the CNT-FAI, the anarchist organization that fought at the frontlines of the Spanish Civil War. The lyrics are quite faithful to the original, but modified to be more upbeat, combined with the new instrumentation it gives the song less of a "we are about to die" type of energy and more of a "we will win and dance to celebrate" sort of energy. I wish I could find more bands like bANDİSTA that did this.

I think that the title "Posting Socialist Music Daily From My Collection" might be a little too cumbersome to read, I wonder what would be the best way to change it while also explicitly including the language of the song...
