Miia MustangOh yeah!
It's 30th of May right now in my time zone!
Time to play may day related music! :3
YouTube
Oh this is an interesting one!
A song originally by Hiski Salomaa, a Finnish antiauth leftie who moved to the US around 1920's.
Funnily enough, the music he recorded was the only music on vinyl for a few years, as Finland at the time didn't have any industry to make them around the 1920's. :D
As I understand it, he was also IWW affiliated/adjacent, so that's kinda cool :3

Solidarity Forever - IWW Song (With Lyrics)
Pete Seeger - Banks of Marble
This one's a song composed by a Finnish-American artist by the name of T-Bone Slim.
I think a huge chunk of Finnish history is kinda lost to us, as over here we're not always aware of how Finnish migrants fared overseas after each emigration push.
Especially the one after our civil war.
But quite a large number of them were wobblies, which makes me happy. :3
