"This is a love story that has never truly ended: the love between a part of Italy and fascism.
It is just as when an old couple meets again after long time, one sparkle is enough to revive the (strictly tricolor) flame, and to have it burning vigorously like in past times.
This time, the sparkle is a woman. A mother and a Christian.
I wish you a good Liberation Day. Forever."

“La cosa veramente divertente è che c’è stato un tempo in cui i fascisti erano più autentici, più spavaldi, erano leoni, anche se solo per un giorno. Rivendicavano la loro identità senza paura di essere accusati di essere traditori e assassini della patria. Oggi, invece, hanno paura di definirsi, di rivendicare la loro fede”, scrive l’attore, che è anche direttore artistico del concertone del Primo Maggio di Taranto, nel post. E poi, si legge ancora: “Tradiscono la loro identità giurando sulla Costituzione antifascista e poi per stare seduti sulla poltrona diventano campioni della super Cazzola, cintura nera di arrampicata sugli specchi”. Infine: “Lo dico sinceramente: non ci sono più i fascisti di una volta. Solo pecore. Ecco cosa sono i fascisti di ieri che sono diventati i governanti di oggi. Meglio una vita da pecora che un giorno da leoni. Viva la Resistenza”. - Michele Riondino, 28 aprile 2024.

Nota. Si tratta della traduzione inglese fornita da Paolo Rizzi, ma ridisposta in modo da corrispondere al testo originale. Come specificato da Paolo Rizzi, si tratta di una "traduzione automatica"; auspichiamo ovviamente che Juha Rämö voglia prima o poi farne una traduzione inglese a regola d'arte. Si segnala che della canzone esiste una traduzione inglese poetica su Lyricstranslate, ma il traduttore la ha messa sotto copyright. [RV]

American Folksongs of Protest by John Greenway

p. 95-96
This song is usually sung by the chained gangs of slaves who are on their way, being driven from Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky, to the more southern states for sale. The last line of each verse is the chorus, and gives a most impressive effect when sung—as it often is— by 60 or 150 voices echoing the plaintive grief of their hearts. This last line is intended as an appeal to all who have it in their power to aid in bringing about the jubilee of emancipation. -J. W. C. Pennington, D.D. Despite Dr. Pennington's contemporary affidavit that this is a Negro song, most observers will agree that its white origin is transparent; but it is worth including, if only for Dr. Pennington's intriguing phrase, "sung ... by 60 or 150 voices."

Lomax wrote:” Sung by the cross-eyed prisoner whose mates had named him Tangle-Eye. Every good singer in the Pen has his own field holler with which he amuses himself in reflective moments. Often those tunes are kin to the blues, often they are composed of free yodeling tunes which seem to have African roots. The wild free melodies permit the singers literally to think and free associate out loud. The holler is, for me, the most expressive style in all our folklore. Tangle-Eye here tells his own story.”

“Tangle Eye Blues” is Tangle Eye’s personal story of incarceration, religion, and repentance. Based on his singing style, we can infer that this may have once been a gospel song that was popular amongst African American churches... (Continues)

Grace
1985
The song was written by brothers Frank & Sean O'Meara
Jim McCann, who often played with The Dubliners had the most success with it, but it was also sang by The Wolfe Tones, John McDermott, Barleycorn, and Anthony Kearns to name but a few singers. And at least also Andrea Rock & the Rebel Poets in their Ep "Mnà" (Women).
It was written about Joseph Plunket and Grace Gifford who married hours before Joseph was executed for his part in the 1916 rising in Dublin
Tom Clarke was a source of inspiration in the Post Office.
There was Joseph Plunket, pale and weak having come directly from the hospital where he had just undergone an operation.Joseph was shot seated, as he was too ill to stand for the firing squad.
He struggled to be with his comrades on that eventful morning. Margaret Skinnider said he looked like death and he met his death a few days later, not a natural one but... (Continues)

Mnà
“Mnà”, termine gaelico che significa “donne”, è il nuovo EP di Andrea Rock, speaker radiofonico, musicista, produttore e frontman del progetto ANDREA ROCK & THE REBEL POETS.
A meno di un anno di distanza da “True Stories”, Andrea torna per raccontare le vite di quattro donne che hanno lasciato il segno nella memoria e nella cultura dell’Isola di Smeraldo.
I quattro brani che compongono l’ep sono l’ideale proseguimento del discorso intrapreso nel 2023 con l’album precedente: raccontare storie vere di personalità legate alla storia culturale e politica irlandese, attraverso un suono che tiene conto sia della tradizione che del contesto attuale. La proposta del progetto può essere descritta come “irish punk” o “celtic rock”, con alcune digressioni più hard, ravvisabili soprattutto nella timbrica vocale e nei suoni di chitarra, basso e batteria. Ad elevarsi al di sopra di queste... (Continues)

Telephone call 1 April 2024. An inauspicious date in Australia.
In their own words (almost):
Australian politician: You have killed an Australian!!
Israeli spokesperson: You gave us weapons and told us to go for it after the Hamas attack.
Australian politician: Yes, but we thought you were only going to kill Arabs!
Israeli spokesperson: Yes and we have done a pretty good job of it. Over 30,000 at last count.
Australian politician: But an Australian! And an aid worker for World Central Kitchen at that!
Israeli spokesperson: Aid workers. We have killed over 100 of those. And a few media workers. These things happen in war.
Australian politician: I am very, very angry. (Hangs up).
Israeli spokesperson: (Sigh). Oh dear, how sad. Never Mind.
Voice off: Seems very moralistic for a politician. These Austrians.
Israeli spokesperson: And gullible. How is the big man’s hernia?

Feat. Andre Louis
Sometimes a situation comes along that makes you have to try and do your bit to rectify the balance. For me as a musician, I of course attempt to do this through music.
When Mai approached me about recording a song regarding the ongoing troubles in Palestine I agreed.
The song is called 'Cease Fire' and through power of the human voice and a piano, we hope to bring attention to the current situation and to at least make you stop and think.
Mai's voice emotionally saws above the piano in a way that shall surely tug at the heartstrings. Though the song may be simple in scope, the message is poignant and meaningful, and we hope you share it with your friends and family.

Due parole del traduttore. In tutti questi giorni di lutas que continuam mi è venuto di riprendere anche questa vecchia pagina, anch’essa a suo tempo iniziata da un giovane -e non so se ancora imberbe- Dq82 (ora la barba ce l’ha, e bella fluente). Per prima cosa, una versione inglese che, in pratica, è un po’ una riscrittura. A tale riguardo, poiché è saltata fuori la questione della possibile “derivazione” (o ispirazione) di questa canzone dalla struttura dell’originale A luta continua di Bongi e Miriam Makeba (1975), derivazione-ispirazione che anch’io ritengo molto probabile (in attesa di un intervento chiarificatore dei fratelli Severini), mi sono deciso a mantenere lo slogan portoghese anche in questa versione inglese. Derivazione, ispirazione o meno, ci sta troppo bene. Ho lasciato invece così come sono le situazioni di lotta del 1991; un po’ perché... (Continues)

I've long thought it was convenient and appropriate that the English word "loot" and the Portuguese word for "struggle" sound very similar. The powers-that-be are looting the people and the planet in so many ways every day of the year, but on rare occasions when some people dare loot back a little, like in Chicago a couple nights ago, it's time to call in the National Guard.

Ameriican Requiem
![Ameriican Requiem](img/upl/31BEYONCE-REVIEW-fjtz-superJumbo.jpg)
(2024)
Album: Cowboy Carter
L'album è la seconda parte di una trilogia inaugurata con Renaissance del 2022. In questo album Beyoncé coraggiosamente si arrischia in un’operazione di riappropriazione culturale del country, tradizionalmente visto come musica bianca e di stampo conservatore.
Ma Beyoncé è comunque una donna del sud degli Stati Uniti e il country fa parte delle sue radici quanto la musica nera, e in questo album riesce a mettere insieme le due cose in maniera a volte sorprendente.
La traccia di apertura Ameriican Requiem (la doppia i è un riferimento all'atto II della trilogia) è un vero proprio requiem per il sogno americano, per tutte le idee di libertà e di uguaglianza tradite nel corso della storia, il funerale di una società libera dall'odio e dalla discriminazione ancora molto lontana dal realizzarsi.
L'album continua con Blackbiird (anche qui con la doppia i), cover della canzone scritta da Paul McCartney per i Beatles e dedicata a tutte le donne nere che lottano per liberarsi.

Pickin' Cotton All Day Long (Traditional)
Testo e nota da Azizi Powell.
This comedic song is about a preacher (minister) visiting people on Sunday (when it was common to have fried chicken for dinner.) The "pickin cotton all day long" chorus doesn't have anything to do with the preacher and chicken verses.
