Set to music and performed by Diamanda Galás in her Songs of Exile, Todesfuge, the most celebrated poem by Paul Celan comes to be included in AWS. A tragic reflexion on extermination camps, and one among the most important site pages of recent times with translations in nearly 30 languages.
Riccardo Venturi 2011/11/1 - 16:53
29 October: 30 years since the death of Georges Brassens. 30 October: 100 years since the act of soldier Masetti. Remote in time and in their respective lives, but united in saying NO to militarism. We want to remember them together.

Interpretata da Henri Salvador nel suo disco del 1979 “Salvador/Boris Vian”
“Al ballo degli angeli, se cade la bomba, faremo festa sotto il cielo color arancio. Sulla terra non resterà nient’altro che croste di roccia fusa, qualche scheletro e un bambino perduto che porteremo con noi al ballo degli angeli…”

[1951?]
Interpretata da Henri Salvador.
Adattamento di “Sam’s Song”, un classico di Bing Crosby del 1950, che nella versione di Boris Vian diventa una canzone antimilitarista: “Se la gente canticchiasse e fischiettasse questa mia canzoncina l’allegria si diffonderebbe per il mondo intero e tutte le frontiere cadrebbero e non ci sarebbero più stupide guerre…”

Album “Olympia 71”
Parole di Michel Sardou e Yves Dessca
Musica di Jacques Revaux
Dans Le Rire du sergent, un jeune conscrit semble se moquer de son sergent homosexuel qui a obtenu ses galons en cédant aux avances du «capitaine des dragons». La chanson, antimilitariste à la base, a été perçue à l'époque comme homophobe. Ce que Sardou démentira en chanson, en interprétant Le Privilège, une chanson qui évoque les sentiments douloureux d'un jeune garçon qui peine à assumer son homosexualité.
Dans son autobiographie, Et qu'on n'en parle plus, parue 2009, Michel Sardou donne une autre vision de la chanson : […]au moment de déclarer ma profession, j'annonçai "artiste" et, comme partout, lorsqu'on est artiste et un artiste inconnu, on fait forcément un métier de pédé. […] Vous savez maintenant que le "Rire du sergent" n'était ni une attaque, ni une revanche. Le "pédé", c'était moi.

![Telefono Azzurro (051/222525)](img/art/t679571.jpg)
Se solo capissero che le colpe e i dispiaceri di un genitore non devono essere scaricati sui figli...ci sarebbe un mondo migliore, un mondo di bambini sani, adolescenti felice e uomini maturi...
Un brano commovente sulla denuncia di "persone" disumane contro creature fragili e indifesi.
Scritta nel 1989 e pensata come sostegno per l'associazione Telefono Azzurro, dedita alla tutela dei minori, "051/222525" - è il numero telefonico della stessa - esce inizialmente come 45 giri, ottenendo un gran successo e scalando le classifiche di vendita. In seguito, il brano entra a far parte di "Giannutri" (1990) - uno degli album più riusciti del nostro - tra la suggestiva "Speriamo che piova", le rockeggianti "Dancing Blu" ed "Entertainment", l'intensa "Senza far rumore". Di forte impegno sociale, "051/222525" descrive gli abusi compiuti sull'infanzia con la consueta grazia poetica, ma senza evitare... (Continues)

Ismael Serrano es un cantautor madrileño que utiliza su música como instrumento de denuncia. “La ciudad de los muertos”, “Al bando vencido”, “A las Madres de Mayo”, “Caperucita”, o “México insurgente” son algunos ejemplos de sus canciones que tratan sobre temas sociales y de crítica. El 2002 editó el álbum “La traición de Wendy”, del que destacamos “Si Peter Pan viniera”, una canción muy poética en qué denuncia la situación de muchos menores en cualquier parte del mundo.

Sacré Dollar
Chanson française – Sacré Dollar – Les Missiles – 1963
En 1963, un groupe pas dans le vent (ou peut être le sirocco) se propulse avec un titre contestataire. Les Missiles ce sont des jeunes pieds-noirs d'Oran (l'accent est facilement reconnaissable) qui lancent un morceau revendicatif contre l'économie internationale et le dollar en particulier. L'esprit de camaraderie est aussi vanté dans ce titre librement inspiré de "Green back dollar" du Kingston trio.
Sacré Dollar est une chanson qui a aussi comme thème le Dollar.

Tiens, Lucien l'âne mon ami, voici une chanson française qui parle du Dollar et pas nécessairement en bien.
Voyons ça, dit Lucien l'âne en souriant de son piano à mandibules. Mais as-tu bien ta tête à toi, Marco Valdo M.I., mon ami, pour avoir un instant imaginé qu'il puisse exister quelqu'un qui trouve de quoi parler en bien de cette sanie appelée Dollar. Le Dollar, c'est le pus de notre monde. Il coule dans ses veines, il l'empoisonne de jour en jour plus encore. Mais au fait, qu'en est-il de cette chanson ? Que dit-elle ?
D'abord, replaçons la dans son contexte. Elle a été écrite en 1932, c'est-à-dire juste au temps de la grande crise financière, tout-à-fait comparable à celle qu'on vit aujourd'hui.... (Continues)

(2011)
"I wrote the song for the Occupy movement. I landed in Philadelphia after 5-1/2 weeks on tour in Europe on September 16th and headed up to Brooklyn, where I had a gig that night. The next day was the first day of these ongoing protests on Wall Street and around the country and the world. In the course of a 7-week tour of the US and Canada I visited 18 Occupations.
This song has been well-received by Occupiers and their supporters, so I thought I'd spend a day at Big Red Studio when I got home to Portland, and I did -- with a stellar cast of musicians: Jarrod Kaplan on percussion, Arcellus Sykes on bass guitar, with Billy Oskay producing and engineering and Jim Cuda assisting.
As with any of my songs, you're welcome to play it, use it in videos, sing it, etc. If you want to sing it, it's easy - 3 chords: D, A and G!

Lyrics and music by Diamanda Galás
Album: Defixiones Will and Testament
Defixiones refers to the warnings engraved in lead which were placed on the graves of the dead in Greece and Asia Minor. They cautioned against moving or desecrating the corpses under threat of extreme harm.
Will and Testament refers to the last wishes of the dead who have been taken to their graves under unnatural circumstances.
The concert material that Galás has included in this song cycle includes music set to the texts of the Armenian poet/soldier Siamanto; the Belgian/French poet Henri Michaux; the Syrian/Lebanese poet Adonis; the rembetika songs of Sotiria Bellou; the Anatolian Greek Amanedhes; the blues music of the American musicians Boise Sturdevant and Blind Lemon Jefferson, and the sacred songs of the Deep South.

Scritti con Pablo
versione trascritta dal video
Scritti con Pablo
Impossibile restare indifferenti di fronte a una canzone, sulle troppe morti accidentali dentro i commissariati, che parafrasando una frase di Savage Landor, comincia subito con questo formidabile paradosso. Narrando di Aldo Bianzino, entrato in ottima salute nel carcere di Capanne (PG) ed uscito morto tre giorni piu’ tardi, la canzone riguarda i vari Cucchi, e Aldrovandi, e quant’altri, anarchici o immigrati, siano morti in circostanze oscure, quando la passione di alcune guardie per la fisicità degenera in metastasi.
Brano importante, marcato, con la tromba lirica che ricama sul cantato e segna il refrain.

Storia di Rodolfo Foscati [Storia del 107]
![Storia di Rodolfo Foscati [Storia del 107]](img/thumb/c5747_130x140.jpeg?1328384704)
Chanson italienne (Toscan Florentin) - Storia di Rodolfo Foscati [Storia del 107] – Caterina Bueno
La « Storia di Rodolfo Foscati » ( traduite en français sous le titre de « CENT-SEPT ») est ancienne et terrible chanson de prison de la tradition toscane.
Cette chanson a une origine obscure. Il y a un Rodolfo Foscati, patriote milanais, emprisonné durant les mouvements carbonari de 1821. Il y en a un autre de San Frediano, à Florence, protagoniste d'un événement sanglant et condamné à perpétuité. Peut-être ces deux figures se superposent, peut-être non ; la chanson est sûrement toscane et présente de manière crue les premiers et terribles jours de l'internement à vie...
Cette chanson est née à Florence dans le quartier de S. Frediano, est connue dans toute la Toscane comme « L'histoire du Cent-sept ». On dit qu'elle a été composée par le protagoniste lui-même : Rodolfo Foscati.
