Fils du Béton - Symphonie Pirate

Info: Mens der ventes på Keny Arkanas kommende nye album, er det værd at huske, at fransk hip hop heldigvis har andet at byde på. Som fx betondrengen Khalifrat, der på Symphonie Pirate giver det franske samfund set fra bunden en række hårde hug. Og samtidigt Graa Blog’s hilsen til de seje festpirater i København.

Vred fransk hip hop.

Info: While waiting for Keny Arkana’s forthcoming new album, it's worth remembering that French hip hop fortunately has more to offer. Such as the concrete boy Khalifrat who at ‘Symphonie Pirate’ gives French society as seen from the bottom a series of hardblows. And at the same time Graa Blog's nod to the cool party pirates in Copenhagen.

Angry French hip hop.

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 .....

VA - Virus 100 (Dead Kennedys covers)

Info: Graa Blog kom i en meget nylig post om Rumble Militia til at skrive, at der kun findes få heavy metal bands med en klar antifascistisk dagsorden. Det passer naturligvis ikke!

Masser af heavy i alle afskygninger med solide doser punk og andet godt oveni.

Info: In a very recent post on Rumble Militia Graa Blog wrote that there are few heavy metal bands with a clear anti-fascist agenda. This is obviously not true! As clearly demonstrated in this (classic) compilation from Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacle label, released to mark the record label 100th album. 15 Dead Kennedys highs interpreted by a fierce lineup.

Lots of heavy in all shades with solid doses of punk and other goodies as well.

VA - Calling at Duke Street, An Anti-Fascist POP Compilation LP

 

Info: Et i Graa Blog kontekst meget anderledes antifascistisk album. En fin, meget melodisk og umiskendeligt britisk samling sange fra de tidlige 1990'ere. Duke Street er en handelsgade i London, men nærmere baggrund for udgivelsen kendes ikke.

Indie, indiepop og indierock med meget engelsk vokal.

Info: In Graa Blog contexts this is a very different anti-fascist album. A nice, very melodic and unmistakably British collection of songs from the early 1990s. Duke Street is a commercial street in London, but detailed background of the release is unknown.

Anarchist Academy - Am Rande des Abgrunds

Info: To navne lyser op på den tyske venstrefløjs hip hop scene i de unge år i 1990'erne. Det ene er Microphone Mafia, og det andet er Anarchist Academy, hvis første album Graa Blog her har fornøjelsen af at præsentere. Anarchist Academy var aktive fra 1992, men stoppede som gruppe omkring år 2000.  Medlemmerne dukker dog stadig op på scenen. Således indgår Deadly T i La Resistance, det nye tyske supernavn inden for bevidst tysk hip hop.

Ol' school hip hop i ordenes bedste forstand med kritiske og anarkistiske tekster - på tysk (og lidt engelsk).

VA - 45 Años de Lucha. Partido Socialista de Chile

Info: I disse dage er det 37 år siden, at Salvador Allende og hans progressive regering blev styrtet ved et blodigt militærkup i Chile.
