A Workers’ Songbook was imagined as a future collection of songs.

It is already becoming something else:
voices crossing borders, choirs meeting in solidarity, rehearsals stepping into the streets of Sarajevo.

Mexico. California. Italy. Sarajevo.

When a Songbook Steps Into the Streets

A new Workers’ Songbook was imagined as a collection of future songs. It is already becoming something more: a chain of voices moving across borders, rehearsal halls, and the streets of Sarajevo.

Notes from Bosnia & Herzegovina

Solidarity forever - T: Ralph Chaplin, 1915; M: trad. (John Brown's Body)

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,
But the union makes us strong.

Chorus:
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
For the union makes us strong.

Radnička pjesma.
Snimljena bez produkcije, u jednom kadru.

„U štrajk – ugasi sve“

Ako je osjetiš, podijeli.
Ako ne – sačekaj sljedeću.

A new workers’ song just dropped.
Simple melody, guitar, and words made for chanting together.

“On strike, shut it down!” isn’t just a slogan – it’s a reminder that power lives in numbers, not at the top.

Students, workers, seniors – one voice.

Hope today does not come from centres of power, but from languages of resistance.

From Minnesota to Serbia, people learn through non-violent, systematic struggle: strikes, blockades, and refusal to forget.

Collective memory — including workers’ songs — remains a form of resistance.

🎶 Song Without Fear

As part of our collaboration on the Workers’ Songbook, the women’s choir Ribelli in Cor from Florence shared this powerful song with us.

Song Without Fear is a strong choral statement against femicide and violence against women.
A song that demands justice.
A song that says: “I want to live.”

If they touch one, we all respond.

📢 Workers’ Songbook – Radnička pjesmarica

Proleter has launched Workers’ Songbook, the first initiative of its kind in Bosnia and Herzegovina using engaged choral music to speak about workers’ lives today.

We are raising funds for a regional competition for new choral works about labour, struggle, solidarity, and dignity — creating new workers’ songs for our time.
