“La Complaine du Partisan,” a song about the French Resistance written in 1943 by Emmanuel d’Astier de la Vigerie with music by Anna Marly, was adapted into English as “The Partisan” by Hy Zaret, author of the Righteous Brother’s “Unchained Melody.” Covered by artists like Joan Baez and, most famously, Leonard Cohen, the song’s folk melody and melancholy lyricism have become so closely associated with Cohen that it has often been credited to him. Even Cohen himself remarked “I kind of re-introduced [“The Partisan”] into the world of popular music. I feel I wrote it, but I actually didn’t.”

Now another artist of Cohen’s stature, Tom Waits, may do the same for those who have never heard the World War II Italian anti-fascist song, “Bella Ciao,” which has been covered for decades in many languages and now appears as the first release on guitarist and composer Marc Ribot’s Songs of Resistance: 1942-2018, an album of protest music that comes out today and features guest vocals by Waits, Steve Earle, Meshell Ndegeocello, Justin Vivian Bond, and more. You can stream and buy the album here at Ribot’s Bandcamp page. Waits’ track is the first song he has released in two years, and it’s a helluva return.

The song comes from an old Italian folk ballad that was “revised and re-written during World War II for the Italian anti-fascist resistance fighters,” notes Sam Barsanti at The Onion’s A.V. Club. It has “since become an anthem of sorts for anyone looking to stick it to fascists.” Ribot and his collaborators fit the description. Waits’ “Bella Ciao” was released with a video, directed by Jem Cohen, “that makes its parallels with modern life very explicit,” Barsanti writes, “pairing Waits’ vocals with footage of police and soldiers guarding barricades at anti-Trump protests. It may sound heavy-handed, but fuck it, nobody said fighting fascists had to be subtle.”

Subtle it isn’t, but neither is the banning of Muslim refugees, the kidnapping and detention in camps of hundreds of migrant children, the transfer of $169 million dollars from other programs—including FEMA and the Coast Guard during yet another fatal hurricane season—for even more camps and ICE raids, the lying denial that thousands were left to die in Puerto Rico last year, and so on and so on.

Other songs on the album draw from the U.S. civil rights movement and Mexican protest ballads. At his site, Ribot acknowledges the perennial problem of the protest song. “There’s a lot of contradiction in doing any kind of political music, how to act against something without becoming it, without resembling what you detest… I imagine we’ll make mistakes,” he avows, but says the stakes are too high not to speak out. “From the moment Donald Trump was elected,” he decided “I’m not going to play downtown scene Furtwangler to any orange-comb-over dictator wannabe.” (The reference is to Wilhelm Furtwängler, leading classical conductor in Germany under the Nazi regime.)

Like so many folk songs, “Bella Ciao” has a complex and murky history: the original version, a peasant work song, may have a Yiddish origin, or in any case—explains the blog Poemas del rio wang—emerged from a region “where Jews, Romanians, Rusyns, Gypsies, Ukranians, Hungarians, Italians, Russians, Slovakians, Polish, Czech, Armenians, [and] Taters lived together” and where “melodies did not remain the exclusive property of only one ethnic group.” This submerged background gives the re-written “Bella Ciao” an even deeper resonance with the anti-fascism of the 1940s and that of today.

See the video and hear Waits and Ribot’s haggard yet determined “Bella Ciao (Goodbye Beautiful)”; read more about the song’s long history here. All proceeds from Ribot’s album will be donated to the Indivisible Project.

cacilds!

tom waits segue virgem de brasil… e, cada vez, mais longe de nossas po$$ibilidades.

afinal, ele não se apresenta em festivais, não “toca no rádio”, tem um precito beeeem salgado, tem creca com patrocinadores e seus shows são –  obrigatoriamente – em teatros com capacidade de, no máximo, 2 mil testemunhas!!!

e, claro, tom waits é um dos mais incisivos artefatos contra o “bundamolismo” reinante!

quer dizer… lascou! a conta não fecha!

esta apresentação no letterman, reforça a urgência de nossas preces para ele aparecer porraqui!

amém!

e se precisamos de um alento: durante a turnê dos hermanos, toquei muitas músicas de tom waits (antigas e do “bad as me”) e, em todas elas, SEMPRE apareceu alguém querendo saber que som era aquele! quer dizer…

será que é pelo “bundamolismo” reinante que Ele não desce aqui?

TOM WAITS
No The Guardian de hoje.

Um belo trecho:

He is, he says, equally wary of the ease of search and shuffle. “They have removed the struggle to find anything. And therefore there is no genuine sense of discovery. Struggle is the first thing we know getting along the birth canal, out in the world. It’s pretty basic. Book store owners and record store owners used to be oracles, in that way; you’d go in this dusty old place and they might point you toward something that would change your life. All that’s gone.”

*********************

É isso aí, tá tudo muito fácil. Acho inclusive que foi toda essa facilidade que produziu a geração mais bundona de todos os tempos, essa que está aí com seus iPhones enfiados no cu e um bonezinho com uma marca gigante na cabeça. Ninguém quer procurar, fazer esforço, CONSTRUIR alguma coisa. Não, o negócio é ficar na merda do facefuck o dia inteiro recebendo uma coisa “engraçadinha” depois da outra  e passando adiante. São mimados inúteis que jamais tomarão qualquer responsabilidade para si e seu grito de guerra é “Tá de boa”. Caralho, nada irrita mais que ouvir essa merda, “tá de boa”.
