Lamento

Lamento
Chanson italienne – Lamento – Ratti della Sabina

La version française est, en fait, un peu composite; comme il y avait la chanson italienne et le poème allemand qui l'avait inspirée, et qu'il paraissait difficile d'ignorer Hermann Hesse, elle a tenu compte autant que possible des deux et s'est tenue au plus près tantôt de l'une tantôt de l'autre. Exercice périlleux, s'il en est.

Ainsi Parlait Marco Valdo M.I.

"Ain't it a nuisance! The ad said 'Four star, top of the bill' - just false promises ... truth is, this song is a protest against the politicians who are slowly (and slyly) changing our democracies into police states..."

Terry Whitmore

Terry Whitmore
[2008]
Album: Soldier by soldier
Inspired and based-on Terry Whitmore's book "Memphis-Nam-Sweden". Terry Whitmore was a black GI who deserted the Vietnam War after being injured in a fire-fight. He denounced the American government strongly afterwards for it's racism and arrogance to invade a country to "liberate" it while blacks and others in the U.S. were being oppressed and murdered. He became a symbol in Europe of the American GI anti-war movement and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who followed a similar path during what the Vietnamese call the "American War".

I Don't Want To Die

[1993]
Album: Get Me Out Of Here [2006]

"It's a story about a someone who has been cast aside by society and how we tend to ignore people who are different from us. The ending can be seen as happy ending or a sad ending depending on your point of view. I prefer a sad ending. This is a song I wrote in 1993. I have recently come back to it and rewritten it changing the chords, structure and half of the lyrics. I added some harmonica to it towards the end too. I am much happier with this song now."

Seventy Virgins
[2003]
Lyrics & Music by Polar Levine

Seventy Virgins refers to the fantasy that suicide bombers believe, that they will be martyrs, greeted in Heaven by 70 virgins. The song lays out the crisis in the Middle East and how all sides base their actions on some sort of fantasy.
The song was written after seeing Pakistani rock band, Junoon. They're known all over the world for their activism for peace between India and Pakistan and are speaking out on the issues of the post Sept. 11 situation.

They're Crazy

They're Crazy
[1983]
Lyrics and Music by Charles C. Tyler

"A song written when Russia and the USA were still threatening to annihilate each other with nuclear weapons.
I grew up like all my generation in a world in which the possibility of an all-out nuclear war between the USA and Russia seemed like a real possibility. The Cuban missile crisis – Dr. Strangelove – fallout shelters. I wrote several songs around these nightmare themes, but this one seemed to sum up the madness best. It may seem a little less likely now - but the weapons are still there and are still just as dangerous. And they are in more hands than ever and growing. This is no time to be complacent and this song is still relevant. I made this recording about 1983 on a very simple cassette deck in the house I rented in Mendocino, playing on the old piano that came with the house. A rare example of my piano playing… :-) "

"A great head-bashing anarchic punk track by Chris Diurni in which Bonnie and I scream our lungs out...
Bonnie's amazing scream and my ripped throat are the things I remember most from this 'bash it out quick and get it down while it's hot' session at the Mendocino Community School studio.. Tony and John drive the song along brilliantly - a club favourite with Da-Da fans..."

Canzone léviane – Crapoeuf – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2010
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 83

Crapoeuf est la huitante-troisième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.

Ah, Lucien l'âne mon ami, je suis – comme toujours - très content de te voir... Georges Brassens, d'ailleurs, se plaisait à chanter un refrain qui n'était pas de lui ( mais de W.Heyman-J.Boyer) - et qui disait : « Avoir un bon copain / Voilà ce qu'il y a de meilleur au monde... » ( il n'y a d'ailleurs pas grand chose de plus dans cette savonnette)... Donc, fermons la parenthèse, et découvrons ensemble cette canzone que je viens de terminer et qui sort tout droit de la méditation du prisonnier. Elle est construite, comme tu le découvriras sur deux comptines enfantines : une parle du cochon, l'autre de l'œuf; à la fin, les deux s'emmêlent. Mais tu sais comme tout le... (Continues)

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman
[1970]
Testo trovato su Broadside Magazine n.109 del settembre/ottobre 1970.

Come Follow the Drinking Gourd e Go down, Moses, una canzone dedicata alla cosiddetta “Underground Railroad”, la rete di cammini e case di accoglienza segrete che nella prima metà dell’800 consentì a decine di migliaia di schiavi afroamericani di mettersi in salvo negli Stati liberi del nord e nel Canada. La “regina” della “Ferrovia Sotteranea” fu Harriet Tubman, una schiava del Maryland che, dopo essere stata quasi uccisa dal proprio padrone bianco, fuggì e dedicò la vita a far fuggire altri schiavi. Sulla sua testa fu pure posta una taglia, ma non la presero mai. Morì quasi centenaria nel 1913.

Slavery In The Delta

Slavery In The Delta
[1982]
Album “For Your Immediate Attention!”, Folkways Records

Nel 1977 Eddie Carthan fu il primo afroamericano a diventare sindaco di Tchula, Mississippi.
A Tchula il 90% della popolazione era nera, ma la minoranza bianca imponeva da sempre la segregazione. Carthan non si fece intimidire dai “landlords” e dai loro sgherri del KKK e avviò un coraggioso ed avanzato piano di superamento della segregazione razziale e di miglioramento della qualità di vita della comunità nera. I bianchi gliela giurarono, e fin dal suo insediamento lo boicottarono e intimidirono, un vero linciaggio politico che si concluse nel 1981 con una falsa accusa di aggressione ad un poliziotto: Carthan fu costretto a dimettersi per sostenere il processo, dove fu condannato a tre anni di carcere. Per fortuna, dopo soli otto mesi, la pena fu revocata perché era evidente che si era trattato di un giudizio farsa e che Carthan era assolutamente estraneo ai fatti imputatigli.

Die Gedanken sind frei
Trovo questa canzone priva di attribuzione, come se fosse sua quindi, nel disco di Frank Schildt “Songs of Love, Play and Protest”, Folkways Records (1960).
Siccome però non mi pare che Schildt fosse un songwriter, credo che il brano debba continuare ad essere attribuito ad anonimo.

Communist aulabi (Communist Is Coming)

Anonymous
[1981]
In “Music of the Miskito Indians of Honduras and Nicaragua”
Produced and recorded by David Blair Stiffler, Folkways Records.

Si tratta di una canzone raccolta dalla voce di un nativo miskito, tale Guiermo Kiyat.
Racconta una pagina di storia sanguinosa …

Durante l’epoca coloniale, la costa atlantica del Nicaragua ed Honduras fu in gran parte soggetta al controllo dei britannici che vi costituirono un protettorato stringendo accordi di collaborazione, in funzione anti-spagnola, con i nativi miskito. Quando, sul finire del 1700, la Gran Bretagna rinunciò al controllo della regione, i miskito si scontrarono subito, e con successo, coi subentranti spagnoli e continuarono a mantenere il controllo sulle proprie terre, un’autonomia dichiarata e non riconosciuta che si accompagnò nei secoli successivi ad una loro sempre forte ostilità verso ogni governo centrale, che veniva percepito...
