José Antonio Julio Sanchez Ferlosio Onesimus (April 8, 1940 - July 1, 2003), better known as Chicho Sánchez Ferlosio was a Spanish anarchist, poet and songwriter. Many of his songs have been performed by a variety of artists such as Rolando Alarcón, Joan Baez, Soledad Bravo, Victor Jara or the band Quilapayún. Some, like "Gallo rojo, gallo negro" "A la huelga" or "La paloma de la paz," which were published anonymously during the Francoist dictatorship, have become part of the popular folksong tradition. In 1978 the L.P. "A Contratiempo," Chicho's only recorded album (reissued in 2007 and currently available on iTunes), came out. He also contributed songs for the soundtrack of "Durruti, anarquista," a 1999 TV documentary about the life of Spanish anarchist Buenaventura Durruti. In 2003 he played a role in the film "Soldados de Salamina." In 2008 a posthumous anthology of his poems and song lyrics entitled "Canciones, poemas y otros textos" was published by the Hiperión publishing house . Read more on Last.fm.
