“Please join us for a special afternoon performance celebrating the 78th reunion of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, the nearly 3,000 American volunteers who fought against fascism during the Spanish Civil War.

A band of musical friends led by Bruce Barthol, founding bass player in Country Joe and the Fish and songwriter for the San Francisco Mime Troupe for more than 30 years, will commemorate the songs and activism of Pete Seeger with a musical tribute celebrating the re-issue of the Smithsonian Folkways’ album, Songs of the Spanish Civil War.

The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA) will honor the recipient of this year’s Puffin Human Rights Award. ALBA is dedicated to promoting public awareness of the Spanish Civil War and the American volunteers who risked their lives to fight fascism in Spain.”
