Everybody Knows Somebody

Everybody Knows Somebody
released August 15, 2019

This song was written in response to the insanity going on in our country. gun violence and the deaths of ordinary people all over America is becoming NORMAL.

IT ISN'T NORMAL.

let's call it what it is: a public health crisis. too many senseless deaths. too much pointless tragedy that could be avoided with better, safer, smarter gun laws.

Il valzer di Nino e Giovanna

Il valzer di Nino e Giovanna
2017

Un valzer per Nino Malara e Giovanna Gairo; lui giovane comunista anarchico di Reggio Calabria; lei sarta e stilista formatasi nel laboratorio Versace di Reggio Calabria. Per la lotta antifascista Nino, sposo novello, viene arrestato e condannato al confino a Favignana e poi a Lipari. Giovanna, per amore, rinuncia alla libertà e lo segue al confino per cinque anni. Lì nasce la prima figlia, Idenia, e tornati in Calabria, continuano la loro lotta antifascista. Non prendono la tessera del fascio. Nino non trova lavoro. Il negozio di moda diventa fonte di sostentamento. Nasce a Cosenza il secondo figlio, Empio. Nino viene arrestato in ogni occasione dalla polizia, quando si immagina che possa contrastare il fascismo. Ai figli nascondono la verità e raccontano che il padre è dovuto partire per lavoro. Giovanna è forte, tenace, laboriosa, brava. Ha gusto e abilità nelle mani. Lui disegna... (Continues)

A Nation Once Again

A Nation Once Again

"A Nation Once Again" is a song, written in the early to mid-1840s by Thomas Osborne Davis (1814–1845). Davis was a founder of Young Ireland, an Irish movement whose aim was the independence of Ireland.

Davis believed that songs could have a strong emotional impact on people. He wrote that "a song is worth a thousand harangues". He felt that music could have a particularly strong influence on Irish people at that time. He wrote: "Music is the first faculty of the Irish... we will endeavour to teach the people to sing the songs of their country that they may keep alive in their minds the love of the fatherland."

"A Nation Once Again" was first published in The Nation on 13 July 1844 and quickly became a rallying call for the growing Irish nationalist movement at that time.

The song is a prime example of the "Irish rebel music" subgenre. The song's narrator dreams of a time when Ireland... (Continues)

Balkan Route

Mentre scrivo è in atto una catastrofe umanitaria. Circa 1000 migranti in Bosnia sono intrappolati da giorni nelle morse della fame e del freddo. Il rappresentante in Bosnia delle Nazioni Unite per i Migranti, Peter Van der Auweraert, scrive che i migranti non possono lasciare il campo e ora devono dare fuoco alle tende rimanenti per riscaldarsi […] questa è una tragedia del tutto inutile.
La minima è di 3°C, la massima 6, in progressivo peggioramento. Il video seguente e il successivo slideshow della Reuters danno un’idea:

Black America Again

Black America Again
(2016)
Album: Black America Again
Featuring Stevie Wonder
Bass: Esperanza Spalding
Backing Vocals: Chuck D & MC Lyte

“Black America Again” combines powerful, socially conscious lyrics with a jazz-infused instrumental. It is also the title track appearing on Common’s forthcoming album by the same name.

The song’s music video opens with video footage of Alton Sterling’s murder by two white officers of the Baton Rouge Police Department. Following this video clip, Common rhymes about police brutality and discrimination towards black Americans in general. Stevie Wonder’s repeated vocals in the song’s outro solidifies “Black America Again” as a call to action for the fair and equal treatment of black Americans.

A Song for Assata

A Song for Assata
(2000)

Canzone dedicata a Assata Shakur, attivista afroamericana che ha aderito alle Black Panthers. Arrestata per diverse accuse, è evasa nel 1979 grazie a un'azione armata di membri del Black Liberation Army. Le guardie carcerarie furono prese in ostaggio ma liberate poco dopo e nessuno fu ucciso durante l'evasione. Silvia Baraldini è stata accusata di fare parte del commando che ha portato all'evasione.

Nel 1984 Assata Shakur è fuggita a Cuba, paese che le ha concesso asilo politico, e dove vive tuttora.

Testo e musica / Lyrics and music / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel
Giovanni Di Donato

Album: A.C.C.L.

A.C.C.L. sta per “Animo Campano Cuore Lucano”.
Giovanni Di Donato restituisce Vita alla Morte con la sua capacità poetico letteraria che si accompagna ad uno stile in cui prevalgono quegli accenti romantici e crepuscolari che costituiscono la precipuità della Sua poesia [ Luigi Ruggeri, Editore Ma.Gi ]

È una ninnananna ben diversa, di quelle che si cantano senza un bimbo che possa ascoltarla. Composta per cercare di consolare un adulto, ma non ci sono canti né parole che riescano ad alleviare l’angoscia di una solitudine senza soluzione.

Ballade vom gut Kirschenessen

Ballade vom gut Kirschenessen
Chanson allemande – Ballade vom gut Kirschenessen – Wolf Biermann – 1989-90

Le Mur était tombé depuis peu et en février 1990, lors d’un concert à Altona, Hambourg (la ville du martyr antifasciste Bruno Tesch et des nombreux autres qui ont été tués par les nazis durant l’été 1932), Wolf Biermann chanta, entre autres, cette belle ballade dédiée à un de ses amis, également martyr du totalitarisme : Robert Havemann.
Robert Havemann (1910-1982) était chimiste. À l’avènement du nazisme, il était déjà chercheur universitaire à l’Institut Kaiser Wilhelm. Pas de chance, Robert Havemann était communiste, et pas seulement cela ; il devint rapidement un membre actif de la Widerstand, la résistance allemande. Arrêté par la Gestapo en 1943, il fut condamné à mort, mais l’exécution de la sentence fut continuellement reportée, grâce à l’intercession de certains de ses anciens collègues qui firent croire...

On his SoundCloud page, Lupe added the hashtag #HowardZinn, paying tribute to one of the most notable social activists of the 20th century. Zinn’s best known for writing A People’s History of the United States. He passed away in 2010, but his ideas still live strong in the hearts and minds of people he continues to inspire through his work.

As he says in a 2005 interview with The G Living Network, he answered the question of whether we can ever have a “just war”:

[…] The technology of warfare has reached a point where war is always the indiscriminate killing of huge numbers of people. And wars, at one time, were fought by armies; soldiers killed soldiers. Now, and we heard tonight Dr. Gino Strada […] tell us that the victims that he takes care of in the hospitals [..] are 90% civilians, 30% of them children. In a situation like this, war cannot be accepted... (Continues)
