Description:
??Every movement which has ever won anything has had songs? says Marc Ribot.
With ??Songs of Resistance 1948 ?? 2018??, Ribot (one of the world??s most accomplished and acclaimed guitar players) set out to assemble a set of songs that spoke to this political moment with appropriate ambition, passion, and fury.
The eleven songs on the record are drawn from the World War II anti-Fascist Italian partisans, the U.S. civil rights movement and Mexican protest ballads, as well as original compositions, and feature a wide range of guest vocalists, including Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Meshell Ndegeocello, Justin Vivian Bond, Fay Victor, Sam Amidon and Ohene Cornelius. -
From back of CD:
"** Due to fears that Trump regime retaliation would threaten her visa status, the vocalist on this recording of Rata De Dos Patas has requested that we delete all reference to her indentity. We believe her fears are entirely justified, and have complied with her wishes.
"We thank her for her wonderful performance, and for her great courage in making the recording at all. And we look forward to a day when political and artistic expression is no longer under the shadow of such vindictive and racist repression. Venceremos!"
