José Antonio Labordeta Subías (1935 –2010) began singing 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) or “Me dicen que no quieres” (They tell me you don’t want to) are
known all around the Iberian Peninsula.
He was also the founder of the Andalán newspaper, which was
very influential during the 1970s. From 2000 until retiring in 2008, he
represented Zaragoza in the Spanish Congress for Chunta Aragonesista (Aragonese
Union), an Aragonese political party.
