Os Mutantes - Eu descobri Artist collective An artist collective is an initiative that is the result of a group of artists working together, usually under their own management, towards shared aims. The aims of an artist collective can include almost anything that is relevant to the needs of the artist, this can range from purchasing bulk materials, sharing equipment, space or materials, through to following shared ideologies, aesthetic and political views or even living and working together as an extended family. Sharing of ownership, risk, benefits, and status is implied, as opposed to other, more common business structures with an explicit hierarchy of ownership such as an association or a company. Compare with art colony, art commune, and art cooperative. Artist collectives have occurred throughout history, often gathered around central resources, for instance the ancient sculpture workshops at the marble quarries on Milos in Greece and Carrara in Italy.

R&B, Soul, Funk, and Social Consciousness | African-American Images As the 50s became the 60s, African-American musicians who worked in R&B and Soul struggled to break out of the Chittlin’ Circuit, that small network of African-American clubs and theaters that spanned the South and the urban North. While some musicians found great success others saw their success “taken” from them by white performers. The 1960s also saw the rise of Black-owned media and the increasing centrality of social consciousness to African-American music. A good place to start this discussion will be to look at the differences between Northern and Southern music. Compare this with Otis Redding’s version. We can see the differences between Stax and Motown when we look at what happens when a Motown artist covered Otis Redding. Southern artists also covered northern artists. Sam Cooke shared a gospel-inspired aesthetic and social consciousness with another Chicago performer, Curtis Mayfield. Last week we looked at the appropriation of Rock & Roll by white performers.

Os Mutantes - Fool Metal Jack (2013 Full Album) The Protest Movement: The 10 Best Political Protest Songs of the 70s This 1978 single by The Clash, also appeared on US versions of their 1977 debut album (which wasn't released in the States until 1979). This is just one of many socially conscious protest songs by The Clash that could of been considered for this list. The Band was also involved with the UK "Rock Against Racism" protest movement, and their feelings towards racism was heavily reflected in their music. "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" tackles many weighty issues such as anti-violence, race relations & wealth distribution. The song also protests the mainstreaming of punk rock: "Turning rebellion into money" and it takes aim at the social decline in the UK: "If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway." For a 4 minute song it really does cover a lot of ground.

Jim James - Regions Of Light And Sound Of God (Full Album HQ) Right On! Classic Political Hard Soul-Funk Albums, Singles & LP-Tracks Sly & The Family Stone There's a Riot Goin' On (1971) Simply the greatest single album I have ever heard. This is Sly Stone's magnum opus, and it's straight out off a cocaine-induced hell of paranoia. Muddy sounds, warped lyrics, eerie guitars, droning organs, sinister bass, and that unforgettable tired, tired voice. This is as raw as an exposed nerve... The stage is set with the sardonic "Luv & Haight", a messy mixture of rumbling basslines, fatback drums, hints of brass and a world weary Sly Stone proclaiming he feels so good, he doesn't need to move. The pace slows down considerably with the drug hazed, ultra paranoid future blues of "Just Like a Baby", on which Sly and his buddy Bobby Womack moan, weep and testify while a plodding bass and spooky Hammond organ unnervingly carry on behind them. Before you know it, you feel like you've been dumped at an abandoned station where a tired, beaten up locomotive is trying to gather up momentum. "Time" is where it all collapses...

La lutte pour les droits civiques en musique (1955-1964). De nombreux titres de soul, folk chroniquent à leur manière les grandes étapes de la lutte pour les droits civiques. Revenons dans cet article sur la période 1955-1964. Rosa Parks. * Le 1er décembre 1955, une militante de la NAACP, Rosa Parks, est arrêtée à Montgomery (Alabama), parce qu’elle a refusé de laisser sa place à un Blanc dans un bus. Un car transportant des "marcheurs de la liberté" est arrêté et incendié par une foule blanche sudiste. James Meredith escorté pour se rendre en cours. - En 1962, la Cour suprême ordonne que James Meredith, un étudiant noir, soit admis à l’université du Mississippi, ce qui n’avez jamais été le cas jusque là. - Le 3 avril 1963, la SCLC lance un puissant mouvement de protestation à Birmmingham (Alabama) contre la politique de ségrégation de la ville. « They will tell their lying stories Send their dogs to bite our bodies They will lock us into prison Carry it on, carry it on, carry it on.” MLK eet Joan Baez en pleine discussion.

Quand la soul s'engage. La musique soul puise ses racines dans le gospel, auquel fut incorporé la fougue du rythm’n’blues. Cette musique puissamment émotionnelle se développe dans la foulée du succès de Ray Charles en 1954, pour atteindre son plein épanouissement au cours des 1960’s. Dans un premier temps son public se compose principalement de Noirs élevés dans l’ambiance désinhibante de L’Eglise, et de quelques jeunes admirateurs blancs séduits par ces chants qu’ils entendent à la radio. A l’origine, comme pour le rock’n’roll, la soul exprime une rébellion. La "Soul" est d'abord littéralement l'"âme" noire perceptible dans toutes les voix des musiques noires religieuses (Gospel, Negro-Spirituals) ou profanes (Blues, Jazz, Rythm'N'Blues). A partir des années 1960, les songwriters noirs incorporent souvent un contenu social dans leur répertoire, loin des balades sirupeuses dans lesquels on cantonne trop souvent le genre.
