Canto a la libertad

It was composed in 1975 to represent "a dream of solidarity, humanity, social justice, hope and freedom" and constitute "a hymn to the Aragonese people".

[1] As early as 1989, in the debate for the urgent approval of an Himno de Aragón in the Cortes of Aragon, the Aragonese Party (PAR) proposed Canto a la libertad as the official anthem,[2] after first consulting the initiative with Labordeta.

[1] The political party Chunta Aragonesista (CHA) (founded in 1986 and for which Labordeta was a member of parliament in the Cortes of Aragon in 1999, and a deputy in the Congress from the year 2000 to 2008) continued to insist it be recognized as the legitimate anthem.

[11] On 8 October 2011, musicians Pepín Banzo (on the boto bagpipe) and Jesús Quilez (singer) interpreted the song during the opening ceremony for the Fiestas del Pilar, minutes before the celebratory proclamation in the balcony of the town hall of Zaragoza.

On 30 October 2011, actor Jesús Pescador intervened in the Plenary Session of the Zaragoza City Council in the name of the committee to Promote Canto a la Libertad as "Anthem of Aragon", supporting a motion presented to the council in order to get it to support the proposal and also to "find a place for Canto a la Libertad in the Fiestas del Pilar".
