“Every movement which has ever won anything has had songs,” says <a href="spotify:artist:7jAeRfT8LYCxydM2Y1Egvn" data-name="Marc Ribot">Marc Ribot</a>.
With his new album 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 <a href="spotify:artist:7x83XhcMbOTl1UdYsPTuZM" data-name="Tom Waits">Tom Waits</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2UBTfUoLI07iRqGeUrwhZh" data-name="Steve Earle">Steve Earle</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0uZRjholJ0fVC2J9EvnYnj" data-name="Meshell Ndegeocello">Meshell Ndegeocello</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7BeTLKIHLguUVyIrFP92jY" data-name="Justin Vivian Bond">Justin Vivian Bond</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1accqTJkw5p0YV3jodn3qr" data-name="Fay Victor">Fay Victor</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6TTJ0xLPPNDyv4bXyukzU4" data-name="Sam Amidon">Sam Amidon</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4ITUxz1uhvKAmMzi7iZqPv" data-name="Ohene Cornelius">Ohene Cornelius</a>.
Ribot began working on the project at the end of 2016, responding not just to the American elections, but to the political trends he was seeing around the world. “I am alarmed by Trump and the movement he’s part of,” he says. “I’ve spent a good chunk of my life running around the world on tour—I’m kind of an accidental internationalist—and I see that he’s not an isolated phenomenon. And if we don’t deal with what is going on, it is going to deal with us.”
