Songs of Protest: The Vietnam Songbook  

cryptocurrency trading platform singapore Saturday, March 1st, 2003  Joe's Pub at the Public Theatre in New York played host to a unique event celebrating the protest-song tradition. Much of the repertoire was drawn from the definitive collection, The Vietnam Songbook, compiled and originally published in 1969 by Barbara Dane and Irwin Silber

The evening featured musical performances by artists who've experienced the '60's anti-War movement including Barbara Dane, Pete Seeger, Tuli Kupferberg, Bev Grant and Matt Jones along with noted Vietnam Vet/musicians Watermelon Slim, Joe Bangert, Noble I'm Manu El:Bey and younger musicians such as Thurston Moore, Jenni Muldaur, Barry Reynolds, Jim O'Rourke, Stephan Smith, Dean Wareham, David Licht, Lenny Kaye, Curtis Eller and Dan Zanes

These people came together to raise a collective voice with songs of protest, hope and redemption. They are keenly aware of the parallels between the Vietnam War and the wars that continue to be waged. This performance and the documentation of it through photos, audio, video and oral histories stand as a lesson and tool for reminding all people of the futility of war.
