Freedom Flotilla Float On

Freedom Flotilla Float On
Handala assaltata dall’esercito israeliano:
è un atto di pirateria

L’esercito di occupazione israeliano ha assaltato e abbordato con violenza la nave Handala, sequestrando l’imbarcazione e i beni di prima necessità destinati alla popolazione civile di Gaza. Si tratta di un’azione illegale, priva di qualsiasi giustificazione sul piano del diritto internazionale.

Le persone a bordo, attivisti per i diritti umani provenienti da diversi Paesi, sono di fatto rapite: questo costituisce a tutti gli effetti un sequestro di persona.

Written by Bev (Beverly) Grant
On the compilation, What Now People?, Vol. 1, 2004 Smithsonian Folkways Recordings / 1975 Paredon Records
The Human Condition performed this song as part of a Channel 13 WNET show called “Woman Alive,” broadcasted in 1975.

Bev Grant wrote the song “Inez” shortly after hearing about the story of Inez Garcia, who was convicted of murder for killing a man who raped her.

The legal case of Inez Garcia - who was convicted in 1974 of murder for killing a man who participated to rape her - became symbolic in the women’s movement, underscoring women’s right to fight back against... (Continues)

Acronimo per Gaza WCNSF

Acronimo per Gaza WCNSF
ACRONIMO la definizione che ne fa Andrea Zanzotto nella sua poesia Altro 25 aprile

destini che pur non son destini ma solo acronimi:
crimini che diventano acronimi

Ecco il testo completo

La pletora in cui affoghiamo mi sembra
oggi, o eterno 25 aprile, una golosa pastura
Il mondo gremito di cose fa che
se tenti ritrartene ti fa ancora sprofondare, per questo
è lì, abbondante di cancri, di morti, di non sorti
eppure risorgenti, tra ghost e pietra di cippo
che rompe le teste –

Anche se vi sono i giovani studiosi dell’IRCA (ist. Resistenza)
v’è quest’anno google
che maligno come il sole e suo parente
tutti ci globalizza in peste
padrona finale di tutte le feste
di tutte le storie
di tutte le memorie
e lo scimunito materico suo DNA, parente
del nostro suona il grande intruglio, il guazzabuglio
della Bhagavad Gita, della sua arte infinita che
è pur qualcosa, detto vita (che è?) in orrendi... (Continues)

"This music video documents the Dakota Access Pipeline Protest at Standing Rock.

Special thanks to The American Indian Movement, Graywolf, Pony, the Indigenous People and Water Protectors everywhere."

What is the black snake in the Standing Rock?
There's an ancient Lakota prophecy about a black snake that would slither across the land, desecrating the sacred sites and poisoning the water before destroying the Earth. For many Indigenous people gathered near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, that snake has a name — the Dakota Access pipeline.

Not Flour but Sand

Not Flour but Sand
Children are murdered daily in Palestine, but genocide is like that. It is appalling that so many people in the comfortable west seem not to care. While we might be frustrated by our impotence on this issue, surely our consciences demand that we not remain silent.

This song describes the horror of a young boy appearing on our screens stuffing his mouth with sand. The sand was a substitute for the flour which has vanished from Gaza.

Israel closed the northern border to genuine aid from the UN and relief agencies, while hypocritically instituting a so-called humanitarian organisation with US support. There was no safety at these distribution points, which were nothing more than yet another arm of Israel’s genocidal campaign, where aid seekers became easy targets and hundreds were slaughtered.

Planet B

Planet B
Album: Infest the Rats’ Nest (2019)

“Planet B” is a heavy rock song with thrash-metal influences, departing from the band’s traditional style. Quite cynically, the band criticizes humanity’s role in destroying the earth, and society’s negligence to reduce further damage to the environment.

The opening track to Infest the Rats' Nest forecasts what will happen if humanity continues to ignore environmental issues. Earth becomes unsustainable, and humanity attempts to leave with no target world in sight.

Concentration Camp Blues

Concentration Camp Blues
[2021]
Music Video Filmed On the Rosebud Reservation
Written, produced, mixed and mastered by Frank Waln for FDW Entertainment
First released as a video and single file
On the album "In the Key of Lakota" (2021)

' The impact of settler colonialism is still evident in America today, widely impacting Indigenous communities across the country. On the Rosebud Reservation alone, Waln says, poverty is rampant. Unemployment levels are over 80%, and violence and addiction have become a problem that desperately needs solving.

To continue experiencing the consequences of colonialism compounds the trauma experienced by both the old and new generations, Waln says.

“I use music to process this pain,” he said. “In my culture, we look at medicine from a non-Western perspective. And music is medicine, so I’m constantly trying to find new ways to keep making new and better medicine for myself and sharing... (Continues)

What Made the Red Man Red

What Made the Red Man Red
[2015]
On his first studio record, "The Bridge" [2017]
Lyrics by Frank Waln, with samples from Disney's 1953 "Peter Pan"

Lakota rapper and activist Frank Waln wrote this scathing satire of the song “What Made The Red Man Red?” from Disney’s 1953 film Peter Pan to criticize its broadly stereotypical portrayal of Native American tribes. Using audio samples from the original song, he lambasts the United States for its legacy of colonialism and genocide in what was originally Native territory as well as Hollywood’s whitewashing of the harsh history of U.S.-Native relationships.

The song was first released on Dec. 29, 2015, on KOYA FM, the local radio station for the Sicangu Oyate (Oyate is the Lakota word for nation). Place and date are significant: on that December day of 1890, about 300 Lakota were slaughtered by the US 7th Cavalry in what remains sadly known as the Wounded Knee Massacre.... (Continues)

Sanghe
FURÈSTA (2025)
Featuring Abdullah Miniawy

Una delle collaborazioni del disco è Sanghe con Abdullah Miniawy. Com’è nata e come mai il tema del sangue?

Mi sono artisticamente innamorata di lui durante un festival a Napoli. Fin dalla prima volta che ci siamo incontrati c'è stata subito intesa tra noi, perché anche se da posti lontani, veniamo dalla stessa cultura. Io avevo già ultimato l'album, ma gliel’ho inviato comunque chiedendogli se volesse collaborare in qualche modo. Abdullah ha scritto una poesia sul senso della guerra – nasce come poeta – e sull'origine dei conflitti umani. Infatti, il brano è una riflessione apolitica, ma più storica e filosofica. Citiamo anche i saraceni, per esempio. Tutti siamo legati dallo stesso sangue sanguinario e forse è per questo che siamo destinati alla guerra.

Gaza,vite sfollate

Gaza,vite sfollate
Anche questa sera ho cercato di cucinare con cura, con il rispetto che meritano i prodotti che mi nutrono, e con amore per la compagna che con me li consumerà e dirà:che buono. Lo dirà perché ha passato un mese in ospedale mangiando e commentando:che schifo.
Sono contento ma non riesco ad essere felice . Gaza è sempre presente e questa carestia voluta e usata come arma forse mi fa star peggio delle bombe perché quelle non riesco neppure a immaginarmele mentre la fame ci riesco, è più facile è più quotidiana, familiare.

White War

White War
[2020]
On the album "Born Ready"

Many of Waln's songs tackle Native American social issues. In this particular song, introduced and concluded by spoken words by John Trudell, he put's the social issues in the larger perspective of a perpetuation of the historical "Indian Wars" in a still lasting "white war" against the identities, ways of life of the native people. As oppression has many ways, it needs a lot on both side to find a way out. Resistance on one side and apologies on the other won't do it alone. It needs deconstruction of the minds and decolonization of the memories. And the key is sovereignty. And the misunderstandings about it.

“Every time I perform, there’s people in the crowd who were alive when it was illegal for us to be Lakota. So, even though you know that history is in the past, it’s very much impacted our reality,”

Médine ne se sent pas concerné par les paroles de La Marseillaise et a décidé de la remplacer par “un joli poème”. Ce qui l'oppose ainsi à l'hymne français, qui a pu être critiqué par son côté sanglant et guerrier.

Selon Médine, cette musique représenterait davantage la diversité de la France. Enfin, le clip vidéo démontre la volonté de Médine à réconcilier les français entre eux en les faisant poser sur une photo de famille.

For Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, Whose Spirit Is Present Here and in the Dappled Stars

For Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, Whose Spirit Is Present Here and in the Dappled Stars
[1986 / 1997]
On the 1997 album "Letter From the End of the Twentieth Century" by Joy Harjo & Poetic Justice
Lyrics [1986] and Music by Joy Harjo

The song honors the spirit of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash, a Mi'kmaq activist who dedicated her life to help Indian people everywhere, organizing social care, involved with educational projects and participating to protests. She was involved with the American Indian Movement (AIM), participated in the Wounded Knee occupation in 1973, became the higher-ranked woman in the AIM. She disappeared in December 1975 and was found murdered in February 1976. She was 30 years old. (For further details, see the accompanying notice to the song "Anna Mae" by Larry Long)
At the time Harjo wrote the poem/song, the murder of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash was still a cold case.

Cartoline dall'esilio

Il Volume III del progetto discografico "CARTOLINE DALL'ESILIO" contiene 9 canzoni di guerra. Contro la guerra, of course.
Pubblicato a ottobre 2023. Mi ci hanno costretto gli anni che stiamo vivendo. Invero non ho fatto molta fatica: ho drizzato le orecchie, mi sono messo in ascolto, e le canzoni erano lì, soffiavano nel vento.
Ne propongo una.

Due ragazzi (un giovane uomo e una giovane donna, anche il canto è a due voci) che per motivi diversi entrano in quel tritacarne - e tritacoscienze – chiamato guerra. Siamo in Ucraina, oggi, o in altri luoghi e altre epoche? I due sono dalla stessa parte? Su fronti avversi? E chi lo sa, in fondo non ha molta importanza saperlo.

L’esperienza del conflitto li accomuna, e forse li distanzia allo stesso tempo. Citando gli Afterhours, è la fine la più importante: come rispondi alla domanda “ dimmi se basta a cancellare... (Continues)

Loveless C.C.C.

Loveless C.C.C. - Herman Beemans - 1937

This is another song about the Civilian Conservation Corp (see “CCC Blues” for additional notes). The origins of this song are unclear but it is set to the tune of “Careless Love” and reflects the hard work and homesickness the young men experienced. It seems to have been composed by a camper at the Broken Arrow camp in Oklahoma. It is sung here by Tommy Rhoden who learned it from a fellow campers ‘songbook.’ The camper was one Herman Beemans. It was quite common in the day for people to keep handwritten ‘songbooks’ or ‘ballad books’ with lyrics to their favorite songs.
