omg ive been meaning to ask you this, but favorite aragonese bands/singers/musical artists? esp ones that sing in aragonese!

fave ask ever omg thank you for sending this!!! i actually have a draft i made aaaageess ago with aragonese artists and singers in aragonese but, as many of the things that i do, it didnt get posted✊🏼😔(this got so long omg im so sorry i just love aragonese music😭)

if you dont wanna read this entire ask, theres this playlist on spotify with songs in aragonese. nonetheless, of course i will talk about my favorite artists:

*just a sidenote but all links here go to youtube except for ones i specified

the most important aragonese artist of the last century would HAVE to be jose antonio labordeta. i could write so much about him but ill try to refrain myself. apart from being a songwriter (part of the aragonese nueva canción), he was also a poet, writer, and politician (one if not the best policitian aragon has ever had). somos and canto a la libertad are the most well known of his songs. canto a la libertad gets sung every year for pilares in zaragoza, and when labordeta died, it was petitioned that it be turned into the national anthem of aragon (it didnt happen though). his best albums imo are cantar i callar and tiempo de espera

then theres also la ronda de boltaña (which if you follow me and see me post a lot youve probably seen me have breakdowns over them). they are very traditional, with typical ronda instruments and music. my favorite songs of theirs are la revolandera, el país perdido, la casa caída, aquí, mayo del agua, la tronada and pasodoble entre las ruinas. they also have songs such as bajo dos tricolores, which talks about civil war refugees who had to emigrate to france, in this case talking about la bolsa de bielsa, or retablo del prendimiento, which talks about the murders the fascists commited during the civil war (the song afaik was inspired in part by lorca's assasination). they also have fun songs such as días de albahaca, pedrón, pasacarreras de carnaval and tras la brecha digital (you dont understand, they literally open and close the song with the windows xp sounds). they also have some songs in aragonese, such as trango dople... ¡y china chana!, baxando t'a escuela, o viento rondador, nuei d'almetas, canta d'a luenga matria (with amaral. yes amaral the famous band (who are from aragon also btw!). she requested to sing in aragonese with them!!!). theyve also covered canto a la libertad, and l'immortèla (originally in occitan!!!).

also one of my absolute favorites, au d'astí!. theyre a newer band and they sing in the three languages spoken in aragon: aragonese, catalan and spanish. ive posted about them before, but my absolute favorite song of theirs is olvidar

ixo rai! is an iconic band from the 90s, their most iconic and well known song is 15 d'agosto (legend has it que no son fiestas del lugar en aragon if this song doesn't play). their best song imo is un país (ft labordeta) (this song is where my tag for aragon-polvo niebla viento y sol-comes from, too). other songs i really like are agua and donde quisimos vivir, no te quedes sin entrar and ...pasa pues?. they have two songs in aragonese: a fuesa unibersal and carta d'amor, which is originally in spanish but was translated and recorded this past year

la bullonera, who were neo-folk singers in the 70s. my favorite favorite favorite favorite (x1000) song is jota de la libertad (my blog title is from this song!). some other songs that i also love are me dicen que no quieres, jota carcelera, a estos yermos de aragón, jotas de ronda, jotas de ronda 2, and jotas de ronda 3.

idoipe writes songs/music, of the electrofolk variety, and some of them are in aragonese: o sol espunta and encara, for example. he's also done covers of famous songs like la tronada and espigas de oro (my favorite jota tbh)

mallacán has albums entirely in aragonese, more of the rock variety. mar de suenios being my favorite, and país zierzo.

honorary mentions go to els draps, who sing in catalan from the matarranya but i think are still worth mentioning, to krevi solenco, who published the album os chardins de shalimar (rap album entirely in aragonese, with catalan and basque artists on some songs) a few yrs ago, and to nuei, who have songs such as mil parolas.

theres also a collection of albums called o zaguer chilo, published by a.c. nogará, which are a recopilation of songs in aragonese and catalan. so far theres been 6 editions, and some of the artists ive mentioned have participated in writing songs for it.

i also have a spotify playlist with some aragonese songs (not just in aragonese, though) that i made for everyone to enjoy
