Outspoken liberal poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca is shot dead by Fascist militia near Alfacar, Granada, Spain, Europe. Lorca will become a lifelong hero to Leonard Cohen, whose 1986 song Take This Waltz is a translation of the Lorca poem Pequeno vals vienes. The story of Lorca's death will provide inspiration for The Pogues' 1990 song Lorca's Novena, and in 2012 songwriter Joe Wilkes will release a song, Looking For The Grave Of Garcia Lorca, on an album of the same title.
