RMS Protest Song On Gitmo

An anonymous reader tipped us to a protest song RMS has written and recorded (while visiting Cuba) and is hosting on stallman.org. It's a sort of parody, although it's too serious really to be called that, in Spanish of the song "Guantanamera," in which a Gitmo prisoner talks about his experiences and mourns his fate. RMS wrote the lyrics in 2006 after learning what "Guantanamera" actually means. The lyrics are moving, and the recording, in Ogg, is competent — RMS sings well and he's got some amateur musicians from Cuba backing him up. Here are the lyrics and an English translation.

I'm busy listening to Andrea Corr's "Shame On You" antiwar song from her new solo album to be released in June by Atlantic.

Check out the 30-second sample on her MySpace page or her Bebo page.

They had the full songs up on the Bebo page at one point, but took them down after a while, but not before I got the whole versions of all three of the songs they posted.
