"The sharply altered mood and the minor key variation l’m sure, won't keep you from detecting the ghost of Mademoiselle from Armentières, the lusty World War One marching song. . . and I won't pretend that the resemblence is an accident. Perhaps, these songs had their place, once… perhaps they still bring beery-nosta1gia to some… but I submit that they, like the wars that spawned them, have had their day, and that anyone who believes otherwise is living in the hopped-up past of the pre-Hiroshima era."

“I wrote this one some four years back, but unlike some of my earlier songs, if you were to ask me today to sit down and write about the things I believe in, I don't think the words would come out any different. I've sung it to a lot of people in a lot of places, and the way they respond seems to me to mean that most people are agreed on the fundamentals that would go to make a decent world -- not the least of which is peace.”

[1993]
Album “Kenza” (1994)
Lwennas Meɛṭub, il celebre cantautore ribelle cabilo - ucciso nel 1998 dagli integralisti islamici, o dal governo, o da entrambi - scrisse questa canzone pochi mesi dopo l’assassinio (avvenuto il 2 giugno 1993) dello scrittore berbero Ṭahar Djaout ed è dedicata a Kenza, figlia dello scrittore. Nella stessa canzone si ricordano molti altri intellettuali algerini caduti per mano degli islamisti nel corso di quegli anni: Rachid Tigziri, militante berbero (sgozzato il 31 gennaio 1994), Smail Yefsah, giornalista televisivo berbero (caduto il 18 ottobre 1993), Laadi Flici, medico e poeta (assassinato il 17 marzo 1993), Djillali Liabes, sociologo (ucciso il 16 marzo 1993) e Mahfoud Boucebsi, medico impegnato nella cura dell’infanzia abbandonata e delle ragazze-madri (accoltellato il 15 giugno 1993).

Un mondo bello che ormai non c'è più.
Un grazie alla mia Mamma che me l'ha sempre cantata.

Matin cholérique
Matin cholérique – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2010
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 96
Matin cholérique est la nonante-sixième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.
Encore une fois, mon ami Marco Valdo M.I., je trouve le titre de la canzone bien étrange. Mais il doit bien avoir à voir avec son contenu. Laisse-moi deviner... Comme il s'agit d'une canzone léviane, qu'elle fait partie du cycle du Cahier ligné, dès lors, il s'agit d'un moment de la méditation de notre ami le prisonnier-blessé. Ce moment est clairement dit : c'est le matin. Où je comprends moins bien, c'est cet adjectif qui s'y accole : cholérique. Il ne s'agit évidemment pas de la colère, mais du choléra, cette maladie souvent mortelle et en tous cas, porteuse de fièvres terribles.
Eh bien, Lucien l'âne mon ami, c'est exactement çà. Ton raisonnement est parfait.... (Continues)

Apprendo dalle note che accompagnano il disco "Talking Union and Other Union Songs", con Pete Seeger, The Almanac Singers e The Song Swappers (Folkways Records, 1955) che la seguente strofa di questa canzone:
"My daddy was a miner,
And I'm a miner's son,
And I'll stick with the union
'Til every battle's won."
è da attribuirsi ad una modifica ad opera degli Almanac Singers.
La strofa originaria della Reece era la seguente:
"My daddy was a miner;
he's now in the air and sun
He'll be with you, fellow workers,
until this battle's won."
dove "in the air and sun" significa che il minatore non era in galleria ma disoccupato perchè "blacklisted" dai padroni a causa del suo attivismo sindacale...

“The tactic of dividing the people in order to conquer them is a tactic which capitalism has used in this country very effectively. It has not only kept different races apart, it has kept sexes, religions, ages, occupations, just about everything divided. People have been taught we must compete against one another, and that we threaten each others interests. It has even affected us personally in feelings of alienation from each other and ourselves, so that we are isolated and alone. We are not alone - our interests are the same as all people fighting against the common oppressor. Our struggle for unity is a critical struggle, and it is vital for victory.”

non concordo è la parte più bella della canzone
se è un falso è fatto benissimo
credo che tutti i frequentatori di questo sito internet
sanno che le canzoni di protesta potevano essere veicolate
solo se divulgate in modo mascherato è la storia della musica (cito il film riso amaro) cioè tutti gli studiosi di musica popolare conoscono queste tecniche penso alla capoera brasiliana alla musica popolare italiana è normale
aggingere (se di aggiunta si tratta)un trallà 'llero
anzi bilancia il brano che diventa quasi dark viceversa sarebbe (musicalmente con rispetto)lagnoso.grazie

La canzone trae spunto da un fatto di cronaca: la rivolta di Los Angeles, allargatasi poi a macchia d'olio in tutti gli Stati Uniti, a seguito del barbaro pestaggio di alcuni poliziotti ai danni del tassista nero Rodney King. La canzone elenca inoltre tutte le città statunitensi in cui sono avvenute le rivolte.

Il feroce monarchico Bava o Inno del sangue
Anonymous
![Il feroce monarchico Bava <i>o</i> Inno del sangue](img/thumb/c208_130x140.jpeg?1328440775)
Chanson italienne – Il feroce monarchico Bava – Anonyme – 1898
« La sanglante répression des émeutes milanaises de 1898 valut au général Bava Becaris la croix de Grand Officier de l'Ordre Militaire de Savoie. Le style du texte laisse entendre que l'(auteur anonyme était de bonne culture bourgeoise et maîtrisait le langage littéraire de l'époque. Sur la même ligne mélodique fut écrite la Ballata del Pinelli après la mort mystérieuse de l'anarchiste jeté par une fenêtre de la Préfecture de Milan au cours de l'enquête sur l'attentat de la Piazza Fontana de décembre 1969 ».
La chanson, écrite suite aux faits de Milan et connue sous le titre « Le féroce monarchiste Bava », est habituellement classée parmi les hymnes socialistes. Il existe cependant une copie manuscrite, confisquée à l'anarchiste Luigi Fabbri durant les arrêts domiciliaires, où l'on trouve non seulement le titre original « L'Hymne du Sang » - mais aussi le couplet et trois strophes manquantes....

Album “Man of the Whole Wide World”, Folkways Records
“An ideal is something to dream about, until it becomes a practical necessity for survival. Then it
calls, not for dreamers, but for planners. In this age of shrinking distances and long-range missiles,
even hard-headed ultra-nationalists must be beginning to realize that the choice is boiling down to co-existence or no-existence. Projected logically, then, it would seem that this could lead to a world
federation of states -- or, in the simpler term, one world.”
