Lyrics by Linton Kwesi-Johnson
Testo di Linton Kwesi-Johnson
Per Linton Kwesi-Johnson, più che di canzoni si deve parlare di poesie ritmate "dub" nel creolo-inglese giamaicano (patwah); così anche per questa, celebre, New Word Hawdah, o New World Order. Il "nuovo ordine mondiale" instaurato durante l' "epoca Bush" ha qui tutta l'enumerazione delle sue più fulgide conseguenze che vediamo tutt'oggi, magari aggiungendoci qualche "primavera araba", qualche Siria, qualche Libia...

SOLDIER TAKE OVER
Non riesco a reperire il testo di questa canzone nella rete e non me la sento nemmeno di trascriverla all'orecchio, ma oggi ho scoperto un personaggio, un musicista giamaicano del quale ingoravo finora esistenza. Si tratta di Earl Anthony Robinson detto anche General_Echo
Se ho capito bene, General Echo ha perso la vita a soli venticinque anni nel 1980, ammazzato da un poliziotto nelle circostanze non meglio chiarite fino ai giorni nostri.
Le sue canzoni e la sua musica hanno influenzato a quanto pare un altro artista reggae giamaicano – Yellowman.

[2013]
Parole e musica di Gaël Faye (1982-), rapper franco-ruandese, nato in Burundi, di padre francese e madre rifugiata ruandese, di etnia tutsi. Nel 1993 la famiglia riparò in Francia a seguito dell’acutizzarsi della guerra civile in Burundi, dopo la deposizione e l’assassinio del presidente hutu Melchior Ndadaye da parte di alcuni ufficili di etnia tutsi.
Nell’album intitolato “Pili Pili sur un Croissant au Beurre”
Testo trovato su Genius
Il ritornello - credo sia in kirundi, lingua del Burundi, o in kinyarwanda, molto simile, parlata in Ruanda - significa “Piccolo paese, grande paese, sei stato ferito, hai sofferto ma la sofferenza non ti ha sconfitto, piccolo paese, grande paese.”
“Les hommes sont bêtes, l'Afrique est belle, fais pas l'erreur de la haïr”, così Gaël Faye in un’altra sua canzone, “Président”

Nel video viene mostrato un bambino che cerca di interagire con il padre (interpretato da Stromae) che siede su una poltrona con un'espressione che ricorda quella di un manichino mentre gli altri bambini danzano insieme ai propri padri. Nel finale il bambino si siede a fianco del padre assumendo la stessa rigida posizione. Il video ha ricevuto oltre 300 milioni di visualizzazioni ed è anche il video in lingua francese più visto di sempre su YouTube.
Il controverso significato del video rimase nascosto fino a quando Stromae in un'intervista dichiara che il video è una sorta di interpretazione della sua infanzia vissuta in mancanza del padre ucciso nel genocidio del Ruanda.

Parce qu'on vient de loin
(2002)
dall'album omonimo
Corneille è un cantante di r'n'b nato in Germania originario del Rwanda. Nel 1994 ha 17 anni. La madre è hutu e il padre tutsi. Un gruppo armato entra nella casa di famiglia e uccide i suoi genitori, i fratelli e le sorelle. Corneille assiste al massacro, sopravvive nascondendosi dietro a un divano. Fugge in Zaire, a due giorni di cammino e trova rifugio presso una coppia tedesca amica dei genitori.
Da questa storia tragica, si può ben capire il perché dell'invito a vivere ogni giorno come se fosse l'ultimo, nella canzone che dà il titolo al suo primo album.

Testo e musica: Cécile Kayirebwa
Album: Cécile Kayirebwa - Rwanda - Music from Rwanda
Da qualche anno Cécile Kayirebwa, nata nel 1946, è considerata la “voce del nuovo Rwanda”, sebbene viva da anni in Belgio. Fu proprio questa canzone, che è un accorato appello alla pace nel Rwanda martoriato dalla guerra civile etnica fra Hutu e Tutsi che portò ai genocidi del 1994, una delle peggiori tragedie in assoluto della storia umana. Cécile Kayirebwa interpreta tutte le speranze di un Rwanda finalmente libero dagli odi etnici. La canzone Rubyiruko (“Gioventù” in lingua kinyarwanda, la lingua nazionale del paese che -è bene far notare- è del tutto comune sia agli Hutu che ai Tutsi) fu cantata da Cécile Kayirebwa assieme a sua sorella, alla radio nazionale; ne riprendiamo il testo dal sito della corale proletaria belga Hei Pasoep.

dall'album "Rancid"
La canzone si riferisce al terribile genocidio ruandese del 1994, una delle tante guerre praticamente dimenticate.
Il genocidio avvenne in un clima di totale indifferenza da parte dell'ONU e di molti paesi occidentali che mandarono i contingenti con l'unico scopo di salvare i propri cittadini. Fra questi spicca la Francia, che non solo non volle fermare la folle barbarie assassina (negli anni precedenti aveva armato e addestrato le FAR), ma anzi la fiancheggiò mandando contingenti a supportare le truppe hutu in ritirata dopo l'arrivo del FPR (tutsi). Ancora oggi, dopo dieci anni dal genocidio, rimangono aperti numerosi interrogativi ai quali forse non verrà mai data risposta.

This is not a history lesson. We're not historians. We're songwriters. And anyway... how the hell is anybody going to explain the systematic state sponsored slaughter of close to a million people with a handful of songs? We're not.
Truth is, there is no explanation for the Rwandan genocide. What there is in abundance, however, is ignorance. If these songs make just one person dig a little deeper, then we've made our money back, so to speak. We've touched upon specific pieces of the horror, but don't even pretend to be able to understand it from the Rwandan point of view. We're observers from afar. Interested, heartbroken observers....but merely observers nonetheless. Please... (continua)

Rwanda
Dall'album "Tra I Fuochi In Mezzo Al Cielo" del 2005.
“Ero ammutolita, non riuscivo a pensare neanche al futuro più immediato. Questo per una serie di ragioni: non solo perché avevo visto scene agghiaccianti, ma per l’indifferenza, denunciata nel film, dell’Occidente e di tutto il mondo rispetto a quel che accadeva”. Paola Turci la spiega così l’ispirazione che l’ha portata “nel giro di mezz’ora” a comporre Rwanda, pezzo di punta dell'album Tra i fuochi in mezzo al cielo (2005).
Con questa canzone, la cantautrice romana ha vinto la 4^ edizione del "Premio Amnesty Italia", il riconoscimento indetto dalla sezione italiana di Amnesty International e da Voci per la Libertà assegnato ogni anno al brano che meglio affronta il tema dei diritti umani.
Un rock istintivo e spigoloso.

Brano strumentale nell’album intitolato “Sanacore”
In Ruanda, dal 6 aprile alla metà di luglio del 1994, per circa 100 giorni, vennero massacrate sistematicamente - a colpi di armi da fuoco, machete pangas e bastoni chiodati - almeno 500.000 persone (secondo le stime di Human Rights Watch), in stragrande maggioranza appartenenti all’etnia minoritaria dei Tutsi (ma anche Hutu moderati). I carnefici, organizzati in milizie finanziate, armate ed equipaggiate dal Governo, erano di etnia Hutu. La stima delle vittime salì in seguito fino a raggiungere una cifra pari a circa 800.000 o 1.000.000 di persone.
Un’immagine emblema del genocidio ruandese:
Durante un notiziario del 2000 il quotidiano britannico The Guardian rivelò che l’allora Segretario Generale dell'ONU, l’egiziano Boutros Boutros-Ghali [in carica tra il 1992 ed il 1996 e quindi anche durante il genocidio ruandese], giocò... (continua)
