Malbrough s'en va-t-en guerre, ou Mort et convoi de l'invincible Malbrough

anonimo
Malbrough s'en va-t-en guerre, <i>ou</i> Mort et convoi de l'invincible Malbrough
Canzone popolare francese
Chanson populaire française
A French folksong
Ranskalainen kansanlaulu
[XVIII secolo; ca. 1709]
[XVIIIème siècle; ca. 1709]
[18th century, about 1709]
[1700-luvulla, noin 1709]

Les paroles dateraient de la bataille de Malplaquet , le 11 septembre 1709, au cours de laquelle John Churchill, premier duc de Marlborough (1650-1722) , fut grièvement blessé - et non tué . L'essentiel de sa carrière militaire fut consacré à lutter contre la France. C'est pourquoi les Français s'amusèrent à raconter sur un ton parodique sa mort et son enterrement. Cette chanson ne connut du succès qu'à partir de 1781. Geneviève Poitrine, nourrice du premier dauphin de Louis XVI la chantait à l'enfant royal : Marie-Antoinette la reprit au clavecin et en lança la mode. La mélodie fit le tour du monde.

Il testo risale forse alla battaglia di Malplaquet, combattuta l'11 settembre 1709,... (continua)

We Don't Want Your War

We Don't Want Your War
Words and music by Jynkz


The Anti-War Movement has an Anthem

The anti-war movement declares it has an anthem. "We Don't Want Your War" is being played by protesters worldwide as the song by musician Jynkz strikes an emotional chord.

If you haven’t heard it yet you will. It’s traveling fast and far as computer-savvy war protesters worldwide have embraced a song written by San Francisco musician Jynkz. The anti-war fans are using the Internet to hurl emails and post links about the song faster than you can say, "We Don’t Want Your War".

"Now we have an Anthem", writes web publisher Lew Rockwell giving Jynkz front page coverage on his tremendously popular anti-war Web site, LewRockwell.com. "We Don’t Want Your War is nothing short of heroic", Rockwell proclaims. And he isn’t the only one that thinks so. Downloads of the song from the Jynkz web site are skyrocketing. Fans are coming...

Protest Song

Protest Song
From Anti-Flag website:

We met the Donots during our first European tour, spring of 2002, when we toured with them and Millencolin. Almost automatically the Donots became great friends to us. They weren’t overtly political in their music like Anti-Flag, but it became evident very quickly that both bands shared very similar political points of view - especially regarding the idea that people of all nations must stop being manipulated into warfare by their governments. When the tour ended Ingo of the Donots and I kept in touch via email.

A few months before Anti-Flag’s Spring 2003 European Tour I had begun working on a new song which I hoped Anti-Flag would record acoustically and release on our website for free. The song idea wasn’t a new one for me, I wanted to write a song that encouraged people who liked our music and agreed with our message to take the next step: participate in political... (continua)

Testo e musica di Phil Ochs
Never recorded on LP
Mai inserita in album



La Baia dei Porci

La Baia dei porci (Bahía de Cochinos) è una stretta insenatura nella parte centro-meridionale dell'isola di Cuba. Divenne nota per un tentativo di invasione di Cuba effettuato il 17 aprile 1961 da 1.500 anti-castristi emigrati negli Stati Uniti e oppositori del governo di Fidel Castro.

Lo sbarco nella Baia dei porci fu l'inizio del tentativo di invasione; ideata durante la presidenza di Dwight Eisenhower, l'operazione fu autorizzata dal suo successore John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

A suggerire l'opportunità dell'attacco erano stati i servizi segreti degli Stati Uniti, decisi a riportare l'isola sotto la propria sfera d'influenza. Castro, succeduto al filo-americano Fulgencio Batista, aveva infatti nazionalizzato banche, società e casinò, ostacolando gli interessi... (continua)

Bill Curtis supplied the lyrics and says: "In an interview with Phil in July 1969 Phil mentions a new song that he wrote called ``All Quiet On The Western Front''. He sang it at a rally following his performance at Carneige Hall that year. He mentions one line from the song "I think I'll join the National Liberation Front". The song appears to have not been released nor does it appear in Broadside. Perhaps it was never sung again."

Update: Bill said that he exchanged e-mail with a person who said that he saw Phil Ochs sing this song at a demonstration in Central Park. He also said that the record company would not allow Phil to record the song because they objected to a line in the song which Phil refused to take out.

Chi ha portato quei fiori per Mara Cagol?
1996 Bande rumorose

"Abbiamo scritto questa canzone affinché non si possano dimenticare tutte le vittime - consapevoli e inconsapevoli - del terrorismo."
(dalle note dell'album)

Quando scoprirono il volto del cadavere non ebbero esitazioni, e il timore diventò certezza: al procuratore dissero subito che era lei, si era Mara Cagol. Le due sorelle di Mara,Lucia e Milena sposate con due impiegati del Trentino Alto Adige avevano riconosciuto subito Margherita,sposata a un terrorista di nome Curcio.

Era il 6 Giugno del 1975. Margherita - Mara per i compagni delle bierre- era morta il giorno prima alla cascina Spiotta dove, insieme ad un altro bierre riuscito a fuggire, teneva in ostaggio l’industriale delle bollicine –Vallarino Gancia- rapito il 4 Giugno.

Nello scontro armato era stato ferito a morte anche l’appuntato Giovanni D’Alfonso, 44 anni e padre di 3 figli, uno dei tre militari che... (continua)

"Driving home from work one evening I heard a radio discussion of the cropping of a photograph. It disturbed me deeply. The next evening I had the opportunity to meditate and I felt a song wanting to be written which emerged the next day. When my friends heard it they said it was 'too strong'. But I found willing listeners at a Truth Mandala workshop (Macy & Brown, 1998) concerning the war and our feelings about it. The story of this Iraqi girl is continuing to influence my life." -Rosey Faire.

Who'll Stop The Rain?

Who'll Stop The Rain?
Group leader John Fogerty wrote this. Like some of his other songs, like "Fortunate Son," it is a protest of the Vietnam War.

When interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine, John Fogerty was asked, "Does 'Who'll Stop The Rain' contain lyrically specific meanings besides the symbolic dimension?" His response: "Certainly, I was talking about Washington when I wrote the song, but I remember bringing the master version of the song home and playing it. My son Josh was four years old at the time, and after he heard it, he said, 'Daddy stop the rain.' And my wife and I looked at each other and said, 'Well, not quite.'"

*

Bruce Springsteen opened with this song during his summer stadium tour of 2003 whenever it was raining.

Who'll Stop the Rain" is written in the classic folk tradition about the lives of common people neglected by those in power. It's a political statement against politicians... (continua)
