Canción del desaparecido
Traduzione inglese da cantoscautivos.org
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.

C1. SCARBOROUGH FAIR
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.

The Children Came Back
2014
In celebration of 2014’s Naidoc Week, Briggs, along with Gurrumul, Dewayne Everettsmith and B2M performed “The Children Came Back” live on Australian radio-station Triple J as part of their long running segment ‘Like A Version’.
A year later in lead up to Naidoc Week 2015 and the release of Archie Roache’s 25th Anniversary Edition of ‘Charcoal Lane,’ a studio version was released of the song.
The song is somewhat of a triumphant sequel to Archie Roach’s deeply sad “They Took the Children Away”
The first verse of Brigg’s version makes references a number of successful contemporary indigenous people including Gavin Wanganeen, Anthony Mundine, Adam Goodes, Patty Mills and Cathy Freeman. The second verse delves a little deeper into past figures such as Doug Nicholls, Lionel Rose & William Cooper. The third verse finds Brigg’s bringing it back a closer to home.

Solid Rock
1982
Spirit of place
Shane Howard had an epiphany when he went camping out near Uluru in 1981. That's when the idea for his song Solid Rock came into his head.
Solid Rock was Howard's response to the injustices he saw in some of Australia's indigenous communities in 1981.
I realised that this country that I grew up in, that I thought was my country, wasn't. I had to reassess my whole relationship with the land and the landscape, and understand that we had come from somewhere else, and we had dis-empowered a whole race of people when we arrived.

Death of Ellenton
[1951]
Scritta da tal D. Smith (?) e da Jesse “Pa” Johnson, fondatore e leader di questo gruppo corale bianco americano degli anni 40.
Nel repertorio di folksingers come Rosalie Sorrels, scomparsa di recente, nel giugno scorso, e come The New Lost City Ramblers
La cittadina di Ellenton, South Carolina, non ha avuto un bel destino. Negli anni successivi alla Guerra Civile fu teatro di sanguinosissimi scontri tra gruppi paramilitari suprematisti, legati al Partito Democratico (!), e militanti del Partito Repubblicano - quello del presidente Ulysses S. Grant, ex condottiero nordista – una parte del quale si batteva per la protezione e l'inclusione sociale degli schiavi liberati.
Poi nel 1950 la cittadina fu interamente evacuata e cancellata dalle mappe perchè il governo aveva deciso di costruire proprio lì un grande impianto nucleare, il Savannah River Plant, destinato all'arricchimento... (continuer)

They Took the Children Away
1990
Charcoal Lane
La generazione rubata, o in inglese Stolen generation, è il nome con cui vengono generalmente indicati quei bambini australiani aborigeni e isolani dello stretto di Torres che furono allontanati dalle loro famiglie da parte dei governi federali australiani e missioni religiose ai sensi di alcune norme parlamentari vigenti nei singoli Stati. Partendo dal 1869, gli allontanamenti forzati continuarono fino al 1969, anche se in alcuni luoghi proseguirono sino agli anni '70.
Celandosi dietro leggi di tutela dei minori, le leggi che favorirono l'allontanamento dei bambini aborigeni di fatto condussero all'assimilazione coatta degli aborigeni.

Hello Stranger
L'ospitalità verso lo straniero è alle radici della civiltà e l'amicizia fra i popoli è l'alternativa principale alla guerra.In tempi di xenofobia e innalzamento di muri, è confortante risentire questa canzone scritta da A P (Alvin Pleasant Delaney) Carter nel 1937, probabilmente sulla base di un blues popolare, incisa dalla Carter Family nel 1938 e ripresa in seguito da molti autori statunitensi.
Oltre che dalla Carter Family (1938), è stata riproposta negli anni da molti artisti, fra cui Ester Flatt e Earl Scrugg (1964), The Flatlanders (1972), Emmylou Harris (Luxury liner, 1977), Helen Carter (1980), Doc e Merle Watson (1984), fino ai giorni nostri

Blackness of the Night
(1967)
Parole e musica di Steven Demetre Georgiou, conosciuto come Cat Stevens e poi Yusuf Islam
Dal secondo album di Cat Stevens, New Masters, del 1967.
Reincisa dallo stesso autore, che ora si fa chiamare Yusuf Islam, 50 anni dopo nel nuovo disco "The Laughing Apple".
"Blackness of the Night" - ha raccontato Yusuf - "era una delle mie prime canzoni di protesta degli anni '60. Sono cresciuto nella Londra del dopoguerra quando i ricordi degli anni del conflitto erano ancora recenti e gli edifici sventrati dalle bombe non erano ancora stati ricostruiti. La canzone rifletteva la sensazione di vuoto dei giovani della mia generazione nel vagare per le strade buie, di notte, da soli, pensando a come sopravvivere in un futuro oscuro e incerto."

"Paul came to the house with his bass - that was a good sign, I played him Peace Dream, and he said, 'Sure, I'll play on it,' it had the John Lennon line, so it was natural."
In Peace Dream, Ringo sings: "Can you imagine all of this coming true/It's really up to all of us to do/Just like John Lennon said, in Amsterdam from his bed."
Ringo said: "For me to write that was a normal thing to do. I knew the man. And I really believe that if you, or anyone else, had written it, it would've been weird.
"I was around when he did all that. I also wrote a song for George (Harrison). So it's just part of it for me, they've been my friends for so long."

21A. The Maid and the Palmer interpretata da Maddy Prior e Martin Carthy in Live at Last! (1978)
The Maid and the Palmer performed by Maddy Prior and Martin Carthy in Live at Last! (1978)
Live at Last! ("Dal vivo alla fine!") è, al tempo stesso, l'undicesimo album degli Steeleye Span, il loro primo e unico registrato dal vivo nella formazione storica (ma si veda questa precisazione di Flavio Poltronieri) (il 7 marzo 1978 al Winter Garden di Bournemouth nel Dorset) e l'ultimo prima della "svolta" autografa e del gruppo "part time"(prima della rifondazione del 2002 e del ritorno di Maddy Prior).

Sierra Blanca Massacre
La canzone è ispirata ad una poesia, scritto in spagnolo, ritrovato nel quaderno di un giovane messicano, Rosario Caldera Salazar, uno di 18 giovani messicani trovati morti di calore ed asfissia il 2 Luglio 1987 in un vagone merci sul quale tentavano di passare illegalmente il confine e che era rimasto parcheggiato nella stazione di Sierra Blanca, in Texas. Era intitolato ``El Ilegal,`` o ``The Illegal.``
``With pain I left my country,`` diceva la poesia. ``Today there is talk of the Rio Bravo which I`ll cross. . . . How beautiful is the United States. Illinois, California and Tennessee. But over in my country, a piece of the sky belongs to me. Goodbye Laredo, Welsaco and San Antonio.
Houston and Dallas are in my song.
Goodbye, El Paso.
Your friend, the illegal, has returned.``

Incident, Wallis Plains, 1826
Incident, Wallis Plains, 1826
© Tony Smith 2017
John Eckford, brother of my 3 x great grandmother Jane, had an eventful life. Born in 1801, he was involved in the mistake which led to his father William being condemned to death for sheep stealing. He was appointed Constable at Wallis Plains (Maitland) in 1825.
Following violence between settlers and Aboriginal people, Governor Darling despatched Lt Lowe to the ‘frontier’. Colonial Secretary Bathurst issued orders that the raids of the locals should be repelled just as would raids by any other ‘state’. Aboriginal people were to be considered invaders in their own land.
Lowe was committed for trial following the summary execution of a prisoner ‘Jacky Jacky’. He was quickly found not guilty by the jury which consisted mainly of army officers. During the trial, the question arose of whether Aboriginal people were subjects of the crown and... (continuer)

Brano d'apertura dell'album d'esordio dei Prophets of Rage
Tom Morello - guitar
Timmy C - bass
Brad Wilk - beats
Chuck D - vocals
B-real - vocals
DJ Lord - turntables
"The Western world has created biased structures and stereotypes. Opposing viewpoints and movements are seen as radical rather than diversity. 'Radical Eyes' is the lens everything is viewed through, any life movement in opposition is considered radicalized."
"Il mondo occidentale ha creato strutture e stereotipi tendenziosi. I movimenti di opposizione e punti di vista diversi sono visti come estremisti invece che essere considerati pluralità. Gli occhi radicali sono la lente attraverso cui si guarda al mondo, per cui ogni movimento di opposizione è bollato come estremista."

Sunshine
(1971)
"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... (continuer)

Keep the Home Fires Burning (Till the Boys Come Home)
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
[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... (continuer)

Bob Dylan: Subterranean Homesick Blues
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.
