Deep River
Anonymous
Lo spiritual tradizionale ” Deep River” puo’ essere annoverato fra i canti che appartengono alla “Underground Railroad” come: "Follow the Drinking Gourd" , "Wade the Water" , "Go Down Moses" ,"Swing Low Sweet Chariot", "Steal Away" e altri.
L’Autore dell’articolo allegato suggerisce infatti che il fiume Giordano, citato in Deep River, puo’ simboleggiare il fiume Ohio*,naturale confine divisorio fra gli stati schiavisti del Sud degli Stati Uniti e gli stati liberi del Nord e ultimo ostacolo da affrontare per raggiungere l’obiettivo finale della fuga , la liberta’.
English

DEEP RIVER is a classic example of an African American “spiritual” – an immensely important genre of music born from the “plantation” and “sorrow” songs of the African American slaves in the Deep South in the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s.

Uncle Sam says
Josh White era andato a trovare suo fratello che si trovava in una base dell'esercito americano per l'addestramento, ed era rimasto scioccato dalla disparità di trattamento tra reclute nere e bianche. Parlò dell'esperienza con William Waring Cuney, un poeta dell'Harlem Renaissance, e insieme i due scrissero una tagliente critica di 12 battute.

Birmingham Blues
Dall'album 'On Campus', Chicago, 1963
Hooker recorded "Birmingham Blues" in response to events which occurred in Birmingham during the series of civil rights protest demonstrations which took place in the spring of 1963. Known as the Birmingham Campaign, the protests included marches, lunch counter sit-ins, kneel-ins at white churches, and boycotts of local merchants. The protests and the clashes between the white authorities and black protestors were widely publicized by the news media, and images of dogs and powerful high-pressure fire hoses being used to subdue protestors garnered them worldwide sympathy.

Slavery Time
Registrato a Houston, Texas, il 18 dicembre 1967, Arhoolie Records.
Questa registrazione è presente nel grande album "Texas Blues" di Hopkins. Robert Santelli, nel suo libro The Best of the Blues: The 101 Essential Albums, descrive la canzone come "una rappresentazione toccante scritta sull'epoca dell'oppressione e sulla ricerca della libertà dei neri".
Hopkins registrò "Slavery Time" il 18 dicembre 1967 insieme ad altre due canzoni di protesta: "Tom Moore Blues" e "Bud Russell Blues". Hopkins era uno dei più grandi improvvisatori del blues e, secondo le note di copertina dell'album "Texas Blues", compose "Slavery Time" subito dopo aver cantato di Tom Moore e Bud Russell.
A un certo punto, Hopkins canta "Sono così contento che non sia più tempo di schiavitù". Ma quel verso era quasi certamente pronunciato con sarcasmo, poiché il verso precedente fa riferimento alla semi-schiavitù della... (Continues)

When The Levee Breaks
'When the Levee Breaks' è un country blues scritto e registrato da Kansas Joe McCoy (secondo marito di Minnie) e Memphis Minnie a New York il 18 giugno 1929, in occasione della loro prima sessione per Columbia Records. La canzone vede McCoy alla voce e alla chitarra ritmica, mentre Memphis Minnie, la chitarrista più esperta dei due, suona la chitarra solista, fornendo gli abbellimenti in stile fingerpicking. Sull'altra facciata del 78 giri c'era 'That Will Be Alright', un'altra performance vocale di McCoy.
Il testo riflette le esperienze vissute durante la grande alluvione del Mississippi del 1927, la cui memoria era ancora fresca quando il duo scrisse il brano. Ethel Douglas, cognata di Minnie, ha ricordato che Minnie viveva con la sua famiglia vicino a Walls, Mississippi, quando l'argine si ruppe nel 1927.
Il filo conduttore della canzone è il lavoro febbrile per rafforzare l’argine,... (Continues)

In the same way The Specials’ early classics such as ‘Concrete Jungle’, ‘Doesn’t Make It Alright’ and ‘Ghost Town’ delved into issues the likes of racism, right-wing violence and economic recession on the cusp of the 80s, Encore targets contemporary topics with aplomb. Among these highlights are Lynval Golding’s hard-hitting, immigration-related ‘BLM’ (aka ‘Black Lives Matter’).

In realtà "White Jesus Black Problems" andrebbe contribuito per intero sulla CCG/AWS...
Xavier Dphrepaulezz, in arte Fantastic Negrito, ha scritto un concept album dove la descrizione della realtà attuale si incrocia con la storia di una sua antenata, una serva di origine scozzese di nome Elizabeth Gallimore che nella Virginia di metà '700 si innamora e convive con uno schiavo negro, il cui nome è rimasto sconosciuto (Fantastic Negrito lo battezza pertanto Grandfather Courage). Per questo la coppia venne perseguita dalla giustizia, che non ammetteva i matrimoni misti... Non si sa cosa abbiano passato, ma ebbero comunque una discendenza, fino allo Xavier dall'impronunciabile cognome.
Fantastic Negrito ha dedicato alla storia anche un video di 40' ed una versione acustica dell'album dedicata proprio al suo sconosciuto avo, "Grandfather Courage".

Album: Still I Rise (1999)
This angry tirade was from the 2Pac (Tupac Shakur) & The Outlawz 1999 album, Still I Rise. It was 2Pac’s third posthumous album which was released.
This song is a no holds barred lyrical attack on then President Bill Clinton, attacking his ineffectiveness in helping poverty stricken black communities. As far as protest songs go, it is pure anger, and it points to the fact that if the situation goes unchecked things will just keep getting worse.

Theme for English B - by Langston Hughes - 1951
Source: The Collected Works of Langston Hughes (University of Missouri Press (BkMk Press), 2002)
“Theme for English B” - Introduction
• “Theme for English B” was published by the American poet Langston Hughes in 1951, toward the end of Hughes’s career. The poem is a dramatic monologue written in the voice of a twenty-two-year-old black college student at Columbia University in New York City. His professor gives an apparently simple assignment: to write one page that is “true” to himself. But for the speaker, this assignment raises complicated questions about race, identity, and belonging. As he puzzles through these difficult questions, the speaker arrives at a powerful argument against American racism: white people and black people are not (and should not be) separate or distinct. Instead, they are “part” of each other.

With the tightening of all restrictions on them (the slaves) after the rebellion, any singing about Nat Turner had to be well disguised .A song about him has survived, in which there was humorous satire on the masters,who allowed it as kings once allowed jokes on themselves by court fools and jesters, mixed with a pun on Nat Turner’s name and veiled references to revolution and change.

The War pitted the Northern Industrial society with its crowded immigrant poulations stretching the boundaries westward into new territories and the static Southern Aggrarian life of Plantations and slave labour. It became clear that the anathema of Slavery could not continue.
Two worlds colliding with a winner take all outcome.
The South had 18,000 factories to the North's 100,000. The population of The South was 10 million, 3 million which were slaves.

Anche questo brano puo’ essere considerato una canzone della "Underground Railroad" per la possibile interpretazione in codice di alcuni suoi versi a partire dal titolo che esprime il desiderio di fuggire da una opprimente realta’ e raggiungere al piu’ presto la Terra Promessa che potrebbe riferirsi al Canada o comunque agli stati liberi del Nord.
A seguire la gioiosa ed intensa interpretazione di Harry Belafonte traccia n.8 dell'imprescindibile album di Spirituals : " My Lord What A Morning" del 1960 con note di copertina di Langston Hughes.
