Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

American folkies from the 1960s weren't the first artists to write political songs. Musicians around the world have felt the need to speak out, often to stir up resistance and action as well as shore up support. The message can supersede the music in these songs, but the right balance between music and lyrics can turn two halves into one amazing whole. Sometimes on the world-music collection Protest we have to count on liner notes to find out what the song is about--Stella Chiweshe's "Paite Rima" is a recontextualized traditional prayer that begs Shona lion spirits to end the bloodshed--but the music is always inspiring and occasionally transcendent. English speakers won't need liner notes for the great Pete Seeger's "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" or Larry Kirwan's (of Black 47) equally strong "Bobby Sands, MP," which captures all of the anger and sadness in Irish politics. Released just before the 2004 U.S. presidential election, this album is filled with messages that deserve an audience anytime. – Tad Hendrickson

Finally something new from Ellipsis Arts!!!! Its about time! This recording has some top notch musicians and really rousing catchy tunes, with causes galore. Even my 11 year old was dancing to it, and my parrot whistled along!
