I found this kind of ambient electronic version of The Red Banner is Raised last week

https://alllgharibbb.bandcamp.com/track/oxhy-ft-nihal-the-red-banner-is-raised

vocalist is Nihal El Aasar, DJ who has also published some essays about Palestine, Egypt etc

that Al Gharib label has a bunch of Palestine benefit compilations, mostly club music

Interesting version... The Red Banner Is Raised is an amazing song, I love listening to it

Not in English. There's some solid Eastern European folk-punk like Hanba and Hledani. Not sure what they're always singing about since I know maybe three canned phrases in Polish.

Buckle the fuck, let me introduce you to Bambu de Pistola, aka Bambu. Every album, every track, the man is a legend.

Just dropped a new album too

Not explicitly socialist but proletarian (also the person the song is speaking to is a man since this is about coal mining many decades ago but beware the term "are you gonna be a man" or something like that is used):

Rare case of good music that is in English (most good music isn't) kirby-jammin

[–] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Come All Ye Coal Miners, also by Panopticon (I think it may be a cover) is great too.

I like the Abigail Washburn version. She also does some songs in Chinese.

Thanks for the rec, I'll check it out.

Glad you like it Mr. Coprocessor.

It's in portuguese but anything by Zeca Afonso

[–] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Portuguese is fine! I said that I'll listen to anything that's NOT in English (did people overlook the "not"?)

Found this playlist, picked a song at random from it, I like his style kirby-jammin

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Cool, note that from before 1974 his songs are "self censored" through euphemisms and stuff because of the dictatorship. Afterwards he's much more explicit
