Alpha Blondy (born January 1, 1953) is an Ivorian reggae singer. He was born Seydou Kone in Dimbokro, Ivory Coast. He sings mainly in his native language of Dioula, in French and English, and sometimes in Arabic or Hebrew. His lyrics convey serious political attitudes and a sense of humor.
His parents then sent him to study English in Monrovia in the neighboring country of Liberia in 1973. He spent thirteen months there and then moved to the United States of America to improve his English.
In New York he met Rastafarians for the first time, and was also able to see concerts by Jamaican artists such as Burning Spear.This was the beginning of his real career as a singer, and he began to use the name 'Alpha Blondy'. After various TV shows for Kassi, Blondy recorded his first solo album in 1982, entitled 'Jah Glory'. This album was to have enormous success and would become later a symbol of resistance because of the song 'Brigadier Sabari', where Alpha criticized the harassment by the police.
Soon the fame of Alpha Blondy spread to Europe.
In 1985, Alpha went into the studio to record 'Apartheid is Nazism'.This album was more politically committed than ever.It is a call for the end of Apartheid and the freedom for all.

Ρε Κώστα, βγάλε τη φωτογραφία του παιδιού ρε φίλε, σε ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ ΠΑΡΑ ΠΑΡΑ ΠΟΛΥ. Δεν το αντέχω να το βλέπω, με τσακίζει, βάλε κάτι άλλο όχι αυτό όμως. Με καταλαβαίνεις ???
ReplyDeleteΣΕ ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ!!!!!!
Ευχαριστώ που μου κανες το χατήρι. Πραγματικά όταν το 'δα το πρωί στη δουλειά με πήρανε τα ζουμιά. Δε θέλει και πολύ αν κάνεις το παραλληλισμό με το δικό σου παιδί.
ReplyDeleteΕντωμεταξύ, περάσαμε κι εμείς ντράβαλα στη δουλειά. 35 έγιναν ΧΟΥ, αλλά γλιτώσαμε οι υπόλοιποι. Κανένας δεν ξέρει για πόσο. Και το λέω αυτό γιατί καταλαβαίνω "κάπως" το Θέιο και το τι πέρναγε τόσο καιρό αλλά και σε τι λούκει μπαίνει τώρα.
Καλέ μου Θείε για άλλη μια φορά δύναμη αλλά και μυαλό. Τώρα θέλει πολύ στροφάρισμα, γιατί αν δεν στροφάρουμε εμείς δεν περιμένουμε από κανέναν.
Αν κατέβεις καμιά Αθήνα πείτε καμιά κουβέντα να βρεθούμε.
Για όποιον κατεβάσει αυτό το αλμπουμάκι : Το Ν0 7 τα σπάει !!! Ο συναισθηματισμός που παίζει σ΄αυτό το κομμάτι με έχει κάνει να βάλω τα κλάμματα ακούγοντάς το και δεν ντρέπομαι καθόλου γι΄αυτό !
ReplyDelete@Slartibartfast: Δύναμη υπάρχει, ελπίζω και μυαλό.Υπάρχει θέμα με την δουλειά μας, πάμε για απόλυση εγώ μετά από 11 χρόνια.Τουλάχιστον κάνω "διακοπές" μετά από δεν ξέρω πόσα χρόνια.Η επαρχία κρατάει ακόμα σε σχέση με την Αθήνα, και το καλό είναι ότι μας έχουν κάνει να επαναπροσδιορίσουμε έννοιες όπως αγάπη, κατανόηση, δόσιμο, μοίρασμα, ενότητα, προσφορά.
ReplyDeleteΘα χαρώ πολύ να σας γνωρίσω.Μόλις βρω λεφτά, έρχομαι...
Many thanks for this one!
