Banda Zingara and the State of Italy

Live Music and Studio Interview with two Exiles

text and mp3 25mins 128kbps Click Here to Listen

Lara and Massimo of Banda Zingara speak about the perilous state of Italy and global social problems - as well as the myriad reasons for craic to be had.

A General Election, is due to take place in Italy on April 9th. Their are two possible governments on offer - a continuatiopn of the current right-wing administration led by the Jesus Christ of politics, Silvio Berlusconi, and a broad coalition of the "Left" led by Romano Prodi (5% ahead in opinion polls").

Should Berlusconi lose, he can expect to have rescinded, his self-awarded immunity against prosecution for corruption.

Berlusconi has used his media-ownership and influence to obtain geust appearances on all sorts of shows in the run-up to the election, so it ought to be a surprise if the OECD describe the elections as free and fair.

Berlusconi recently recruited the services of Bono (the other Jesus Christ) to back his bid for power, but Bono didn't know anything about it and felt used by the whole experience.

Berlusconi astounded many in October last year, when he said that he was always against, the war in Iraq, despite having sent 3,000 troops there to help - doublethink writ large.

ok i do illustrations. I fill up the gallery with images. not all of them. many are of interesting people protesting in your country, but chances are if you see something which isn't a local protest, I uploaded it. Mr B. is going to push John Paul 2 off the gallery page. Thats cyber-psychology. you can watch the gallery page every day here :- http://indymedia.ie/gallery there you see the images uploaded with articles or appended as comments to articles already published. illustrations are a useful way of communicating. Internet is not like the newspaper you buy on the street or get shoved at you free by some young precarious worker whose misery has been compounded with an obligatory baseball hat, umbrella and smile. Internet works best with short texts and lots of links &/ sources (for those with a veneer of academia). We need photos of actions and protests as they happen, it may seem fun to upload images of a great big day out two weeks after it happened, but its slipped off the relevancy scale by then. One or two powerful photos of a protest published in real time are worth a hundred takes on a "historic riot". & we need "other images" too, they are useful for making non sequitur points, that is to say honing an unspoken point, as well as demarking the collective psycho-geography of our common terms of cultural reference.

The man in the photo is unfit to rule. Find an Italian - tell them to vote against him.
