Here we come back. While Lucio Corsi rides streaming, he is certified gold disc, and sails towards a sold out tour and the Eurovision, many have rediscovered the four previous albums of the singer -songwriter today, waiting for the fifth – I wanted to be a tough – which will be released tomorrow March 21st. In particular Rasid Nikolic ROM The Puppet and activist ROMlistening to Bay swing2015 single of courses played and sung also on each stage of the Baustelle, years ago. The song speaks of a child who, after a tour of death on a carousel, disappears and make imaginative assumptions about his end. Rasid underlines this point:
There are those who say, “the Martians took it to be able to study it”,
There are those who say “the gypsies took it and they brought it to a field outside Rome”,
There are those who say, “they took the trees hidden it in the hair”
Nikolic, on his Instagram profile, publicly explained his appeal to courses publicly in a video to change the song, having no answers from the singer -songwriter: “The word” gypsy “is a derogatory that means” slave “” and the “stereotype according to which the Roma would steal the children is unfounded”, and is “a prejudice that has had and continues to have discriminatory and violent consequences on our community”.
Art is not censor, never
We are in one of those cases where a part of the world invokes the Cancel Culturethat is, the boycott of artists who are judged amplifiers of negative messages through their work (see the case of Sexist texts by Tony Effeto say) or through their actions (see the case of Woody Allenabove all). While in the second case it is useful to read yourself What Nick Cave said why one of his favorite artists is Kanye Westso much so that he wanted to his song I am a god For his funeral, let’s look at the first case. Is Nikolic right? No. Not only because it is evident that the song of courses is citing “phrases that people say” including the stereotype on the Roma, but more generally because it is a song, of an art form and is not written anywhere that art must be inclusive, tolerant, “politically correct”. That is, it can be, but also not. The freedom of the listener, in the case of the songs, is not given by the censorship but by the simple not listening, skip the track, go on. And be careful: it is worth both for the non -“correct” songs by De André, often mentioned in these cases, which speak of dwarves and prostitutes, but also of gypsies, we take Sally1978: My mother told me you don’t have to play/ with the gypsies in the woods, both for those like Nice bitch of Masini o Luca was gay of Povia.
What teaches us this story?
Having made this necessary premise, what teaches us this story? If we were the managers of Lucio Corsi, we would establish a bottle. Because, even if we understand and respect the choice not to respond to Nikolic’s lawsuit – moreover in our interview he had said it, citing the quarry to which we referred: “I think in the songs, as Nick Cave says, we should speak with the terms of the soul and not of politics” – it is undeniable that Lucio Corsi is having a crazy success, and attracts many attentions, even those who would not like to, do you care? As we explained with that cover there is a great misunderstanding on courses, stereotyped in turn as “elf”, an artist who speaks only for childhood characters or fairytale scenarios: “Also I when I was a child I followed Topo Gigio, Dodo, the blue tree and I also felt represented by that world of fairy tales», Nikolic writes in his appeal. “I would like you to tell fairy tales and continue to do so, but they also apply to us, where we do not listen to them and we don’t feel injured.”
If we were Rasid Nikolic, however, we would be very sad. Because it is enough to read the violent and racist comments that overwhelmed him on Instagram after the appeal, to say that not only the stereotypes on the Roma are alive and well, but the racism that must undergo every day is disturbing. It seems that a cap has skipped: what was unspeakable until recently is now lawful. And for this, more than giving the old songs to blame, it happens for other reasons: because there are governments that legitimize racism giving the wrong example, see the list of inclusive words canceled by the Trump administration in official documents, or the choice not to read the White House site more in Spanish, or the dismantling of the commissions on Diversity Equity Inclusion, which had to promote ethnic and genre minorities. Politicians and institutions are certainly asked for a respectful, correct, inclusive language, because the state is of all and they all represent us. But forget the artists, more or less good.
