Album: Labudova pesma



L'album Labudova pesma, uscito nel 1992 (cioè in piene guerre jugoslave), era l'undicesimo della rock band serba Riblja Čorba (che significa “Zuppa di pesce”) e doveva essere l'ultimo: da qui il titolo di “Canto del cigno”. La band e il suo discusso frontman, Bora Đorđević, tornarono poi sulla loro decisione. L'album fu registrato a Vienna alla fine del 1991 con la collaborazione del tastierista Oliver Mandić, un altro personaggio assai discusso: noto per apparire in scena travestito da donna (che aveva provocato scandalo nella ex Jugoslavia), doveva diventare proprio con questo album un membro ufficiale della band. Vi fu però un violento scontro tra Mandić e Đorđević, dovuto anche al differente atteggiamento dei due riguardo alla guerra in corso: Mandić, amico d'infanzia... (Continues)

Un bellissimo singolo del 1981.

Incredibilmente mai pubblicata in un album, è sicuramente un pezzo memorabile. I Clash riescono magnificamente a incorporare influenze dub, hip hop, e addirittura disco senza snaturare il loro sound.

La linea di basso è - per stessa ammissione di Strummer - "ispirata" da Another One Bites the Dust - il grande successo dei Queen pubblicato l'anno precedente.

Per quanto riguarda il testo siamo però completamente in territorio Clash - l'appello di una Radio Pirata per la lotta e per la libertà.

Album: "Anime salve"

L'ultima canzone dell'ultimo disco di Fabrizio De André, Anime Salve (1996). Smisurata preghiera (ispirata dal "Gabbiere" di Alvaro Mutis) è invece secondo me non solo la somma dei percorsi del disco, ma anche di quelli della vita poetica di De Andrè. Fortissima la presenza di Mutis qui ripreso sia per la "Preghiera" di Maqroll, che al contrario recita "Ricorda Signore che il tuo servo ha osservato pazientemente le leggi del branco. Non dimenticare il suo volto", sia in più punti, a partire da quel "gli elementi del disastro" che ricorda appunto una delle raccolte più note del poeta. Ma De Andrè attraverso la poesia stavolta ci offre un vero, grande affresco a tinte forte della solitudine libera e scelta, presupposto necessario per "consegnare alla morte... (Continues)

Canzone legata alla vicenda di Sacco e Vanzetti, segnalataci dall'instancabile Alessandro, che la ricorda cantata dalla sua nonna paterna. Sembra che il testo non sia completo e manca il titolo (scegliamo quindi, secondo l'uso corrente, di utilizzare come titolo il primo verso).

Della canzone si parla in un articolo di Lele Odiardo su "Umanità Nova" (n. 28 dell'8 settembre 2002):

Nonostante il fascismo, le vicende di Sacco e Vanzetti entrano nell'immaginario popolare e suscitano una spontanea solidarietà ...

In quegli anni le notizie arrivavano, ancor prima che attraverso i giornali, con i cantastorie che si esibivano nelle piazze i giorni di festa e di mercato. L'indimenticato Tavio Cosio in un suo scritto riporta il testo di una canzone diffusa all'epoca.

Ricorda ancora il farmacista villafallettese: "La canzone in questione non ricordo se sia stata scritta nel 1927 o nel 1928, ma... (Continues)

I had a great show a while back in Olympia, Washington and met Pat Maley there. I was recording a few new songs at his studio to put on the web, and at some point he suggested that I put out my next CD on his label, Yoyo Records. Thinking that to be a great idea, I went about figuring out what I wanted to do about that, and this is the end result.

Four cities were involved in this decisively non-Luddite production. I recorded vocal and guitar tracks in Houston, and Kristine Pettersen (Thistle) did harmony vocals later in the same place, Sugar Hill Studios with John Griffin... (Continues)

"For a beautiful Salvadoran woman I saw in a photo on the cover of the New York Times. I was sitting in a café in Seattle in November, 1989, while she was trying to overthrow the US-backed fascists in El Salvador. Standing majestically on a rooftop in San Salvador, dressed in fatigues and an AK. Too bad those SAM's got intercepted en route from Nicaragua." -David Rovics.
