"Compañeros fallen in the struggle— ever onward to victory! Don't go looking for my grave For you won't find it. My hands are those that go In other's hands that are firing My voice is that which is shouting My dream, follows And know that I only die If you give up For those who die in combat l Live on in every compañero For those who die in combat Life on in every...compañero." (Poem found in pocket of student killed when U.S.-backed National Guard of El Salvador massacred a university protest) Charlie Haden + Carla Bley: The Ballad of the Fallen (ECM Records, 1983). 13 years after releasing "Liberation Music Orchestra", Charlie Haden and Carla Bley continue to lift up the voices of the oppressed and those who have given their lives resisting colonialism and fascism around the world. The album contains interpretations of powerful, Revolutionary songs from the Spanish Civil War, El Salvador, Portugal, and Chile, backed by Carla Bley's creative arrangements for a large ensemble that includes legends like Don Cherry, Paul Motian, and Dewey Redman. #charliehaden #carlabley #doncherry #freejazz #jazz #revolutionarymusic #resist #protestmusic #avantgardejazz #vinyl #musicasresistance #politicalmusic #politicaljazz #onmyturntable #cratedigging #nowspinning #nowplaying #nofoodjustwax (at Third Eye Records)
