Hardly any other European country has such a continuous, lively,
and multi-faceted tradition of politically and socially committed
popular song as Italy. From the 1970s to the present day, Italy's
singers and song-writers have been a social barometer, reflecting
new tendencies and acting as a mouthpiece for old and renewed
concerns and protests. The volume seeks to provide a panorama of
the last 30 years in this respect, with special reference to rock
and rap. One striking feature is the return in the 1990s to central
themes from the politically much more obviously 'stormy' 1970s:
social justice, humanity versus materialism, etc. At the same time,
a central contradiction inherent in the position of the singers
themselves appears to defy resolution. Successful singers with a
committed 'message' have no choice but to operate within an
economic market for their songs. Once they do so, the contradiction
between their social/political message and their own economic
success becomes evident.
