Stop the War in Vietnam

Stop the War in Vietnam
1969

Reco and Laurel Aitken

dall'album Scandal In A Brixton Market - Girlie And Laurel Aitken

Laurel Aitken, born in Cuba in 1927, moved to Brixton, London in 1960. He released the ska / reggae track "Stop the War in Vietnam" - obviously a protest song from the title, which is repeated over and over, on the obscure and hard to find album Scandal in a Brixton Market (Economy # ECO-8).

Army Man in Vietnam

Army Man in Vietnam
(1969)
Testo incompleto
dall'album Thinking Of What They Did To Me

Big Joe Williams (1903-1982), delta blues guitar player, born Joseph Lee Williams, in Crawford Mississippi, used a nine-string acoustic guitar, giving his delta style an interesting, unique sound. In the track "Army Man in Vietnam" (Arhoolie Records # 1053) he expressed a desire to "stop the war in Vietnam" because he feared that the government might "drop that atom bomb", a reflection of Cold War tensions. The song also showed concern for young men, at the age of eighteen, drafted into the army and given a gun. Note the minor reference to Christmas: "some will be home for Christmas, some will hurt real bad". Chris Strachwitz (founder of Arhoolie) recorded the song on 14 December 1969 at Arhoolie House in Berkeley, California. It featured Charlie Musselwhite on harmonica.

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... (Continues)

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.

Afghanistan
[2003]
Songwriters: Ebben/Birchmeier/Linsmeier
Album: Kill The White Man Dead

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... (Continues)

We Are Still Here
2016
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:

In 2020 (Part 2)

In 2020 (Part 2)
[2020]
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”.
So here it is the second part

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... (Continues)

Americano
(2011)
dall'album Born This Way

Lady Gaga in un'intervista ha definito Americano "un grandioso pezzo mariachi techno-house, dove canto di leggi sull'immigrazione e matrimonio gay e ogni genere di cose che hanno a a che fare con le comunità emarginate negli Stati Uniti."

A proposito dell'interpretazione vocale aggiunge: "è un pezzo pop, ma quando lo canto vedo Edith Piaf sotto i riflettori davanti a un vecchio microfono".

Con il pretesto di una storia di amore tra una donna statunitense e una di origine messicana, la canzone allude al California Proposition 8, il referendum tenutosi in California il 4 novembre 2008 in cui si chiedeva l'abolizione del diritto al matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso. Nonostante il referendum sia stato approvato (nella "progressista" California) dal 52% dei votanti, successivamente un tribunale ha dichiarato la proposta incostituzionale, legalizzando...

Make Love
Album: Look For The Good (2020)

A prima vista sembrava che Mraz, cantore di good vibrations californiano la cui I’m yours era stata un bel contagio musicale del 2008, avesse sbagliato l’anno per fare il brillante con Look for the good, nuovo album reggae light, quasi ostinatamente pieno di ottimismo: si può veramente dire ancora “fai l’amore e non la guerra”? Ma dopo Minneapolis, le proteste, la repressione, Trump a Tulsa il dubbio sorge. Forse Mraz ci ha azzeccato: c’è bisogno di qualcuno capace di ballare in levare e cantarci su una storia positiva. E “make love not war” suona bene.

Poesia / A Poem by / Poème / Runo :
Martha Medeiros

Musica / Music / Musique / Sävel:
Ludovico Einaudi

Album:Le onde [1996]

La poesia è stata a lungo attribuita a Pablo Neruda. In realtà è della giornalista brasiliana e scrittrice Martha Medeiros.
Martha Medeiros e Ludovico Einaudi parlano alle corde dell’emozione prima che al pensiero, l’una con immagini nude, quotidiane e perciò di una potenza dirompente, l’altro facendo vibrare le corde del pianoforte in sintonia con le immagini e i chiaroscuri dell’animo dell’ascoltatore. Non invadono, non insistono.
Una sollecitazione la si può percepire forte e chiara: chi vuole allontanare gli spettri della guerra non può prescindere da questi messaggi che nella loro semplicità raggiungono gli anfratti dell’Io.

“Dove tia o vento”, brano finalista alle Targhe Tenco 2020 come miglior canzone e che Gambetta dedica alla sua Genova. Senza abbandonarsi mai alla retorica, il chitarrista genovese ci parla della sua città, facendone emergere la bellezza e il fascino ma anche raccontandola attraverso le sue contraddizioni che ne hanno caratterizzato la storia: dalle grandi emigrazioni all’avvento del fascismo, dalle alluvioni al crollo del Ponte Morandi.

La canzone Zabruje Tako Pjesme Znane e la ex-Jugoslavia

E’ uno dei canti dei partigiani jugoslavi di Tito. Trent’anni dopo la dissoluzione della SFR Jugoslavija sembra che sia svanito nel nulla. Lo avevamo ascoltato negli anni ’80 vicino a Belgrado, lo abbiamo ritrovato. Analizzandolo ci rendiamo conto che chi l’ha composto doveva aver fatto delle buone letture, la vena è poetica. Non ci sono concessioni alla retorica e al trionfalismo, c’è la consapevolezza di donare la propria esistenza per affermare libertà, dignità e diritti nella migliore tradizione partigiana.
Non c’è stato verso purtroppo, nonostante ricerche piuttosto minuziose, di appurare qualcosa sull’autore e sull’anno della composizione.

“Com’è possibile” è un brano che mette l’umanità sul banco degli imputati, citando Bob Dylan “La risposta è lassù / e soffia nell’aria / Quante strade dovrà / di nuovo percorrere / un uomo?”.

Con la regia di Lorenzo Letizia, il video si avvale di immagini di sommosse e catastrofi naturali, per delineare “la bestia” che abita l’uomo, chiudendosi con un riferimento alle recenti proteste in nome di George Floyd (“I Can’t Breathe”) che diventa paradigmatico di una convivenza sempre più complicata dell’uomo con il pianeta terra.

Album: Made To Break / Four Hours

« But.. these are human beings, unarmed civilians, sir! » The last famous words before the massacre.

Hugh Thompson shortly before the My Lai Massacre. He had turned to sergeant David Mitchell, who replied that the only way to help them was to put them out of their misery…then to second lieutenant William Calley, 1st Platoon Company C commander ..

Thompson: What's going on here, lieutenant?

Calley: This is my business.

Thompson: What is this? Who are these people?
