Music of hope
The music of the Andalusian group Jarcha reflected the desire to the transition from the dictatorship to a democracy. And this song, Freedom without anger, which was initially banned on October 9th 1976, subsequently became an unofficial hymn of that historical moment. The song was chosen by the new newspaper: Dirario 16, just after Franco's death.

Freedom without anger is a song that was heard specially before the first democratic elections, it was heard continuously in the news, for example when images of people hanging advertising posters of the candidates that could be elected appeared. The chorus is so catchy that you remembered it easily and keep singing it all day. And what that chorus said was the feelings that the people felt at that moment, of new freedom without violence but they didn't forget about the Civil War and the postwar period. People started to believed in a real democracy, and it reflected the hope but some people saw it like a threat.
After that this song was still listening at background of manifestations, strikes... And nowadays when the evictions happened.
It was symbol of the re-entry of political parties that were in exile during the dictatorship too like, the communist, or the socialist.

It seems incredible that a song with that simple letter has meaning so much to a society that had suffered a lot and had hopes of freedom and changes. This song was a hymn of changes, rights and freedom without another war, peacefully and from within the system of the dictatorship.
Libertad sin ira fue una canción del grupo andaluz Jarcha que tras ser elegida por el Diario 16 en 1976, se convirtió en un himno símbolo de la Transición de las nuevas libertades y derechos, provocando en algunos esperanza y en otros más afines a la dictadura, rechazo. Se escuchó mucho por aquella época en todas las acciones relacionadas con el cambio y se la recuerda con cariño, llegando incluso a ser utilizada actualmente en protesta por algunos desahucios, o escándalos de corrupción que azotan la opinión pública.
