“We are soldiers/in the army/we have to fight/we also have to cry”, says one of the Civil Rights lyrics (performed by vocalist Fay Victor on the Ribot-directed, multi-artist album “Songs Of Resistance” [2018, Anti-]). We also have to…laugh, rant, party…and improvise.Songs of Resistance in duo (Marc Ribot, joined by multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily) use radical rearrangements of some of the material from the 2018 Anti- release as a jumping off point plus new material, improvisation and…whatever else reaps urgency.
Songs of Resistance Duo are in it for the long haul…not “protest song” per se…but an approach to the history of resistance songs that resists the cliched dysfunction of our present, and performs the freedom we demand from the future.
