Grace

1985
The song was written by brothers Frank & Sean O'Meara
Jim McCann, who often played with The Dubliners had the most success with it, but it was also sang by The Wolfe Tones, John McDermott, Barleycorn, and Anthony Kearns to name but a few singers. And at least also Andrea Rock & the Rebel Poets in their Ep "Mnà" (Women).

It was written about Joseph Plunket and Grace Gifford who married hours before Joseph was executed for his part in the 1916 rising in Dublin

Tom Clarke was a source of inspiration in the Post Office.
There was Joseph Plunket, pale and weak having come directly from the hospital where he had just undergone an operation.Joseph was shot seated, as he was too ill to stand for the firing squad.
He struggled to be with his comrades on that eventful morning. Margaret Skinnider said he looked like death and he met his death a few days later, not a natural one but... (continuer)

“Mnà”, termine gaelico che significa “donne”, è il nuovo EP di Andrea Rock, speaker radiofonico, musicista, produttore e frontman del progetto ANDREA ROCK & THE REBEL POETS.

A meno di un anno di distanza da “True Stories”, Andrea torna per raccontare le vite di quattro donne che hanno lasciato il segno nella memoria e nella cultura dell’Isola di Smeraldo.

I quattro brani che compongono l’ep sono l’ideale proseguimento del discorso intrapreso nel 2023 con l’album precedente: raccontare storie vere di personalità legate alla storia culturale e politica irlandese, attraverso un suono che tiene conto sia della tradizione che del contesto attuale. La proposta del progetto può essere descritta come “irish punk” o “celtic rock”, con alcune digressioni più hard, ravvisabili soprattutto nella timbrica vocale e nei suoni di chitarra, basso e batteria.

Cease Fire

Cease Fire
(December 2023)
Feat. Andre Louis

Sometimes a situation comes along that makes you have to try and do your bit to rectify the balance. For me as a musician, I of course attempt to do this through music.

When Mai approached me about recording a song regarding the ongoing troubles in Palestine I agreed.

The song is called 'Cease Fire' and through power of the human voice and a piano, we hope to bring attention to the current situation and to at least make you stop and think.

Mai's voice emotionally saws above the piano in a way that shall surely tug at the heartstrings. Though the song may be simple in scope, the message is poignant and meaningful, and we hope you share it with your friends and family.

La lotta continua

Riccardo Venturi, 4-4-2024 20:49


Due parole del traduttore. In tutti questi giorni di lutas que continuam mi è venuto di riprendere anche questa vecchia pagina, anch’essa a suo tempo iniziata da un giovane -e non so se ancora imberbe- Dq82 (ora la barba ce l’ha, e bella fluente). Per prima cosa, una versione inglese che, in pratica, è un po’ una riscrittura. A tale riguardo, poiché è saltata fuori la questione della possibile “derivazione” (o ispirazione) di questa canzone dalla struttura dell’originale A luta continua di Bongi e Miriam Makeba (1975), derivazione-ispirazione che anch’io ritengo molto probabile (in attesa di un intervento chiarificatore dei fratelli Severini), mi sono deciso a mantenere lo slogan portoghese anche in questa versione inglese. Derivazione, ispirazione o meno, ci sta troppo bene. Ho lasciato invece così come sono le situazioni di lotta del 1991; un po’ perché... (continuer)

The powers-that-be are looting the people and the planet in so many ways every day of the year, but on rare occasions when some people dare loot back a little, like in Chicago a couple nights ago, it's time to call in the National Guard.

Ameriican Requiem

Ameriican Requiem
(2024)
Album: Cowboy Carter

L'album è la seconda parte di una trilogia inaugurata con Renaissance del 2022. In questo album Beyoncé coraggiosamente si arrischia in un’operazione di riappropriazione culturale del country, tradizionalmente visto come musica bianca e di stampo conservatore.

Ma Beyoncé è comunque una donna del sud degli Stati Uniti e il country fa parte delle sue radici quanto la musica nera, e in questo album riesce a mettere insieme le due cose in maniera a volte sorprendente.

La traccia di apertura Ameriican Requiem (la doppia i è un riferimento all'atto II della trilogia) è un vero proprio requiem per il sogno americano, per tutte le idee di libertà e di uguaglianza tradite nel corso della storia, il funerale di una società libera dall'odio e dalla discriminazione ancora molto lontana dal realizzarsi.

L'album continua con Blackbiird (anche qui con la doppia i), cover della canzone scritta da Paul McCartney per i Beatles e dedicata a tutte le donne nere che lottano per liberarsi.

I cannot even begin to understand how governments can fail to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. They know - absolutely know - that Palestinian children are dying in droves. The children are killed by bombs, maimed, traumatised, experience amputations without anaesthesia, and they are starving. I chose a tune which has been around since about 1710. Children should sing this happily but we are destroying childhood.

Let Your Hammer Ring

anonyme
Let Your Hammer Ring
PRISON WORKSONGS
Recorded by Dr. Harry Oster at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, La. and other locations, mostly in 1959

Let Your Hammer Ring,
Big Louisiana, lead; Willy Rafus, and Arthur Davis.

Originally this song accompanied the driving of spikes into the wooden ties which held railroad tracks in place. The basic tool was a ten-pound hammer with two heads, hardly more than two inches in diameter. The steel-driving man swung freely in a complete circle about his head, then brought the hammer unerringly down on the spike. Since the railroad's disappearance at Angola, the same song has often been sung, as it is here, to facilitate wood-chopping. Unlike many of the group worksongs, "Let Your Hammer Ring" has artistic unity. The subject in this magnificent song swings naturally from the ring of the hammer to ringing a plea to the governor for pardon; the desire for a pardon... (continuer)

January 11, 2015 marks 13 years since the opening of US detention
facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Supporters of human rights and due process are today joining together from all corners of the world to mark the event in the form of protests and peaceful actions. In Australia, Dr. Aloysia Brooks, torture prevention advocate, and songwriter and human rights advocate, Les Thomas, have released the song ‘Guantanamo Blues’, and included an open letter (below) to President Barack Obama calling for him to close Guantanamo, restore due process and human rights.

The song was written to raise awareness about the ongoing situation of those detained in the facility. Most of the 127 prisoners that remain have been cleared for release, but remain imprisoned without charge or trial. An unknown number of men are participating in a hunger-strike to protest their ongoing detention... (continuer)

Leve Palestina: The Rhyme of the Undamned
The Palestine Chronicle, March 11, 2024
by Louis Brehony

Fighting the ban, Leve Palestina is simultaneously a rebellion against proscriptions, right-wing media campaigns, and the constant attack on our right to solidarity with resistance.

Cultural effects of the Zionist genocide and the Gaza Resistance have compounded this now global confrontation. The steadfastness of the displaced, besieged, bombarded and massacred has seen hospital workers and families huddle together in song and poetry, while invading soldiers dance and defile the scorched land of Palestine.

Like all other phases of the Palestinian struggle, the present is enlivened by musical anthems. The prominence of Leve Palestina (Long Live Palestine), first performed a half-century ago by Palestinian-Swedish band Kofia, made it 2023’s “song of the year,” according... (continuer)

Soundgarden: Mailman
(1994)
dall'album Superunknown dei Soundgarden pubblicato l'8 marzo 1994
Parole di Chris Cornell
Musica di Matt Cameron

In occasione dei trent'anni di un album fondamentale che, come scrisse il giornale online The A.V. Club, "ridefinisce e trascende il grunge", inseriamo questa canzone tenebrosa dalla penna e dalla voce indimenticabile del grande Chris Cornell.

La prossima canzone è un racconto che arriva da un impiegato del servizio postale statunitense. Fanno meravigliosamente il loro lavoro. Indossano pantaloncini corti d’estate, sono cortesi, attenti, sono gentili con i cani, e poi ogni tanto entrano in un ufficio postale e sparano a ogni singolo collega che incontrano. A parte questo, però, il loro lavoro viene svolto in modo esemplare.

Lonely Banna Strand (the Ballad of Roger Casement)
"Roger David Casement (1864 – 1916) was a humanitarian campaigner and an Irish patriot, poet, revolutionary, and nationalist. He was a British consul, famous for his reports and activities against human rights abuses in the Congo and Peru and also for his dealings with Germany before Ireland’s Easter Rising in 1916. An Irish nationalist and Parnellite in his youth, he worked in Africa for commercial interests and later in the service of Britain. However, the Boer War and his consular investigation into atrocities in the Congo led Casement to anti-Imperialist and, ultimately, to Irish Republican and separatist political opinions. He sought to obtain German support for a rebellion in Ireland against British rule. Shortly before the Easter Rising, he landed in Ireland and was arrested. He was subsequently convicted and executed by the British for treason. His remains were buried in the yard... (continuer)

Bearing Witness

On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force, died after setting himself on fire outside the front gate of the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. Immediately prior to the live-streamed act, Bushnell said that he was protesting against "what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers" and declared that he "will no longer be complicit in genocide", after which he doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire.

As he burned, Bushnell repeatedly shouted "Free Palestine!" while one Secret Service officer pointed a gun at him and two others attempted to extinguish him.

Shackled (Song for Nûdem Durak)
Words & Music Ruth Hazleton
Album: DAISYWHEEL (2019)



Nûdem Durak is an ethnic Kurdish singer from Cizre, Turkey. She is well-known throughout her community for teaching local folk songs in the Kurdish language to young children in sing-alongs. Kurds are one of Turkey’s most heavily persecuted minorities, with a long history of tensions between Kurds and the governments of Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, where sizable minorities live.

Up until 1991, the Kurdish language was entirely banned in Turkey. A law passed that year allows the language for communication but bans the purposefully vague “spreading of propaganda.”

To the Turkish government, which even banned the word “Kurd” until the 1990s (calling them “Mountain Turks” instead) simply singing was unacceptable. Nûdem was arrested in 2015, and charged under the vague notion of propagandizing because the songs she sang were in her own... (continuer)

The Urgent Call of Palestine
[1972]

From the EP The Urgent Call of Palestine
Music by Zeinab Shaath
Lyrics by Lalita Panjabi

"More than 50 years ago in Beirut, teenager Zeinab Shaath recorded a set of revolutionary folk music — the first English-language songs to lift up the Palestinian cause to the wider world. Inspired by Vietnam-era protest music from Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, “The Urgent Call of Palestine’’ record was intended to share the stories and messages of Palestinian resistance to an international audience."
