Summary

• "Cinquanta anni di musica americana raccolta sul campo, da New York alla California, dal Kentucky all'Oklahoma, cominciando con le voci dei manifestanti contro Nixon nel 1969 e finendo con quelle dei ragazzi che scendono in piazza contro l'uso indiscriminato delle armi e le stragi nelle scuole, passando per i minatori in sciopero in Virginia e gli studenti nativi americani che rivendicano terra e scuola in Colorado. Voci famose come Barbara Dane e voci memorabili e sconosciute come Becky Ruth Brae, generi musicali diversi, dalla ballata narrativa al blues, dal bluegrass alle molteplici forme del gospel. All'insegna di una resistenza tenace e pronta a rinnovarsi in forme sempre diverse: We Shall Not Be Moved, non ci sposteremo, non cederemo, come un albero piantato sulla riva del fiume. Tutto in quattro CD accompagnati da un libro che racconta in presa diretta le storie della ricerca -gli incontri e i contesti- e le storie delle canzoni e di chi le canta, esplorando retroterra e ramificazioni."--Back cover.
• "Fifty years of American music collected from the field, from New York to California, from Kentucky to Oklahoma, beginning with the protests against Nixon in 1969 through the protests of today: young people protesting against the indiscriminate use of weapons and massacres in schools, striking miners in Virginia and Native American students fighting for land and schools in Colorado. Includes famous voices like Barbara Dane and memorable and unknown voices like Becky Ruth Brae, and different musical genres, from narrative ballads to blues, from bluegrass to the many forms of gospel. Shows the tenacious resistance that renews itself in ever-changing forms: We Shall Not Be Moved, we will not move, we will not give up, like a tree planted on the river bank. Four CDs are accompanied by a book that tells the stories of the research - the encounters and the contexts - and the stories of the songs and of those who sing them, exploring the background and ramifications."--Translation of back cover.
