Clarke & Flannery love to hear your thoughts on the song cycle. Email them to anthracite@rocketmail.com.
This is not a history lesson. We're not historians. We're songwriters. And anyway... how the hell is anybody going to explain the systematic state sponsored slaughter of close to a million people with a handful of songs? We're not.
Truth is, there is no explanation for the Rwandan genocide. What there is in abundance, however, is ignorance. If these songs make just one person dig a little deeper, then we've made our money back, so to speak. We've touched upon specific pieces of the horror, but don't even pretend to be able to understand it from the Rwandan point of view. We're observers from afar. Interested, heartbroken observers....but merely observers nonetheless. Please... (Continues)

Interview of Vietnam War veteran Rich Latrelle by Jane Pauley (NBC-TV).
Rich Latrelle was deeply affected by his 1st kill:
a Viet Cong soldier, whose photo of the man & his daughter Rich kept in his wallet for the next 30 years.
He left the photo at the Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Washington, DC, thinking he had achieved completion.
Among the thousands of mementos left at the Wall each year, the curator of the museum chose that photo for the cover of a book written about those objects.
Vet friends brought the book to Rich's attention.
Other acquaintences arranged for his meeting the daughter in her village in Vietnam.
Not knowing what to expect, he hesitantly approached her home, only to be greeted warmly with acceptance, honor, forgiveness & compassion.

Song Of Darfurian Rape Victims
Anonymous
Attenzione: questa è la traduzione inglese del testo originale. Non conosciamo l'autore della canzone
Informazioni tratte da questo articolo
Lo stupro come arma di guerra contro le donne
La guerra è un crimine. Lo stupro è il peggior crimine dei crimini.
"Lo stupro è il processo consapevole di intimidazione grazie al quale tutti gli uomini tengono tutte le donne in stato di paura"
Susan Brownmiller.
Non si tratta di un atto incontrollato. Lo stupro viene commesso dopo essere stato vagheggiato, pianificato, vagliato, preparato ed è un atto che cerca simbolicamente la morte della propria vittima, ovvero che essa desideri essere morta. Lo stupro in guerra è anche uno strumento di esilio forzato, di distruzione di una comunità, di un gruppo o di un popolo. Lo stupro è infine spettacolo: qualcosa che deve essere visto e sentito e raccontato agli altri.
L'orrore palese del conflitto armato... (Continues)

Al signor Venturi andrebbe passata la sveglia perchè evidentemente dorme, come la stragrande maggioranza dei suoi "correligionari". Parlare di un presunto coinvolgimento di Morsello nella strage di Bologna, stanti gli atti processuali, è lesivo della sua dignità ancor più delle parole da trivio usate dal Venturi, che manifesta (su un sito peraltro "pacifista") ben scarsa considerazione per la vita ed altrettanto scarso rispetto per la morte.
Le auguro che i suoi figli non si imbattano un domani (come potrebbero fare i figli di Massimo Morsello oggi) nel web in un altro Venturi aduso a sputare fiele sulla sua memoria.
Ma come, sig. AF (Anonimo Fascista), mi vuole passare soltanto la sveglia e non un po' di olio di ricino o di manganello? Ach so, non ci sono più i fascisti di una volta... Ad ogni modo, come dirle, io di tutta questa discussione decisamente imbecille mi sarei anche vagamente... (Continues)

VÍCTOR JARA, LA ETERNIDAD DEL CANTO
de Nano Acevedo
No hace mucho en Chile el latifundista no sólo era dueño de la tierra sino de sus peones a los cuales trataba a patadas y arrastraba a su cama a las hijas de estos, -muchachas dulces que se casaban mañana-, cobrando el asqueroso “derecho a pernada”.El cobre, el “Sueldo de Chile” como lo llamaba el presidente Allende, era robado por el gringo corsario, pero llegó el Doctor y “mandó a parar”, aunque todavía hacen nata los escamoteadores que se resisten a pagar royalties.
Bajo dictadura, la brutalidad milica no sólo destrozaba los pocos enseres del obrero, sino violaba a sus hijas y asesinaba a diestra y siniestra por el gusto de hacerlo ¡No me vengan a mí ahora a cantar villancicos!; lo de Antuco fue mandar a la muerte a los hijos del pobre, así inermes y ateridos de frío.

Ho scaricato questa canzone da internet, ma non completa. Ve la invio ugualmente, nella speranza che voi sappiate completarne il testo (quello che vi mando l'ho trascritto all'ascolto e non giuro che sia esatto, essendo in romanesco)
Il testo completo è stato poi inviato da Simone Valentini
Il testo completo è stato poi inviato da Simone Valentini
Brano contenuto nell'album "Gabriella Ferri" del 1966.
Si parla di Napoleone e della meglio gioventù, questo a me fa pensare a Pier Paolo Pasolini, che ha così intitolato una raccolta di poesie, di cui Gabriella ha interpretato altre canzoni come "Il valzer della toppa" e "Cristo al mandrione" e che ha scritto anche altri testi, poi musicati, sulla guerra, come "Il soldato di Napoleone" interpretata da Sergio Endrigo.

perfetto!
erano anni che mi interrogavo su quella frase "nun ce ne fotte d'o rre burbone" che mi aveva sempre insospettito, poi ho sentito la versione alternativa e mi è venuto il dubbio che potesse esistere una controversia..
dapprima ho pensato a un bennato mistificatore, poi ho letto le risposte e a questo punto si pone un problema di filoborbonici che hanno modificato la canzone...
a chi credere? boh! la cosa però è appassionante e secondo me merita maggior rilievo filologico. speriamo che il tema venga discusso piu profondamente con contributo dello stesso bennato (il quale però va detto, e stato sgamato da subito da me per una frase mal riuscita, sia che l'abbia inventata lui sia che l'abbia modificata... peccato)

Mio padre ha un buco in gola
![Mio padre ha un buco in gola](img/upl/dischi_761.jpg)
Antonello ha dedicato al padre diverse canzoni: "Mio padre ha un buco in gola"(dall'album "le cose della vita", 1973) , che prende il titolo dalla ferita subita da Vincenzo Italo Venditti nella seconda guerra mondiale. La "leggenda" racconta che un proiettile rimbalzò sulla fibbia della cinta e si conficcò in gola.
La canzone, dai toni molti aspri, è un atto di accusa verso i genitori giudicati dal giovane Venditti estremamente "chiusi" e simboli di un'Italia che non gli piace. La madre è "professoressa" di latino e greco, il papà proprio negli anni della contestazione è vice prefetto di Roma. Da notare il "simpatico" aneddoto secondo cui durante l'occupazione della facoltà di Architettura (Valle Giulia, vedi la canzone "Qui", "Cuore", 1984), il vice-prefetto chiamò con il megafono suo figlio dicendo "Antonello non fare il cretino, vai a casa"; Tornando alla canzone "Mio padre ha un buco...

Parodia della canzone (del 1988) Tjikker Likker Tjau Tjau di Kim Larsen & Bellamy
A parody of the 1988 Danish hit Tjikker Likker Tjau Tjau by Kim Larsen & Bellamy
Il testo è ripreso da protestsange.dk
Lyrics are reproduced from protestsange.dk
Kort efter at indspilningerne til protestsange.dk var gået i gang, opstod den forkætrede krise affødt af Muhammed-tegningerne som er blevet kaldt den største udenrigspolitiske krise i dansk politik siden Anden Verdenskrig. Den blev også til en indenrigspolitisk krise, fordi begivenhederne satte fokus på VK-regeringens anvendelse af Dansk Folkeparti som dens parlamentariske grundlag, et samarbejde som mange vurderede som værende integrationsskadeligt og til skade for landets omdømme. Krisen har siden sat sit præg på hele samfundslivet og altså også på dette album. Die Dumme Dänen besluttede sig for at kommentere krisen ved at lave... (Continues)

Tanto o ci siamo capiti, o non te ne frega un cazzo.

Questa canzone ha un'intensità particolare, scorre come un torrente di notte.. la rabbia e la misura sono una sola e identica cosa... è la dimostrazione che la malinconia è alla radice un fatto politico, se quest'espressione ha ancora un senso...

Anche per me era nuova, nelle varie versioni che ho ascoltato mancava; l'ho trovata su Cancioneros de trovadores, dove, in effetti, era citata tra parentesi. Ho controllato in altre fonti e risultano solo le prime due strofe. Non so, forse non viene eseguita abitualmente.

This is not a history lesson. We're not historians. We're songwriters. And anyway... how the hell is anybody going to explain the systematic state sponsored slaughter of close to a million people with a handful of songs? We're not.
Truth is, there is no explanation for the Rwandan genocide. What there is in abundance, however, is ignorance. If these songs make just one person dig a little deeper, then we've made our money back, so to speak. We've touched upon specific pieces of the horror, but don't even pretend to be able to understand it from the Rwandan point of view. We're observers from afar. Interested, heartbroken observers....but merely observers nonetheless. Please... (Continues)
