Artists United Against Apartheid - Sun City

Info: Lidt af en klassiker blandt de mere mainstream-orienterede støttealbums, og en god repræsentant for den bredde, som den folkelige modstand nåede i kampen mod apartheid i Sydafrika op gennem 1980'erne. Pladen er et opråb om international kulturel boykot af den 'hvide' luksusferieressort Sun City, der stod symbol på apartheidregimets groteske diskrimation og den rige vestlige verdens ansvar for at vedligeholde systemet.

En række stjerner spiller lidt af hvert med Sun City som bærende nummer.

Info: Bit of a classic among the more mainstream-oriented benefit albums, and a good representative of the breadth of popular opposition reached in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa during the 1980s. The record is a call for international cultural boycott of the 'white' luxurious holiday resort Sun City, which was symbolic of the apartheid regime's grotesque discrimination and the rich western world's responsibility for supporting the system.

A variety of stars plays a little of everything with "Sun City" as bearing number.

Tracklist:
01 Artists United Against Apartheid - Sun City
02 Peter Gabriel & Shankar - No More Apartheid
03 Keith LeBlanc - Revolutionary Situation
04 Artists United Against Apartheid - Sun City (Version II)

VA - Election Day

Info: En håndfuld hovedsagligt håndspillede sange på en dag, hvor det ser ud til, at en stor del af vælgerne i USA åbenbart ikke kan få det højrerabiat og bindegalt nok. Samlingens oprindelse er uklar - men holdningerne ikke, og de er nok værd at have med til Tea Party.

Akustiske ballader, folk og americana - samt den allestedsnærværende David Rovics.....

Info: A handful of mostly hand-played songs on a day where it seems that a large proportion of voters in the United States apparently seeks even more rightextremist and mad-mens opinions. The origins of the compilation are uncertain - but the statements are not, and they're probably worth bringing to the Tea Party.

Acoustic ballads, folk and Americana - and the ubiquitous David Rovics .....

1. Amy Martin - Consequences
