Down Rodeo

Down Rodeo
(1996)
Album: Evil Empire

Rodeo Drive è la strada dello shopping di Beverly Hills,

“Down Rodeo” was a promotional single by American rock band Rage Against the Machine. The song was intended as the third single from their Evil Empire album, although a domestic single was never released.

The song addresses social inequality between the rich and poor of America, and the simmering class warfare that existed in the band’s home city of Los Angeles following the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. “Down Rodeo” was written just three years after six days of riots were sparked by police violence against minorities in the city. The full lyric must be put into context of the time period and the beating of Rodney King to be understood: “So now I’m rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun, These people ain’t seen a brown skin man, Since their grandparents bought one”

Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun

Power

Power
(2024)

Carlotta Sarina, in arte Lotta, è una giovane artista poliedrica e un’attivista per il clima.
Originaria delle colline di Salsomaggiore Terme, si è trasferita a Milano dopo il liceo per studiare musica. Qui, fuori dal Conservatorio, e mossa da una crescente preoccupazione per lo stato del pianeta, ha conosciuto il mondo dell’attivismo ambientale.



POWER sarà lanciata su tutte le piattaforme il 27 maggio notte, dopo il release party organizzato insieme a @planetboumboum e @lamagma_ a Parigi:
cantatela,
ballatela,
fateci video stupidi,
utilizzatela durante le occupazioni,
le azioni, i cortei.
Saremo a Parigi ma vi sentiremo vicin*.

Facciamo sapere al mondo che la giustizia climatica valica ogni confine geografico, culturale, linguistico: dove non arrivano i governi, arriviamo noi a indicare l’unica strada possibile per costruire il nostro futuro, quella della contaminazione... (continuer)

A proposito di antisemitismo

L’antisemitismo é manifestazione di, pregiudizio, rancore o di odio verso gli ebrei, espresso anche attraverso teorie cospirative e attribuzione di colpe senza fondamento. Purtroppo di recente l’epiteto antisemita viene usato troppo e a sproposito per respingere qualunque rilievo critico sulla politica dello stato israeliano, anche se lieve e supportato da evidenze indiscutibili. Schematizzando, il corto circuito è il seguente: l’analisi critica verso aspetti della politica e società israeliana viene classificata come antisionismo. A sua volta l’antisionismo viene equiparato tout court all’antisemitismo. Scatta a questo punto il senso di colpa e l’autocensura della comunità o del singolo malcapitato raggiunti dall’epiteto antisemita:... (continuer)

Digwell Carol

Digwell Carol
[1989]
Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Leslie Fish
Album / Albumi: Firestorm - Songs of the Third World War

The song is a small piece of science fiction masquerading as a traditional song about what initially sounds like a pagan festival. Imagining a kind of peasantry that's survived the nuclear holocaust, the song is a "carol" for a holiday in which all of the corpses and dead crops from radiation sickness are piled in a ceremonial mound to "keep the devil down."

By the end of the song, it is revealed that the "devil" is the word for the powerful people who've retreated to underground bunkers, and that by heaping the dead on top of the doors to the bunkers, they'll be kept in "hell."
It is the time of Digwell, now Summer's gone away

"Forever Chemicals (more accurately known as PFAS, per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are everywhere. In your blood, in your water, in your pets, and in your taco wrappers.

We need to work together to find and correct the sources of PFAS contamination around the world. This will take years of research with support from our federal government in the US and governments around the world. You can educate yourself on PFAS, contact your local, state, and federal governments and express your concern and your support for researching, regulating, and cleaning up these "forever chemicals".

Oh Dolours

Oh Dolours
2024

"Oh Dolours" is an ode to Dolours Price, a radical feminist and volunteer in the Irish Republican Army. It's an exploration of the sacrifices people make in the name of liberation, and what kinds of compromises are actually worth the cost — particularly for women, who face sexist double standards even in militant resistance. We recruited the singers from Indoor Friends to join us in the third verse, to make sure that women's voices were actually heard.

Commercio di armi

Il 26 Gennaio 2023 alla trasmissione “L’aria che tira” su La 7 il ministro Crosetto dichiarava:
[…] Noi ci siamo resi disponibili a dare delle armi che non attaccassero i russi ma difendessero dagli attacchi missilistici. Quindi daremo un sistema di difesa che consenta agli ucraini di abbattere i missili prima che arrivino al suolo. Che mi pare sia una cosa difficilmente criticabile. Io non riesco a criticare un aiuto dato a una popolazione per difendersi da un missile che cade su una scuola, un condominio o una centrale elettrica”. Quanto ai “droni fuori sacco” se fosse una notizia vera “sarebbe un reato perché il ministero della Difesa e lo Stato non ne sono a conoscenza e quindi se fosse vera qualcuno dovrebbe finire...

Il titolo della canzone, come ha spiegato uno dei suoi co-autori, il giornalista culturale Sama’an Ashrawi, “Maktub”—scritto in arabo come مكتوب— è "un tipo di destino per il quale devi lavorare, un cammino attraverso il cosmo con un lieto fine solo se rimani sulla giusta via."

Merry Old England

Merry Old England
(2024)
Album: All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade

The people who travel here and risk life and limb to come to England and try and make a life for themselves is something we spend quite a lot of time talking about. A lot of these people are trained doctors, they speak four or five languages. It’s not that I’m pro-illegal immigration, I’ve just got this thing against borders. It’s very easy to create fear and anger and hostility about people.

Pete Doherty

*

Le persone che viaggiano fino a qui e rischiano la vita per venire in Inghilterra e cercare di costruirsi una vita sono un argomento di cui parliamo spesso. Molti di queste persone sono medici qualificati, parlano quattro o cinque lingue.

Non è che io sia a favore dell'immigrazione illegale, semplicemente ho qualcosa contro i confini. È molto facile creare paura, rabbia e ostilità nei confronti delle persone senza ragione.

The song’s message is direct and harsh, as highlighted by its title, “War Isn’t Murder.” However, it’s full of lyrical wordplay of the kind that someone who has been doing this a while usually comes up with. The whole idea of the song is to needle at the semantics that people use to discuss and paper over the nature of combat.

The Story of  O.J.
[2017]
Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Shawn Corey Carter (Jay-Z)
Album: 4:44

In the summer of 2017, Jay-Z dropped his thirteenth studio album 4:44 to near-rapturous fan reception and critical praise. The project was Jay’s most vulnerable and intimate to date, with the title track famously confirming allegations of infidelity mentioned on his wife Beyoncé’s 2016 opus Lemonade. However, LP standout track “The Story Of O.J.” was less personal and more societal, as the Jigga Man addressed racism and stereotypes within the black community with his signature incisiveness.

“The Story Of O.J.” features lyrics referencing infamous figure O.J. Simpson and his alleged belief that his wealth and influence transcended his race. “I’m not black, I’m O.J.” is a line rumored to have been uttered by Simpson in an interview, and it was quoted in the Emmy-winning... (continuer)

American Folksongs of Protest by John Greenway
Philadelphia University Pennsylvania Press 1953
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."

Tangle Eye Blues - Tangle Eye
Prison Songs, Vol. 1: Murderous Home, " Historical Recordings From Parchman Farm 1947-'48." - The Alan Lomax Collection.

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... (continuer)

Il Canale dell’Erie (Erie Canal) è un canale storico che scorre da est a ovest tra il fiume Hudson e il grande lago Erie. Storico sì, perché fu completato e inaugurato due secoli fa, nel 1825, e fu la prima via d’acqua a mettere in diretto contatto l’Oceano Atlantico con i Grandi Laghi nordamericani, che sono un vero e proprio oceano interno. E fu l’inizio dei grandi trasporti, umani e di merci. E’ quindi abbastanza curioso che questa canzone mi sia venuta in mente, dopo non mi ricordo più quanto tempo che non la ascoltavo e cantavo,...

Two versions of the same song. First in TW Higginson* Army Life In A Black Regiment (pg. 169 XXXIV)
[For singing this “the negroes had been put in jail in Georgetown, S.C., at the outbreak of the Rebellion. ‘We’ll soon be free’ was too dangerous an assertion, and though the chant was an old one, it was no doubt sung with redoubled emphasis during the new events. ‘De Lord will call us home’ was evidently thought to be a symbolical verse; for, as a little drummer boy explained it to me, showing all his white teeth as he sat in the moonlight by the door of my tent, ‘Dey tink de Lord mean for say de Yankees.’”——T.W.H.]

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... (continuer)

“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... (continuer)

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?

Cease Fire

Cease Fire
(December 2023)
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.

A luta continua (Keep on Looting)

A luta continua (Keep on Looting)
2020

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
(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.

Children Drumming in Gaza

Children Drumming in Gaza
Children drumming in Gaza

I cannot even begin to understand how governments can fail to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. They know - absolutely know - that Palestinian children are dying in droves. The children are killed by bombs, maimed, traumatised, experience amputations without anaesthesia, and they are starving. I chose a tune which has been around since about 1710. Children should sing this happily but we are destroying childhood.
