On September 14, Anti- will release "Songs Of Resistance 1942-2018", the new, politically charged album by Marc Ribot. After the first single "Srinivas", a second preview has arrived, and it's a surprise for two reasons: it's a reinterpretation of the famous "Bella Ciao", and the one singing it is none other than his friend Tom Waits. The track comes with a video directed by Jem Cohen featuring footage from anti-Trump protests in Washington, available below the article.
Ribot commented on the experience: "I played Tom some songs [from the album], and he immediately connected with this one. Of course, he always manages to bring a particular solemnity to whatever he does - my Italian friends told me he really sounds like the voice of an old partisan!"
In the spring, Ribot released the equally militant "YRU Still Here?", while Waits' last album of new material dates back to 2011: "Bas As Me".
