  1. Hi Zero: I think you'll like this
    Basque singer (mith!) Mikel Laboa singing Brecht
    (Questions From a Worker Who Reads by Bertolt Brecht - in Basque, of course: Langile Baten Galderak)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhF1K7ZIoSk

    and the entire record: https://www.mediafire.com/file/2k7b3nh15hk7aob/Mikel+Laboa+-+Xoriek+17+%282005%29.7z

    (Found at http://ekaitzaldi.blogspot.com.es)

    You'll also notice the homages to James Joyce and Billie Holiday and a song by Atahualpa Yupanki, Piedra Y Camino

    Who built Thebes of the seven gates?
    In the books you will find the names of kings.
    Did the kings haul up the lumps of rock?
    And Babylon, many times demolished
    Who raised it up so many times? In what houses
    of gold-glittering Lima did the builders live?
    Where, the evening that the Wall of China was finished
    Did the masons go? Great Rome
    Is full of triumphal arches. Who erected them? Over whom
    Did the Caesars triumph? Had Byzantium, much praised in song
    Only palaces for its inhabitants? Even in fabled Atlantis
    The night the ocean engulfed it
    The drowning still bawled for their slaves.

    The young Alexander conquered India.
    Was he alone?
    Caesar beat the Gauls.
    Did he not have even a cook with him?

    Philip of Spain wept when his armada
    Went down. Was he the only one to weep?
    Frederick the Second won the Seven Year's War. Who
    Else won it?

    Every page a victory.
    Who cooked the feast for the victors?
    Every ten years a great man?
    Who paid the bill?

    So many reports.
    So many questions.

  2. another Basque singer: Imanol (Larzabal)
    sang Brecht in his record "herriak ez du barkatuko" (1974)(People won't forgive)
    The song Dialektikari gorespena (with members from Gwendal!!!) (Lob der Dialektik)
    deskatalogadosymas.blogspot.com.es/search?q=imanol

    https://dfiles.eu/files/d2aqxiyyc
    Cover by anti-francoist artist Agustín Ibarrola

    Dialektikari gorespena

    Pauso sendoz, doa munduan injustizia.

    Zapaltaileak, beste hamar mila urtezPortada (El pueblo no perdonara)

    domeinatzera prestatzen dira.

    Heien biolentziak seguratzen du:

    “Guztiak berdin jarraituko du”.

    Zapaltailean aboza entzuten da soilik,

    eta merkatuan esplotazioa ohiuztatzen da:

    “Orain da nere hasiera”.

    Eta zapalduen artean, asko diote:

    “ezta inoiz nahi duguna erdietsiko”.

    Oraindik bizirik, dagoenak

    ez dezala “sekulan” esan.

    SENDOA EZTA SENDO EZ DU GUZTIAK

    BERDIN JARRAITUKO

    Agintzen dutenak, mintza daitezenean,

    domeinatuko mintzatuko gara!

    Zein ausart daiteke, “sekula”, esatera?

    Zeinen eskutan dago opresioaren segi da?

    GUREETAN!

    Zeinetean haren amaiera?

    GUREETAN ERE!

    Altxa dadila makurtua dagoena!

    Burruka dadila galdurik dagoena!

    Zeinen menperatuko du bere kondizioa ezagutzen duena.

    ZEREN GAURKO GARAITUAK, BIHARKO GARAILEAR

    BAITIRA

    ETA “SEKULAN” “GAUR BERTAN” BAITA.
