Y la lucha seguirà hasta cerrar las venas abiertas de America Latina

In memory of Luis Sepulved, here's to you FUORI CAMPO (Off-Field) an Italian song


 written and performed


by Modena City Ramblers & Luis Sepulveda (Recited voice in Spanish)






LYRICS


Fuori campo
Fuori schermo
Fuori giro
Fuori governo
Niente titoli né clamore
Oltre il cerchio del riflettore
Niente voce
Niente stato
Niente borsa
Niente mercato
Fuori dall'attualità
Da progresso e modernità
EQUALISER
Fuori gara
Fuori tempo
Fuori strada
Fuori centro
Dai giornali e dalla storia
Uno scherzo della memoria
Niente affari
E investimenti
Niente soldi
Né giacimenti
Privilegi da godere
Niente luci, niente potere
EQUALISER


Las venas abiertas de America Latina tienen muchos nombres
se llaman huasipungo en Ecuador
latifundio y explotaciòn en Colombia
estaño y soledad en Bolivia
en Costa Rica se llaman United Fruit y explotaciòn
en Cuba, el burdel de America y explotaciòn
en Chile mineros masacrados y explotaciòn
en Argentina la primera dictatura militar
pero un ioven empezaba un largo camino en motocicleta
para conocer el corazòn de un continente
su nombre era Ernesto Guevara
y màs tarde serìa conocido como el Che..
En Centro America
en Guatemala siempre hay una de las ideas de Arbenz
en Mexico se cobija bajo una revoluciòn traicionada
y alli germina el sueño de una nueva revoluciòn
a los dos anhos en Cuba se esucha la segunda
deliberaciòn de La Habana
y ahora la historia tendrà que contar
con los pobres de America.

En Bolivia el general Torres encabeza un gobierno popular
y en Perù Velasco encabeza un goberno popular
en Brasil Joao Goulart encabeza un goberno popular
y en Chile se impone el Venceremos
y comienza el sueño de los mil dias de Allende
que termina con la larga noche tràgica de la dictatura.
Pero la lucha sigue..
Dijo el Che: si caigo que otras manos recojan mi fucil
y continuen el combate.
y lo prosiguen en Nicaragua eò Frente Sandinista de Liberaciòn Nacional
en El Salvador el Frente Farabundo Marti de Liberaciòn.
La esperanza sigue..
En Chile el Frente Patriòtico Manuel Rodriguez
y en Chiapas el Ejèrcito Zapatista de Liberaciòn Nacional.
Y la lucha seguirà hasta cerrar las venas abiertas de America Latina


Hasta siempre, Luis Sepulveda

Hi,

Y la lucha seguirà hasta cerrar las venas abiertas de America Latina

Loosely translated on Google, but if I am interpreting this right, this is the same sentiment with all of Latin America since the 1400's and probably before!

(And the fight will continue until the open veins of Latin America are closed .)

The only sad thing, for me, about all this, is that too much of "progressive music" these days is so meaningless that it tends to hide and hurt a lot of music at its start, which was quite political and was very socially aware and concerned. I've been criticized and threatened by a couple of folks because I said that 20th Century Schizoid Megalomaniac is about a lot of folks that have greed, hate and destruction in their veins ... and Latin America has been raped for 600 years and it needs to be stopped!

I'll put "Carcara" by Maria Betania (Brazil) next to this any day ... it was, in many ways, the first preview of what we would eventually see in "Apocalypse Now" ... 
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

You are right. 

I was born in 1970 and so I could not enjoy the Youth Movement of the Seventies that in Italy was very politicized and connected to prog groups like Area, Banco and PFM. At that time prog and politics went hand in hand, in Italy.

Hi,

The same sentiment goes for a lot of Africa that even caused a sensation when one quote from a play ("Marat/Sade") was so on it, as to implicate the control of the industrial European folks and their "greed', since there was no more gold to mine in Europe, unless you went after the Vatican! A little different gold, but what the heck!

The fact was that what was happening in Africa was very loud and clear in Europe (England? ... nahhh ... they were too busy with Beatles and Rolling Stones!) ... but in places like America, where you do not have a contrary publishing company with different political opinions, you are not going to find a lot of knowledge and understanding for what happened ... it was very tough for me who had been looking at PARIS MATCH and LONDON TIMES, to all of a sudden see something else being written (complete polar opposite, too!) about the same event in all American newspapers!

The comment by the Marquis de Sade in that play is that only a revolution would get a result ... because "the rich will not let go of their goods without a fight!" ... and it went on and on, for many centuries. 

I wish that there was more of this around here, but "fans" don't like politics ... usually they only like their top ten and continuously vote for it!
