Ballata della pace
![Ballata della pace](img/upl/battaglia.jpg)
Scritta e utilizzata per uno spettacolo dei frati cappuccini dell’Emilia Romagna negli anni settanta. In stile “deandreiano”, resta una delle più belle canzoni in assoluto sul tema pace-guerra. Non risulta purtroppo registrata da nessuna parte. L’autore, frate cappuccino, è stato vicedirettore della bellissima rivista “Messaggero Cappuccino” e oggi vive nei campi nomadi della periferia di Bologna.
Il re grande sovrano mandò i suoi cavalieri

"We Insist! Freedom Now", al quale parteciparono musicisti del calibro di Abbey Lincoln, Coleman Hawkins e Olatunji, è un disco seminale, colonna sonora del movimento per i diritti civili degli afro-americani che nel 1960 era nel periodo di massimo fulgore:
"[...] Nel 1960 Roach compose e incise per la Candid 'We Insist! Freedom Now Suite', un lavoro basato sui testi del poeta e cantante Oscar Brown, Jr e scritto in occasione del centenario della "proclamazione di emancipazione" di Abraham Lincoln. Un'operazione così esplicita, per l'epoca (anche per quanto riguarda la copertina del disco, veramente provocatoria), contribuì all'inserimento di Roach nella 'lista nera' dell'industria discografica americana nella seconda metà degli anni Sessanta, e lo costrinse a diradare la sua presenza in studio d'incisione.

The Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp Songbook
Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp was a peace camp established to protest at nuclear weapon being sited at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. The camp began in September 1981 after a Welsh group called "Women for Life on Earth" arrived at Greenham to protest against the decision of the Government to allow cruise missiles to be based there.
On 1 April 1983, tens of thousands of protestors formed a 14 mile human chain from Greenham to the Aldermaston nuclear power station and the ordnance factory at Burghfield.
On 4 April 1984, the women were evicted from the Common by Newbury District Council. However by nightfall the women all returned to reform the camp.
The last missiles left the camp in 1991 but the camp remained in place until 2000 after protestors won the right to house a memorial on the site.

Gagarin
![Gagarin](img/upl/gagarin.jpg)
L'unica pecca - peraltro non lieve - di questo brano estremamente emozionante di Claudio Baglioni consiste nella totale assenza, dai credits dell'album che lo contiene, di un qualsivoglia riferimento all'opera letteraria dalla quale il cantautore romano ha letteralmente "mutuato", per così dire, il brano stesso.
Questa "Gagarin" baglioniana contiene ad ogni modo un riferimento antibellico circoscritto, sì, ma di grande forza, con quel cosmonauta russo dagli occhi limpidi e dal sorriso coraggioso che se ne sta sospeso in orbita - primo uomo nella storia - a rimirare dall'alto dei cieli la nostra piccola Terra e tutto il suo carico di "bugie, volgarità, calunnie, guerre, maschere antigas".

dall'album "Solo" del 1977
Dalle Crociate (ed ancor prima) fino all'attuale vergognoso pasticcio iracheno, è sempre stato un vizio ricorrente di papi, imperatori, re, presidenti e statisti assortiti quello di far leva sul sentimento religioso delle masse per far digerire loro l'ennesima guerra, colorandola di significati e valori che la guerra non ha mai avuto nè potrà mai avere.
Questo Gesù Cristo "cor vestito de jeans/cor fucile/o cor nome tuo pe' ammazza' la gente", cantato in dialetto romanesco da Claudio Baglioni, ne è una vivida esemplificazione.
Il brano è contenuto nell'album "Solo", del 1977, settimo album del cantautore romano (ma primo suo disco totalmente alieno dalle facili sirene del pop commerciale, veramente maturo e compiuto dal primo all'ultimo brano), ove si parla pochissimo d'amore e molto di solitudini umane, le più varie, espresse da una galleria di ritratti che comprendono...

Peace On Earth
![Peace On Earth](img/upl/coltranepray.jpg)
Brano composto da Coltrane nel 1966 dopo la sua visita al Sacrario di guerra a Nagasaki.
Si parla di quella visita e del brano in questa recensione al libro di Wu Ming 1 intitolato "New Thing"
"C’è una foto di John Coltrane scattata nel luglio del 1966 al Parco Memoriale di Guerra a Nagasaki. Il gigante del jazz è assorto, ritratto in preghiera sul luogo in cui, nel 1945, un bombardiere americano sganciò quell’ordigno di morte sinistramente battezzato ‘Fat Man’. Ho pensato a lungo a questa immagine (in realtà mai vista dai miei occhi, poi “ritrovata” nel capitolo 18: L’uomo dei fantasmi), fin da quando nell’ultimo scorcio del 2001 ebbi notizia dell’inizio dei lavori intorno al primo libro ‘solista’ di Wu Ming 1, aka Roberto Bui, membro fondatore del collettivo Wu Ming.

[1965]
The Byrds
Ho appena scoperto questa canzone; il sito AllMusic mi dice che è di McGuinn/Traditional; il sito in cui ho trovato il testo che è di McGuinn/Crosby. Non so dirvi quale sia la versione giusta. La canzone è nell'album "Turn! Turn! Turn!" del 1965 e ve la invio, qualunque sia il mio/vostro giudizio su JFK e sulla violenza dell'assassinio politico.
Penso che sia un adattamento di un traditional cantato anche da Dylan
L.
Una lunga, lunghissima riflessione prima di approvare la canzone seppure fra gli "Extra". Da un lato, certo, l'assassinio di JFK considerato generalmente un "uomo di pace" (crisi di Cuba ecc, new frontier ecc.; per dirla con Guccini, "i due Giovanni e pace un po' alla buona"); dall'altra il fatto che questo "uomo di pace" fu pur sempre quello che ordinò l'invasione della Baia dei Porci. Forse la cosa più corretta da dire è che JFK altro non fu che un...presidente.... (Continues)

Zolle? Noi apriamo qualsiasi cosa. Tempesta? Scateniamo anche la calma, la bonaccia, la pacificità che dichiarano più vento, quando ci sta, quando ci va, di un ciclone tropicale. Noi folly, che sovvertiamo le vocali, che innalziamo persino beffardi canti agli dèi quando il buio della mente sembra inghiottire ogni cosa, quando l'oscuro si fa vincente.

Una canzone che ha assunto nel tempo un doppio significato: nata come omaggio ad Aung San Suu Kyi, la leader del movimento per il ritorno della democrazia nel Myanmar, nel 2001 è diventata una canzone simbolo della reazione del popolo statunitense agli attentati dell'11 settembre.

"The song was written about and dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi. It is written in the form of a supporting, uplifting anthem, praising her for her activism and fighting for freedom in Myanmar.

The Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp Songbook
Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp was a peace camp established to protest at nuclear weapon being sited at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. The camp began in September 1981 after a Welsh group called "Women for Life on Earth" arrived at Greenham to protest against the decision of the Government to allow cruise missiles to be based there.
On 1 April 1983, tens of thousands of protestors formed a 14 mile human chain from Greenham to the Aldermaston nuclear power station and the ordnance factory at Burghfield.
On 4 April 1984, the women were evicted from the Common by Newbury District Council. However by nightfall the women all returned to reform the camp.
The last missiles left the camp in 1991 but the camp remained in place until 2000 after protestors won the right to house a memorial on the site.

الهربة وين؟

[1983]
Arabic lyrics by Khaled
Urdu lyrics by Tabassum Siraj
(sung by Amar - Asian Underground)
Testo arabo di Khaled
Testo urdu di Tabassum Siraj
(cantato da Amar degli Asian Underground)
Agli inizi della sua carriera, Khaled, il "re del Rai" algerino famoso in tutto il mondo negli anni '80 e '90 per la canzone Aisha, diede voce alle frustrazioni della gioventù algerina. Siamo agli inizi della profonda crisi che prelude all'emergere dell'integralismo da una parte, e della chiusura della casta politico-militare al potere dall'altra. Il risultato è noto: la guerra civile, decine di migliaia di morti, a altrettante migliaia di emigrati. "Fuggire, ma dove?", si chiede Khaled in questa canzone una parte della quale, assai significativamente, fece tradurre in lingua urdu (la lingua ufficiale del Pakistan) per non voler limitare il problema all'Algeria; ed è una domanda che dovrebbe seriamente porsi la razzisteria di casa nostra, il giorno che si trovasse nelle stesse condizioni della gioventù algerina e di decine di altri paesi.

Gypsy punks: underdog world strike
Basically, it's an anti-war song- "that war/it never stops!" But it's more than that. He manages to dissect not only the roots of where war exists in our culture but also the helplessness of such understanding (nobody listens, nobody cares) while maintaining an advisory stature. Are we the only light there is? For ourselves we are. Hopeless? Not if you take care of your own.

![Baby I'm A Soldier](img/upl/51l4aDOmqNL._SS500.jpg)
The son of Egyptian immigrants, Kareem was born and raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma. He spent his childhood immersed in Western United States culture, attending Rodeos and Pow Wows, while simultaneously learning his family's roots in Islam and Arabic culture. With a degree in Chemical Engineering and recenlty finishing Law School, he's on the road promoting his new album, "Generous Peace".
His voice is robust, sexy, and All-American Country soundin'. I love him! His musical sound is open-chord guitar with a lot of grounded piano sound supporting it. His lyrics are not officially "muslim" or "nasheeds" (Islamic gospel songs), but the subject matter is definitely "Halal" (ie for you non-muslims reading this, Halal means religiously permissible, as in the subject matter is about living a good life, it's not about forbidden things and isn't leading the listener to sin - not about adultery, greed, alcohol, or other illicit/amoral activities).

Avvertenza. Come canzone integrante e basilare del Civil Rights Movement, We Shall Not Be Moved è stata inserita nel percorso "Razzismo e schiavitù negli Stati Uniti d'America". Il suo inserimento nell'altro percorso "Emigrazione e guerra del lavoro" è dovuto al suo uso come riconosciuta Labor song.
Notice.. As a song being a basic and integral part of the Civil Rights Movement, "We Shall Not Be Moved" has been included in the song itinerary "Racism and Slavery in the United States of America". Its inclusion in the other song itinerary "Emigration and Labor War" is due to its use as an acknowledged labor song. [AWS/CCG Staff]

Testo e musica di Naomi Shemer
"In our Garden" (Hebrew: אצלנו בחצר, Etzlenu Behatzer) is a famous Israeli song written and composed by Naomi Shemer.
The song is about caring for those who are different, knowing the different cultures and languages, learning about the other, and the longing for Peace.
The song tells about a fictional garden where kids from all over the world appear and play together. Each one says "hello" in his own language. In the Hebrew language, "Hello" also means "Peace". As the lyrics say "Everyone who comes to our home has his own way to greet another".
"Hello" is said in the following different languages: Hebrew, Italian, French, Arabic, English, Chinese, Greek, Portuguese, Swahili, Hawaiian and Japanese.

[2001]
Tragicomica storia d'amore del partigiano Cesare che commette delitto passionale perchè, proprio mentre è in missione, scopre che la sua bella lo tradisce ... e per di più con un fascista :-)
Lo scenario della vicenda - tratteggiato da Jannacci con pochi ed essenziali tocchi - è ad ogni modo precisamente quello della lotta partigiana, sicchè credo che anche questa surreale figura di "fidanzato deluso" rappresenti, a suo modo, una voce capace di unirsi al grande coro di CCG.
La canzone (composta da Enzo Jannacci e Paolo Jannacci) è stata incisa per la prima volta dal cantautore milanese nell'album "Come gli aeroplani" (2001, Ala Bianca):
La medesima incisione è stata da Jannacci inserita anche nel doppio CD antologico "The Best" (2006, Ala Bianca):
- testo tratto dal booklet del CD "Come gli aeroplani" (nelle parti parlate compaiono peraltro, nel disco, alcune modeste variazioni rispetto ad esso) -

Reconstructing the lyrics of a song formerly included only with few verses is important: such was the case of Il bonzo by the Italian folksinger (and heart surgeon) Enzo Jannacci. This was allowed us by mrs Alberta Beccaro from Venice, an expert of Enzo Jannacci and Sergio Endrigo, whom we thank heartily.

Lyrics by Jon Anderson and Trevor Rabin
Music by Yes
Testo di Jon Anderson e Trevor Rabin
Musica: Yes
Album: Big Generator
"Shoot High, Aim Low" is a song by Yes. It appears on the 1987 Big Generator album. The song appears to have never released as a single, but reached position #11 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the '80s. It appeared on every show on the Big Generator tour, but nowhere else to date.
The song, according to Jon Anderson's announcements prior to the song on many shows of the tour, the song is about war; specifically, a future in which mankind will live beyond war. In most of these announcements, Anderson explains that the "blue fields" mentioned in the first line are in Nicaragua - at the time the album was being worked on, a legal battle between the U.S. and Nicaragua had occurred over the U.S. aiding guerrillas against the Nicaraguan government.

Living Darfur
![Living Darfur](img/upl/livingdarfur.jpg)
[2007]
Lyrics and music by Mattafix
Testo e musica: Mattafix
I Mattafix hanno sin dai loro inzi manifestato un forte impegno sociale, in particolare a sostegno dei diritti umani in Darfur e in favore della cessazione delle ostilità. Sul sito ufficiale della band è possibile aderire alla campagna, sia facendo delle donazioni, sia inviando una lettera aperta alle Nazioni Unite.
"Living Darfur" (also known as "Living") is the first single from Mattafix's forthcoming album Rhythm and Hymns, released in 2007. The song already charted on the iTunes Store charts in several countries and is also released in the United States. The beginning of the song sounds similar to a part of Madonna's song "Mother and Father", taken from her 2004 release American Life.

The Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp Songbook
Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp was a peace camp established to protest at nuclear weapon being sited at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. The camp began in September 1981 after a Welsh group called "Women for Life on Earth" arrived at Greenham to protest against the decision of the Government to allow cruise missiles to be based there.
On 1 April 1983, tens of thousands of protestors formed a 14 mile human chain from Greenham to the Aldermaston nuclear power station and the ordnance factory at Burghfield.
On 4 April 1984, the women were evicted from the Common by Newbury District Council. However by nightfall the women all returned to reform the camp.
The last missiles left the camp in 1991 but the camp remained in place until 2000 after protestors won the right to house a memorial on the site.

Une chanson qui donne mon avis sur les tristes faits qui sont passés pendant quelques mois dans la ville de Paris et dans tout l'État français; et qui furent provoqués par les immmigrés qui ont fait une petite révolution contre le gouvernement à cause de leurs salaires trop petits. Mais ils ont utilisé une violence extrême et injustifiée pour réussir dans tout cela.

Une Chanson qui donne mon avis sur les désir du gouvernement américain de trouver des armes de déstruction massive. Et elle est dédiée à ces hommes méchants et pleins d'hipocrésie qui ont semé la peur à cause de son obssession maladive pour trouver des armes qui n'existent pas car ils sont qui ont toutes les armes; mais malgré tout cela, ils ont décidé de chercher d'autres coupables.

Anzi a mio avviso quest'album costituisce la pietra miliare vera - pur se non ancora baciata dal successo popolare e commerciale, che arriverà due anni dopo - del decennio jannacciano dei Sessanta, così come il sublime LP "Quelli che ...", nove anni più tardi (lui pure mai ristampato su CD), marchierà per sempre inmaniera indelebile il decennio jannacciano dei Settanta.

[1964]
Album: "La Milano di Enzo Jannacci"
Testo: Enzo Jannacci
Musica: Enzo Jannacci
"Sensa de ti": un altro degli umanissimi ritratti di soldato nei quali Jannacci è stato ed è maestro.
Tanto la quasi coeva "Soldato Nencini" suona a tratti grottesca e scanzonata, pur nella sostanziale drammaticità del suo argomento, quanto questa "Sensa de ti" (pur non dissimile nel tema) è dolente nel suo ripiegamento intimistico, sconsolato, disilluso.
Fu incisa da Jannacci - autore del testo e della musica - per la prima volta nel suo primissimo album, "La Milano di Enzo Jannacci" (Jolly, 1964; ristampato su etichetta Joker nel 1971).
Ripresa e ricantata - con il nuovo arrangiamento di Paolo Jannacci - di recente nell'album "Milano 3.6.2005":

Paroles et musique de Pierre Perret
Testo e musica di Pierre Perret
Album: La bête est revenue
Una canzone del 1998 molto poco gradita al Front National; quindi, per natura, assai gradita a questo sito. Una canzone che ha valso al suo autore una sequela impressionante di lettere e telefonate di minacce e di insulti. Una canzone, infine, non attuale solamente in Francia e nella situazione francese. Ovunque, in Europa, il fascismo e i fascismi hanno da tempo rialzato la cresta, e tutto va bene per fargliela abbassare. Anche una canzone può e deve essere un no pasarán.

La canzone-icona di Pierre Perret, il suo eterno "biglietto da visita" che lo ha reso noto anche al di fuori della Francia. Anche la prima canzone che, nella Francia del 1977, affrontava il problema del razzismo e dell'integrazione con parole chiare; e una canzone che non è mai passata di moda. Tanto da essere addirittura oggetto di una stupida parodia in chiave razzista.

Tanto da essere addirittura oggetto di una stupida parodia in chiave razzista.
Avec "Lily", Pierre Perret traite du problème d'intégration de ces travailleurs et du racisme que leur présence engendre. Son personnage, Lily, a quitté son pays, la Somalie, alors en guerre avec l'Ethiopie. Tout comme les boat-people vietnamiens, elle s'enfuit par la mer, sur un bateau surchargé. Lily découvre avec l'exclusion, liée à la couleur de sa peau, les sales boulots que l'on réserve aux immigrés.
On la trouvait plutôt jolie, Lily
