Dialogue Maïeutique

Par le grand Onos, dit Lucien l’âne, une suffragette.

Oui, dit Marco Valdo M.I., une suffragette. Ce n’est pas tous les jours qu’il y a une chanson pour vanter les mérites d’une suffragette.

Pourtant, dit Lucien l’âne, souvent, elles les méritent ces mérites.

Surtout, continue Marco Valdo M.I., quand ce sont des suffragettes émérites comme Sylvia Liberty, une fille carrément célèbre qu’on célèbre ici dans cette chanson. Comme on le sait, une suffragette est une femme, une demoiselle, une dame qui, en sus de sa vie ordinaire, se consacre à la revendication de droits... (continuer)

Chris Taylor voice-over

I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy; we fought ourselves. And the enemy was in us. The war is over for me now, but it will always be there, the rest of my days, as I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called possession of my soul. There are times since, I've felt like the child born of those two fathers. But, be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life.

The War in Afghanistan followed the United States invasion of Afghanistan of 7 October 2001, when the United States of America and its allies successfully drove the Taliban from power in order to deny al-Qaeda a safe base of operations in Afghanistan.

The war in Afghanistan continues destroying lives, due to the direct consequences of violence and the war-induced breakdown of public health, security, and infrastructure. Civilians have been killed by crossfire, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), assassinations, bombings, and night raids into houses of suspected insurgents. Even in the absence of fighting, unexploded ordinance from previous wars and United States cluster bombs continue to kill.

Hospitals in Afghanistan are treating large numbers of war wounded, including amputees and burn victims. The war... (continuer)

feat. Anders Sunna
Album: Orda - This Is My Land

WE ARE STILL HERE! Collab with singer Sofia Jannok and artist Anders Sunna, both residing in Sápmi, resisting the ongoing colonization, persisting to remain.
"Swedish State calls us "Lapps", questions us as a people, claiming: You have not been here historically, you have no rights.
We say: We are still here. We have every right to be. We ARE Sápmi!"


Intro (Excerpts from the State Attorney’s intervention during the hearing in the court case between the Sámi reindeer herding community Girjas - from whence Sofia Jannok’s grandmother came - and the Swedish State. Gällivare Lapland District Court, June, 2015.):

“From the onset on, it is of importance to state that:
The Sámi have not been subjected to discrimination by the State.”
”The question then is what is meant by the concept of ethnicity, if it is to be claimed that the... (continuer)

Lyrics & music by Lee Shapiro

In 2020 (Part 2) is about the year of a CoronaVirus pandemic, systemic police racism, the BLM movement, riots, face masks, politics, and, of course, Trump making everything worse..

“When I wrote "In 2020 (Part 1)", back in February, it was basically a personal story about my medical issues and my continued anger and frustration of Trump. When it was written and posted online, none of the major issues that were facing this year had even begun. No pandemic, no riots, no protesting, no confederate flag protests, no Wall Street crashes, no face masks, no self-quarantining and no Trump making all of this much worse. So I had to write a second part of this song, to include everything that happened since I wrote the first part. The music is similar (with a faster tempo and some changes), but different enough to make it an entirely new song”.

Album: New Multitudes [2012]


“Don’t let any earthy calamity knock your dreamer and your hoping machine …”

New Multitudes is a Woody Guthrie tribute album performed by Jay Farrar, Will Johnson, Anders Parker, and Jim James to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Guthrie's birth, released through Rounder Records on February 28, 2012. The project was initiated by Woody's daughter Nora Guthrie to have Farrar add music to her father's lyrics – specifically, his earliest songwriting years in Los Angeles. Over the course of several years, he invited the others to collaborate and recorded at a variety of locations across the United States. Each artist wrote music to lyrics that inspired him and presented it to the collaborators for recording. The result is an album with diverse musical genres that has garnered positive reviews from critics... (continuer)

La Colonna Sonora è tra le prime musiche di Ennio Morricone, composta dopo le colonne sonore dei primi film di Sergio Leone. Non sono tra le più note o le più eseguite, probabilmente perché indissolubilmente legate ad un film che non concede evasioni di nessun tipo.
Il brano che proponiamo si chiama Rue de Thèbes : era il nome della strada, nella Casbah di Algeri, teatro del massacro del 10 agosto 1956. Il nome era stato dato dai Francesi dopo la colonizzazione iniziata nel 1830.... (continuer)

Surtout, continue Marco Valdo M.I., quand ce sont des syndicalistes émérites comme William Stickers, un gars presque célèbre qu’on célèbre ici dans cette chanson ; une chanson qui fait en quelque sorte l’histoire des deux derniers siècles et du début de celui-ci, vus au travers du prisme particulier...
