LA CCG NUMERO 6000

E così eccoci giunti anche alla CCG n° 6000; ci abbiamo messo un po' più tempo del solito, stavolta, dato che la n° 5000 risale al gennaio scorso. Però queste ultime mille CCG sono state tra le più importanti mai inserite, oltre ad aver visto una progressiva trasformazione del nostro sito in spazio esclusivamente dedicato ai testi, alle traduzioni e ai commenti in vero spazio interattivo, con la possibilità di scaricare mp3 (tramite links) e video. Questo per quanto riguarda l'aspetto "tecnico" del sito; per l'altro aspetto, quello che più conta, forse l'unico commento da fare sarebbe quello espresso da Brett Dennen nella sua bella canzone: The Holidays Are Here (And We're Still At War). Perché in guerra ci siamo sempre tutti quanti. Allora, per questa 6000esima Canzone Contro la Guerra, abbiamo pensato di proporre una serie di vignette satiriche,... (continua)

This is not a history lesson. We're not historians. We're songwriters. And anyway... how the hell is anybody going to explain the systematic state sponsored slaughter of close to a million people with a handful of songs? We're not.

Truth is, there is no explanation for the Rwandan genocide. What there is in abundance, however, is ignorance. If these songs make just one person dig a little deeper, then we've made our money back, so to speak. We've touched upon specific pieces of the horror, but don't even pretend to be able to understand it from the Rwandan point of view. We're observers from afar. Interested, heartbroken observers....but merely observers nonetheless. Please... (continua)

Lo stupro come arma di guerra contro le donne

La guerra è un crimine. Lo stupro è il peggior crimine dei crimini.

"Lo stupro è il processo consapevole di intimidazione grazie al quale tutti gli uomini tengono tutte le donne in stato di paura"
Susan Brownmiller.

Non si tratta di un atto incontrollato. Lo stupro viene commesso dopo essere stato vagheggiato, pianificato, vagliato, preparato ed è un atto che cerca simbolicamente la morte della propria vittima, ovvero che essa desideri essere morta. Lo stupro in guerra è anche uno strumento di esilio forzato, di distruzione di una comunità, di un gruppo o di un popolo. Lo stupro è infine spettacolo: qualcosa che deve essere visto e sentito e raccontato agli altri.
L'orrore palese del conflitto armato... (continua)

Da/From: "Male di amare"

Registrazione: 1980
Parole e musica del Collettivo Ticino Riva Sinistra

Il Collettivo Ticino Riva Sinistra di Nino Jomini, come oramai dovrebbe essere noto a tutti coloro che frequentano il nostro sito, era di Castano Primo; e di Castano primo era anche Giovanni Ardizzone, lo studente ucciso il 27 ottobre 1962 durante una manifestazione per la pace in occasione della Crisi di Cuba. Sull'Ardizzone già il CTRS aveva scritto una canzone. Quest'altra, più lunga ed esplicita (ma che utilizza senz'altro molte parti di "Dopo Ardisun"; quasi sembrano due "rami" della stessa canzone), la riprendiamo (ricopiandola) invece dalla brochure "Il canzoniere del Collettivo Ticino Riva Sinistra - Quindici canzoni popolari con testo a fronte" edito dalla Cooperativa "Il Guado" di Rebecchetto e fattoci pervenire da Simone Galli di Saronno (che non finiremo mai di ringraziare).

Giovanni Ardizzone:
La ballata dell'Ardizzone
Dopo Ardisun

Ho scaricato questa canzone da internet, ma non completa. Ve la invio ugualmente, nella speranza che voi sappiate completarne il testo (quello che vi mando l'ho trascritto all'ascolto e non giuro che sia esatto, essendo in romanesco)

Il testo completo è stato poi inviato da Simone Valentini

Album: "Voce a mana"

Chissà se è Linus Torvalds o qualche genio in serra
quello che fa il webmaster contro la santa guerra
non lo sapremo mai, fra un bug e una canzone
lui se ne sta a Ginevra, lavora al sincrotrone

Chissà se è Emma Goldman anarca nella Storia
la Marmotta di lago che insegna la memoria,
non lo sapremo mai, le notti lei le passa
a suonare il silenzio come fosse grancassa

Chissà se è Elsa Morante di sogno e resistenza
quella che sta al lavoro fino a tardi a Piacenza,
non lo sapremo mai, le getteremo un ponte
che passi sopra al Po diretto all'orizzonte

Chissà se è Enzo del Re nel mezzo ai marinari
quello che sale sempre da giù a Mola di Bari
non lo sapremo mai, la vita picchia e tanto
le regole son troppe, ci vuole l'esperanto

Chissà se è Jean Jaurès... (continua)

Da "Both Sides of the Gun" del 2006.

Un'invettiva contro l'amministrazione Bush, a partire dalla gestione della tragedia di New Orleans, su cui nel 2005 si è abbattuto l'uragano Katrina.

E' il brano che apre la seconda parte dell'album "Both Sides of the Gun" (2006).

Antonello ha dedicato al padre diverse canzoni: "Mio padre ha un buco in gola"(dall'album "le cose della vita", 1973) , che prende il titolo dalla ferita subita da Vincenzo Italo Venditti nella seconda guerra mondiale. La "leggenda" racconta che un proiettile rimbalzò sulla fibbia della cinta e si conficcò in gola.
La canzone, dai toni molti aspri, è un atto di accusa verso i genitori giudicati dal giovane Venditti estremamente "chiusi" e simboli di un'Italia che non gli piace. La madre è "professoressa" di latino e greco, il papà proprio negli anni della contestazione è vice prefetto di Roma. Da notare il "simpatico" aneddoto secondo cui durante l'occupazione della facoltà di Architettura (Valle Giulia, vedi la canzone "Qui", "Cuore", 1984), il vice-prefetto chiamò con il megafono suo figlio dicendo "Antonello non fare il cretino, vai a casa"; Tornando alla canzone "Mio padre ha un buco...

Dal primo solo album, intitolato semplicemente "Jarvis" (2006)... e non si può che essere d'accordo con Jarvis: sono le teste di cazzo a fare ancora il bello e il cattivo tempo in giro per il mondo. Dedicato a Bush e Blair, in particolare.

Parodia della canzone (del 1988) Tjikker Likker Tjau Tjau di Kim Larsen & Bellamy
A parody of the 1988 Danish hit Tjikker Likker Tjau Tjau by Kim Larsen & Bellamy

Il testo è ripreso da protestsange.dk
Lyrics are reproduced from protestsange.dk



Kort efter at indspilningerne til protestsange.dk var gået i gang, opstod den forkætrede krise affødt af Muhammed-tegningerne som er blevet kaldt den største udenrigspolitiske krise i dansk politik siden Anden Verdenskrig. Den blev også til en indenrigspolitisk krise, fordi begivenhederne satte fokus på VK-regeringens anvendelse af Dansk Folkeparti som dens parlamentariske grundlag, et samarbejde som mange vurderede som værende integrationsskadeligt og til skade for landets omdømme. Krisen har siden sat sit præg på hele samfundslivet og altså også på dette album. Die Dumme Dänen besluttede sig for at kommentere krisen ved at lave... (continua)

Musica di Ciampi - Pavone - R.Ciampi - Marchetti
Album: Andare Camminare Lavorare

Rieccoci a noi due, Ciampi Piero, pure sulle CCG. Tanto sei ufficialmente risorto dal 18 novembre 2005, e quindi ti posso anche scrivere, motonave "Arrivederci" in navigazione e in avventura. Ti scrivo, oggi, a proposito di questa canzone che ho appena inserito in questo sito di canzoni contro la guerra, antimilitariste, pacifiste, insomma una roba così, non te la sto neanche a spiegare troppo. Tanto o ci siamo capiti, o non te ne frega un cazzo. Ce l'ho voluta mettere perché parla di questo Cristo "solo e senz'armi", parla di di un coro di chitarre infelici che cantavano per disperdere l'odio. Cosa mi stai dicendo, Piero? Parla più forte. Parlaci di questo Cristo che siamo tutti quanti noi. Parlaci di queste nostre salite, di come siamo stasera da qualche parte. E non voglio... (continua)

Different Therefore Equal

Secondo uno studio dell'OMS, la violenza domestica è la causa principale di morte o di lesioni gravi per donne tra 16 e 44 anni: più importante del cancro, della malaria o degli incidenti stradali.
Le statistiche sulla violenza all'interno della coppia variano sensibilmente da un paese all'altro. Secondo l'ONU, il 30% delle donne britanniche subisce abusi dai propri coniugi o ex-coniugi. In Giordania occidentale, la percentuale arriva al 52%, in Nicaragua al 28%, in Bangladesh al 47%, in Canada al 29%, nel Sud e il Sud-Est deell'Anatolia (Turchia) al 58%, in Australia al 23% e in Cambogia al 16%. Un inchiesta condotta in Svizzera ha dimostrato che una donna su cinque tra i 20 e i 60 anni dice di aver subito violenza fisica o sessuale dal coniuge o compagno.
Nel 70% dei casi di donne assassinate, il colpevole si rivela essere il proprio partner.
La violenza... (continua)
