So we've finally reached 6000. As usual for the "Thousands AWS", we've built a special page: this time, it's a series of antiwar and antimilitarist satyrical cartoons from Italy and other countries. But this page is preceded by an equally important initiative: the contribution of the whole Rwandan Song Cycle by Lorne Clarke and Tom Flannery. The 1994 Rwandan genocide told with a series of 17 terrible and beautiful songs.

LA CCG NUMERO 6000
E così eccoci giunti anche alla CCG n° 6000; ci abbiamo messo un po' più tempo del solito, stavolta, dato che la n° 5000 risale al gennaio scorso. Però queste ultime mille CCG sono state tra le più importanti mai inserite, oltre ad aver visto una progressiva trasformazione del nostro sito in spazio esclusivamente dedicato ai testi, alle traduzioni e ai commenti in vero spazio interattivo, con la possibilità di scaricare mp3 (tramite links) e video.

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)

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.

Parole e musica del Collettivo Ticino Riva Sinistra
Il Collettivo Ticino Riva Sinistra di Nino Jomini, come oramai dovrebbe essere noto a tutti coloro che frequentano il nostro sito, era di Castano Primo; e di Castano primo era anche Giovanni Ardizzone, lo studente ucciso il 27 ottobre 1962 durante una manifestazione per la pace in occasione della Crisi di Cuba. Sull'Ardizzone già il CTRS aveva scritto una canzone. Quest'altra, più lunga ed esplicita (ma che utilizza senz'altro molte parti di "Dopo Ardisun"; quasi sembrano due "rami" della stessa canzone), la riprendiamo (ricopiandola) invece dalla brochure "Il canzoniere del Collettivo Ticino Riva Sinistra - Quindici canzoni popolari con testo a fronte" edito dalla Cooperativa "Il Guado" di Rebecchetto e fattoci pervenire da Simone Galli di Saronno (che non finiremo mai di ringraziare).

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)

Il mercenario di Lucera
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.

Povera mamma
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.

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)

Compagno Franceschi
Qualche anno fa mentre curiosavo tra i dischi di mia mamma ne ho trovato uno con copertina in bianco e nero con il titolo "Compagno Franceschi".
Superfluo dire che mia mamma faceva parte del movimento e ogni volta che ascolto questa canzone mi vengono i brividi nel pensare a come si possa morire così ingiustamente!
Sfortunatamente però posseggo solo una copia del disco e da nessuna parte nemmeno tra i programmi pear to pear sono riuscito a trovarla per poterla scaricare.
In compenso però la suono e la canto con la chitarra perchè credo che sia una bellissima canzone di lotta contro le ingiustizie e contro i sopprusi; perchè nel cuore e nel canto di chi lotterà il Compagno Franceschi vivrà!

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...

Running The World
Dal primo solo album, intitolato semplicemente "Jarvis" (2006)... e non si può che essere d'accordo con Jarvis: sono le teste di cazzo a fare ancora il bello e il cattivo tempo in giro per il mondo. Dedicato a Bush e Blair, in particolare.
Well did you hear, there’s a natural order.

[2005]
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)

Da Vietnam-krigen sidst i 1960’erne var på sit højeste – i hvert fald i mediernes dækning af den – var krigstemaet et udbredt diskussionsemne blandt unge verden over. På Woodstock-festivalen i sommeren 1969 spillede Jimi Hendrix en nu legendarisk improvisation over den amerikanske nationalhymne, The Star Spangled Banner, hvor han med sin virtuose brug af elektrisk guitar og diverse elektroniske hjælpemidler molestrerede den til ukendelighed i et veritabelt støjhelvede (inklusive lyden af faldende bomber) og dermed gjorde det klart at Vietnam-krigen...
