With Le roi d'Yvetot, an anti-Napoleonic song written 1813 by Pierre-Jean de Béranger, CCG/AWS goes back to the roots of the modern protest song, arisen in a time when the wars were bleeding France and the whole Europe.

Sung by Barbara Dane with active-duty GIs.
Recorded at Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Benning, Georgia and Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Edited by Irwin Silber.
Come spiega qui la stessa Barbara Dane, si tratta di una versione che raccoglie insieme strofe usate come slogan nel corso di diverse manifestazioni di protesta in diverse parti del mondo… Il riferimento ad Henry Ford fa pensare alle proteste americane contro il complesso militare-industriale durante la guerra in Vienam; “Polaris” era il nome di un missile balistico nucleare americano usato a partire dagli anni 60 dalla U.S Navy, successivamente anche dalla Royal Navy britannica… qualcuno arrivò pure da noi per essere montato sulla fregata Giuseppe Garibaldi, ma la cosa non ebbe seguito (anche se qualcuno di quei Polaris ancora se ne sta nell’Arsenale a La Spezia..); la strofa in italiano rimanda alle nostrane proteste ben descritte in Le...

Words and music by Bill Frederick, student in chemistry and draft resister at the time of the Vietnam War.
Album “F.T.A.! Songs et the GI Resistance”, Paredon Records
Sung by Barbara Dane with active-duty GIs.
Recorded at Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Benning, Georgia and Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Edited by Irwin Silber.
“The writer of this song is a draft resister, an advanced student in chemistry, and one of the first songwriters to express a genuine sensitivity to the situation of the Vietnamese in the late '60s. Most of us have had so much conditioning the other way that when I sing this song people are very conflicted about how to respond.

Giovanna d'Arco
![Giovanna d'Arco](img/upl/DEL.jpg)
1994
Domenica e lunedì
Il testo di Paola Pallottino raccoglie molti degli elementi caratterizzanti la vicenda umana di Giovanna d'Arco, dalle visioni alle "voci", dalla scelta di armarsi alla consapevolezza di avere una missione da compiere. Una missione che costerà la vita alla contadina lorenese, al termine di un processo in cui i massimi teologi del tempo furono mobilitati per dichiararla eretica.
La fama di Giovanna vergine combattente, già alta durante la sua vita, fu tutt'altro che offuscata dalla fine riservatale, con la quale la supremazia inglese intendeva scoraggiare ogni dissenso: eroina popolare, appena l'influenza inglese sulla Francia iniziò a scemare fu riabilitata da un successivo processo (1456) e poi, al termine di una vicenda in cui il piano religioso si è intrecciato spesso a quello delle istanze e delle rivendicazioni nazionaliste (gli intenti antiinglesi con cui il...

Words by Barbara Dane
Based on Aunt Molly Jackson' "I Am a Union Woman" (1931)

Sung by Barbara Dane with active-duty GIs.
Recorded at Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Benning, Georgia and Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Edited by Irwin Silber.
“Back in the early '30s a great singing organizer in the bloody mine battles was Aunt Molly Jackson. She was the sister of two other great people's singers and fighters, Jim Garland and Sarah Ogan Gunning. The whole family was blacklisted from work because of their union activities, and they finally had to move away from Harlan County just to live.

Songs sung by John Greenway
Album “The Songs and Stories of Aunt Molly Jackson”, Folkways Records, 1961.
“This is a song I composed in 19 and l0 at a mining company in Bell County, Kentucky, when I was trying to get the miners to come out in strike for eight hours and better pay, and for decent homes to live in. I would sing this song and then I would make a long speech, and this way I organized that group of miners while they was in my reach. Colman was the name of the coal operator. He was working over 400 men in this way in 19 and l0. This song will tell you the awful condition the miners was in”

Lyrics and music by Aunt Molly Jackson and his brother Jim Garland.
Songs sung by John Greenway
Harry Simms, nato Hersh, era un giovane ebreo appartenente alla Young Communist League, attivista sindacale e buon amico del fratello di Aunt Molly Jackson, Jim Garland, anch’egli impegnato nel sindacato dei minatori del Kentucky.
Aveva solo 19 anni, Harry Simms, quando la United Mine Workers lo inviò nelle contee di Bell ed Harlan (chiamata ormai “Bloody Harlan”) dove più cruento era il confronto tra i minatori, in lotta per il miglioramento delle condizioni di lavoro, e le compagnie, che usavano polizia, squadracce e crumiri per intimidire i minatori e piegarne la determinazione.

“Folksinger and Kentucky mountain midwife Aunt Molly Jackson caught the attention of Alan Lomax and Woody Guthrie with her stories and songs about the struggles of working-class life. Here presented by John Greenway, her work reflects genuine care for humanity and her furious fight against social injustice.” (Dall’introduzione al disco)
"I composed this song one day while I was walking along thinking of how soon a coal miner is forgotten after he is dead. The day I composed this song I never will forget; it was about three weeks after my own dear brother was killed. I found my brother‘s three oldest children out on the street.

Pubblicata in vinile nel 1972 (Ventadorn EP IEOS 4.13) in un EP contenente L'estaca, Per Euzkadi, Fai ta mala e Ai causit de cantar. In ordine di tempo, si tratta della prima versione in assoluto de L'estaca in una lingua diversa dal catalano. [RV]
Da/d'après Open Folk Forum.
Patric est originaire de Mèze, dans l'Hérault, c'est donc l'orthographe et la prononciation de l'occitan tel qu'il est parlé dans la région de Montpellier qui est utilisé ici. Il est le créateur de la célèbre chanson "Occitània" et il a repris (entre autres) le "Se Canta", hymne occitan et la "Copa Santa" de Frédéric Mistral, mais en occitan, pas en provençal.

Anch'io rivisito il sito solo ora, e scrivo per confermare che ricordo vagamente la parola postino nella strofa dimenticata...ma son passati più di trent'anni!
Comunque, per restare sulle canzoni d'autore di grande suggestione, per musica e parole, segnalo "C'è tempo" di Ivano Fossati e "Le rose blu" di Vecchioni, quest'ultima scritta per il figlio in un momento difficile, forse in pericolo di vita. Provo a fornire due link su YouTube, avvertendo che, coi nostri ritmi di accesso al sito, questi link potrebbero non essere più attivi al momento della prossima visita.

Anch'io rivisito il sito solo ora, e scrivo per confermare che ricordo vagamente la parola postino nella strofa dimenticata...ma son passati più di trent'anni!
Comunque, per restare sulle canzoni d'autore di grande suggestione, per musica e parole, segnalo "C'è tempo" di Ivano Fossati e "Le rose blu" di Vecchioni, quest'ultima scritta per il figlio in un momento difficile, forse in pericolo di vita. Provo a fornire due link su YouTube, avvertendo che, coi nostri ritmi di accesso al sito, questi link potrebbero non essere più attivi al momento della prossima visita. Eccoli comunque, e buon ascolto!

[1956]
Album “Man of the Whole Wide World”, Folkways Records
“An ideal is something to dream about, until it becomes a practical necessity for survival. Then it
calls, not for dreamers, but for planners. In this age of shrinking distances and long-range missiles,
even hard-headed ultra-nationalists must be beginning to realize that the choice is boiling down to co-existence or no-existence. Projected logically, then, it would seem that this could lead to a world
federation of states -- or, in the simpler term, one world.”

Album “Man of the Whole Wide World”, Folkways Records
"The sharply altered mood and the minor key variation l’m sure, won't keep you from detecting the ghost of Mademoiselle from Armentières, the lusty World War One marching song. . . and I won't pretend that the resemblence is an accident. Perhaps, these songs had their place, once… perhaps they still bring beery-nosta1gia to some… but I submit that they, like the wars that spawned them, have had their day, and that anyone who believes otherwise is living in the hopped-up past of the pre-Hiroshima era."

“I wrote this one some four years back, but unlike some of my earlier songs, if you were to ask me today to sit down and write about the things I believe in, I don't think the words would come out any different. I've sung it to a lot of people in a lot of places, and the way they respond seems to me to mean that most people are agreed on the fundamentals that would go to make a decent world -- not the least of which is peace.”

Tabratt i lhukem
![Tabratt i lhukem](img/thumb/c9194_130x140.jpeg?1330187344)
"[...] Il 25 settembre 1994, pochi giorni dopo l’inizio dello sciopero scolastico per l’introduzione del berbero nelle scuole, [Lounès Matoub] viene rapito da un commando di integralisti islamici. La cosa provoca una tale reazione compatta da parte di tutta la popolazione della Cabilia che i terroristi devono rilasciarlo dopo 15 giorni, il 10 ottobre. È la prima e unica volta che i terroristi islamici devono fare marcia indietro.
Ma la sua sorte è segnata. Condannato a morte dai terroristi per la sua aperta professione di laicismo, sceglie di restare nel suo paese e di non riparare all’estero dove sarebbe stato più protetto, e viene assassinato da un commando mascherato il 25 giugno 1998 a Oued Aissi, vicino al suo paese natale. Mancavano pochi giorni all’uscita del suo ultimo album, “Tabratt i lhukem” (“Lettera aperta”), un vero e proprio “testamento spirituale” in cui Matoub denuncia apertamente... (Continues)

Per me è uno dei più bei ricordi d'infanzia.
Un mondo bello che ormai non c'è più.
Un grazie alla mia Mamma che me l'ha sempre cantata.
Mi ha commosso rileggerla.

Matin cholérique
Matin cholérique – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2010
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 96
Matin cholérique est la nonante-sixième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.
Encore une fois, mon ami Marco Valdo M.I., je trouve le titre de la canzone bien étrange. Mais il doit bien avoir à voir avec son contenu. Laisse-moi deviner... Comme il s'agit d'une canzone léviane, qu'elle fait partie du cycle du Cahier ligné, dès lors, il s'agit d'un moment de la méditation de notre ami le prisonnier-blessé. Ce moment est clairement dit : c'est le matin. Où je comprends moins bien, c'est cet adjectif qui s'y accole : cholérique. Il ne s'agit évidemment pas de la colère, mais du choléra, cette maladie souvent mortelle et en tous cas, porteuse de fièvres terribles.
Eh bien, Lucien l'âne mon ami, c'est exactement çà. Ton raisonnement est parfait.... (Continues)

Which Side Are You On?
![Which Side Are You On?](img/thumb/c9055_130x140.jpeg?1328380364)
Apprendo dalle note che accompagnano il disco "Talking Union and Other Union Songs", con Pete Seeger, The Almanac Singers e The Song Swappers (Folkways Records, 1955) che la seguente strofa di questa canzone:
"My daddy was a miner,
And I'm a miner's son,
And I'll stick with the union
'Til every battle's won."
è da attribuirsi ad una modifica ad opera degli Almanac Singers.
La strofa originaria della Reece era la seguente:
"My daddy was a miner;
he's now in the air and sun
He'll be with you, fellow workers,
until this battle's won."
dove "in the air and sun" significa che il minatore non era in galleria ma disoccupato perchè "blacklisted" dai padroni a causa del suo attivismo sindacale...

Album “Songs of F.L.N. - Freedom Fighters of Algeria” (sung in arabic), Folkways Records.
Canzone satirica contro la Francia ed il suo presidente-generale, la cui linea di condotta rispetto alla questione algerina fu incomprensibile, fra strizzate d’occhio ai pied-noirs, negoziati segreti per una transizione pacifica verso l’indipendenza e feroci repressioni, salvo poi doversi arrendere all’evidenza della storia…
