A guerra é a guerra

A guerra é a guerra
[1982]
Letras e música de Fausto Bordalo Gomes
Álbum: Por este rio acima (Disco 1)

"Por Este Rio Acima" é o sexto álbum de Fausto, editado em 1982. É o primeiro disco da trilogia inacabada "Lusitana Diáspora", que inclui ainda o álbum Crónicas da Terra Ardente (1994). Baseia-se nas viagens de Fernão Mendes Pinto (1512-1583) aventureiro e explorador português, relatadas na sua Peregrinação.
Diário da viagem, Fernão Mendes Pinto:
"De Diu embarquei para o estreito de Meca, daqui fomos a Maçuá e daí, por terra, ao Reino do Preste João. Passei ao Reino dos Batas e de fugida pelo Reino de Quedá como adiante darei parte. Em Patane conheci António de Faria, capitão a quem servi na venda da mercadoria. Fomos atacados e roubados pelo perro do Coja Acém, temido pirata depois que Heitor da Silveira lhe matara seu pai e dois irmãos. Por isso, Coja Acém havia prometido a Mafamede matar todos da geração... (continuer)

Stop the War

Stop the War
SUGAR BLUE (interview) on Stop he War:
"I think the only thing we achieve... through war.. is death!
War destroys hope. War destroys everything that we value, everything that we built. And it takes that thing that none of us can give - life!
And there has got to be another way. It's insane to continue doing the
same things and expecting a better result!"

“Stop the War,” a funky blues that deftly mixes snippets of famous speeches and news reports with its plea... HYPERBOLIUM

"...his vocal and songwriting styles recall the soul and funk protest anthems of War or Sly & the Family Stone. He writes from experience, having served in Vietnam between 1970 and 1973." - CHICAGO MAGAZINE

L'estaca

L'estaca
OCCITANO 3 [ Patric, 1972 ]
OCCITAN 3 [ Patric, 1972 ]

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. (Le provençal est une langue romane de la famille des langues d'oc...)

La Mouche au bras – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2010
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 97

La Mouche au bras est la nonante-septième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.

La mouche au bras, la mouche au bras... Quel titre encore une fois ! , dit Lucien l'âne en se grattant le museau sur le tronc d'un saule têtard. La mouche au bras, qu'est-ce que çà veut dire, cette fois ? Où as-tu pêché un titre pareil ?

Ne t'énerve pas, mon ami Lucien l'âne impatient. Je m'en vais t'expliquer tout cela et pas plus tard que maintenant. Tu connais l'origine de ces canzones, la carrière où je m'en vais tirer les pierres brutes de cette construction:la traduction que j'ai faite du Quaderno a cancelli; c'est une sorte de roman, mais un roman paradoxal, où tout ce qui est écrit, dit, se passe à l'intérieur des pensées d'un homme : le peintre-écrivain...

Ancora per Corrado.

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!

One World

One World
[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.”

"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'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
"[...] 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... (continuer)

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.... (continuer)

Which Side Are You On?

Which Side Are You On?
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...

They say "free the land," as it captures a key concept in their struggle: land and sovereignty for blacks within the U.S. But we see this phrase as significant for all people who have worked and struggled in, and been oppressed by, this country. The land must be freed so that those who live and work on it will live in freedom. We will win! In the name of Malcolm, free the land…”

“The tactic of dividing the people in order to conquer them is a tactic which capitalism has used in this country very effectively. It has not only kept different races apart, it has kept sexes, religions, ages, occupations, just about everything divided. People have been taught we must compete against one another, and that we threaten each others interests. It has even affected us personally in feelings of alienation from each other and ourselves, so that we are isolated and alone. We are not alone - our interests are the same as all people fighting against the common oppressor. Our struggle for unity is a critical struggle, and it is vital for victory.”

Our purpose in writing “imperialism" was two-fold; One, to help break down the "mystique" of words like imperialism which the governments propaganda has injected into the minds of the people -- to equate imperialism with everyday concepts so people feel more at ease with hearing it and talking about it; two, to help us break down our own dependence on rhetoric so that we may better be able to communicate with those we are trying to serve.
