Protest Music

Ang musika ay isang mainam na medium para iparating ang nagkakaisang damdamin at mithiin ng sambayanan.

Sa panahong laganap ang kahirapan at kawalan ng trabaho, sa panahong ang injustice at human rights abuses ay lumulubha, sa kalagayang ang sambayanan ay walang pag-asang nakikita sa mga nanunungkulan, may mga kantang pwedeng mag-represent ng kanilang collective na hinaing.



Isa siguro ang famous song ni Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman:


Talking Bout A Revolution

Don't you know 
They're talkin' bout a revolution 
It sounds like a whisper 
Don't you know 
They're talkin' about a revolution 
It sounds like a whisper 
While they're standing in the welfare lines 
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation 
Wasting time in the unemployment lines 
Sitting around waiting for a promotion 
Poor people gonna rise up 
And get their share 
Poor people gonna rise up 
And take what's theirs 
Don't you know 
You better run, run, run 
Oh I said you better 
Run, run, run 
Finally the tables are starting to turn 
Talkin' bout a revolution
