José Antonio Labordeta Subías (10 March 1935, in Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain – 19 September 2010, Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain[1]) was a Spanish (Aragonese) singer, songwriter, poet, writer and political activist.

He began singing in an attempt to give more relevance to his poetry; his songs are well-known and beloved anthems in Aragón.

José Antonio went to live with his older brother Miguel, who was married and fourteen years his senior.

In 1963, Labordeta married Juana de Grandes, and the newly wed couple moved to Teruel.

He died on 19 September 2010 in Zaragoza at age 75 after a long battle with prostate cancer.
