Songs of Resistance - 1942-2018

"Every movement which has ever won anything has had songs" says Marc Ribot.

With 'Songs of Resistance 1948 - 2018', Ribot (one of the world's most accomplished and acclaimed guitar players) set out to assemble a set of songs that spoke to this political moment with appropriate ambition, passion, and fury.

The eleven songs on the record are drawn from the World War II anti-Fascist Italian partisans, the U. S. civil rights movement and Mexican protest ballads, as well as original compositions, and feature a wide range of guest vocalists, including Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Meshell Ndegeocello, Justin Vivian Bond, Fay Victor, Sam Amidon and Ohene Cornelius.
