“Freedom” is a video made in Northern Italy in Peveragno, the little town where musicians live, and was produced with the participation of the inhabitants of the same. “Freedom” is a song and a video that aims to represent the will and the hope of people asking for a job opportunity for their future, a chance to live with dignity in their own land . The picture of youth and adults in a small town reflects the legitimate hope of safeguarding the identity of the world people.

I wrote this song shortly after reading Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, one of the books that circulated in Camp Melinka from hand to hand and cabin to cabin. I presume I don’t have to explain who is one experiencing the metamorphosis here. Due to security considerations, these verses were only sung in a low voice and before a select audience of political prisoners. Today they are part of my record Documento (1986), that I produced upon completing ten years in exile in Germany, which compiles the 27 songs that were born from my prison experience.

I don’t want to exaggerate but Camp Melinka became not only a factory that produced handicrafts and a performance hall but also a university. Every day there were classes to learn foreign languages, art, medicine or literature. Solar ovens were built. Talks were given on arachnology. Literacy programs were offered. For a twenty something year-old like me, interested in learning greater depth about Latin American history, history professors would share a round of mate in the cabins, and happy to also share their knowledge free of charge. Listening to one of those professors I learned about Father Bartolomé de las Casas, a priest who lived in Central America and earned the title of Defender of the Indians during the harshest period of the Spanish Conquest. His life was marked by defeat. He was unable to stop the abuses committed with the consent of the Catholic Church, which was his spiritual... (Continues)

Amor
![Amor](img/thumb/c56817_130x140.jpeg?1510130053)
Written by: Sergio Vesely / Guillermo Núñez
This song is based on a poem Guillermo wrote in the Puchuncaví Prison Camp dedicated to his partner Soledad. Of all the songs I composed as a prisoner, this is the only one where the lyrics are not mine. The reason is very human and simple. One day Guillermo asked me if I could set to music verses he had written so he could sing them to his beloved the next time she visited him. I found the idea so original and I liked it so much that I decided to help him. I took the sheet of paper with the poem to my cell in one of the adjacent huts. After reading and re-reading it several times, I began to compose this song. It’s a shame, but I don’t recall if Soledad ever got a chance to hear it.
Today ‘Amor’ is now in my album Documento (1986), together with 26 other songs born of my confinement in various detention centres of the dictatorship.

At Puchuncaví Detention Camp (Melinka) I shared a cell with an elderly man from Lota, where he had spent his entire life working in the coal mines. I was struck by the way he spoke. It was very different from the “Chilean” way of a twenty-something year-old like me from the capital like me. When he talked to our fellow prisoners, I could barely understand a word he said. I composed this song in the cell by transcribing some of our conversations. It is one of the 27 songs on the recording Documento (1986) that I produced on the tenth anniversary of my exile in Germany, an anthology of all the songs that were inspired by my experience as prisoner.

Daniela was the political codename of María Cecilia Labrín, a member of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR). Agents of the DINA (the regime’s secret police) arrested her at her home on Latadía Street in Santiago in August 1974. She has never been seen again.
In my cell I composed this song dedicated to the memory of Daniela, that is, of Cecilia. It is one of 27 songs on the album Documento (1986) that I recorded to mark ten years of exile in Germany. The album brings together all the compositions born of my experience as a prisoner.

This song was dedicated to Óscar Castro, who I was lucky to meet in 1975 in Puchuncaví. With his experience in theatre – Óscar was already a fairly well-known actor before his arrest – he threw himself into the cultural work we had organised in what was then called “Camp Melinka” where the prisoners presented a show every Friday. Our friendship was brief but very intense. Several times, in the middle of a serious conversation he would disconnect and climb aboard an imaginary boat called El Supertricio and he would invite me to sail with him through the kingdom of his imagination. At such moments, I was able to forget that I was in prison.
“Capitán, el rumbo es una isla errante” is on the phonograph record Documento (1986), as are another 26 songs inspired by my imprisonment at different detention centres of the dictatorship.

Several of my friends and comrades disappeared after being arrested. The dictatorship denied knowledge of their whereabouts but I knew they were lying. Many of these people had been in prison with me in the dungeons of Villa Grimaldi. This song was sung in a cell of Valparaíso Jail with one comrade keeping watch next to the door in case a prison guard approached. Today, in addition to the other 26 songs that were born in prison, ‘Canción del desaparecido’ is included in my record Documento (1986) that I produced in Germany on the tenth anniversary of my exile.

In May 1937, a German “scientific delegation” was received to Iceland with great ceremony. Its official task was carrying out geological researches in the inner desert area of Óðáðahraun. Shortly after, however, some shepherds noticed strange things were happening and warned the authorities. It was soon discovered that the false “scientists” were Wehrmacht officers making surveys in order to mark out a landing strip for airplanes and a bridgehead for a possible invasion of the island, strategically essential for the war to come.
Though totally unarmed, Iceland's authorities expelled immediately the entire German delegation, confiscated all survey maps and instruments and asked official apology (and received it, incredibly enough) by Hitler's government.
Iceland's traditions include immediate composition of folksongs commenting on any event, a practice still living nowadays.... (Continues)

La versione tradizionale completa e dialogata, con indicazione delle parti e dei rispettivi compiti. Si tratta con tutta probabilità di una versione ottocentesca, come quasi tutte le altre pervenuteci. Le strofe riassuntive, o esplicative (in pratica quelle cantate in duetto, a parte la prima) sono probabilmente spurie rispetto all'impianto della canzone tradizionale.
The traditional version of the ballad, complete and based on dialogues, with stating of roles and relative tasks. It is probably a 18th century version, like almost all versions still available. The summarizing, or explanatory verses (practically,
the all the verses sung by man and woman together, except the first one) are probably spurious with relation to the structure of the traditional song.

"It was just at the time of the Vietnam War and Nixon. It was looking bad out there. That song meant a lot to a lot of people during that time--especially me."
(Jonathan Edwards)
I wrote ‘Sunshine’ in 1970 in probably less time than it takes to sing it. It was the height of the Vietnam-Cambodia adventure there in Southeast Asia. I was really saddened by that and really angry… It’s an angry young man’s complaint about what was going on politically and militarily in our name. I was knowing people that were coming back from the war and they were never the same – if they came back at all.
I had just undergone a really violent draft board pre-induction physical, where I ended up in an emergency room and ended up in a sanitarium I guess you’d call it. It was all in the interest of not going to Vietnam, but it left an indelible mark on me for life.
We were in Ohio and I moved my band... (Continues)

Keep the Home Fires Burning (Till the Boys Come Home)
![Keep the Home Fires Burning (Till the Boys Come Home)](img/upl/Keep_The_Home_Fires_Burning.jpg)
1914
Music by Ivor Novello
Words by Lena Gilbert Ford
Ivor Novello, born in Cardiff, was only 21 when he wrote Keep the Home Fires Burning (Till the Boys Come Home) in 1914, which touched all families at the outbreak of war with its hopeful message. It was an instant hit. Novello’s war service was less glorious. After a stint in the Royal Navy Air Service, crashing two planes, he enjoyed a long postwar career as an actor, writer and composer of musicals. The Ivor Novello awards are named in his honour. The words of the song are by the American Lena Gilbert Ford, who was divorced and living with her son in London. Both were killed by a German air raid on London in March 1918.

Ease My Revolutionary Mind
![Ease My Revolutionary Mind](img/upl/woody-guthrie-at-100.jpg)
[1946]
Parole e musica di Woody Guthrie
Una canzone mai incisa dall’autore, riprese recentemente da Tom Morello negli album di tributo collettivo “Note Of Hope: A Celebration Of Woody Guthrie” (2011) e “Woody Guthrie At 100! Live At The Kennedy Center” (2013)
[Nell’immediato secondo dopoguerra] quella di Guthrie era una voce sempre più isolata che, dal deserto, invocava la ricostituzione della società americana e la distruzione del capitalismo. Nel luglio del 1946, scrisse così ad Asch:
“Questo è il sistema che vorrei vedere estinguersi. Ha ammazzato diversi membri della mia famiglia, ne ha gassati diversi e ne ha traumatizzati molti di più nell'ultima guerra mondiale e, in questa guerra mondiale appena passata, ne ha dispersi molti altri. Ha fatto fuggire famiglie di miei parenti e amici, centinaia di migliaia di persone, costringendole a vagare, senza una casa, peggio che se fossero... (Continues)

Bob Dylan: Subterranean Homesick Blues
![Bob Dylan: Subterranean Homesick Blues](img/upl/Anarchychumba.jpg)
Visto che nell'introduzione di B.B. è citato il titolo "Give the anarchist a cigarette", c'è una canzone dei Chumbawamba dal medesimo titolo e contenuta nell'album Anarchy del 1994 che proprio a Dylan è dedicata. Il bootleg citato è successivo (2002), così come il libro di Mike Farren (2001).
A song by Chumbawamba from their album Anarchy. The title refers to Bob Dylan. Dylan was at one point in an interview told that people were referring to him as an anarchist. He replied gruffly, "Albert, give the anarchist a cigarette", essentially shrugging off the idea with a sarcastic joke. To anyone knowing the tremendous social influence and power that Dylan's early songs had, this comment is incredibly cynical, and displays a fundamental shift in Dylan's politics and outlook for his own role in society.
Albert is Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, who also managedRitchie Havens and Peter, Paul... (Continues)
