Thinking politically / socially-engaged songs (2)

Wigwam's "Pedagogue" is even much better and surely deserves much appreciation.

                           

A Finnish Prog site has in its review of Wigwam's album Being described "Pedagogue" in this way:

"”Pedagogue” has its roots in the three-minute single ”Pedagogi”, released a couple of years earlier, but on Being Gustavson modified and expanded the composition significantly and the link to the original version is barely recognisable. The beautifully sounding ”Pedagogue”, which is full of changes in tempo, features brass arrangements by Pekka Pohjola that are a treat to listen to and bring to mind not only Pohjola’s idol Frank Zappa, but also Pohjola’s own first solo albums. In the context of Being, the arrangements could have worked a bit more sharply, though. Gustavson’s effervescent and nimble-fingered soloing on a Fender electric piano is also particularly stunning in ’Pedagogue’. "
