NOW AVAILABLE ON COMPACT DISC…
The Solidarity Singers
of the New Jersey Industrial Union Council
“We
are a street chorus, not a concert choir. Our preferred venue is a picket
line. We try to lift the spirits of people engaged in struggle and help
them to carry on. Only a few of us know how to read music, but we all
know which side we’re on.”
Over the past six years, the Solidarity Singers have appeared more than a hundred times on picket lines, at rallies for labor and other progressive causes, and in occasional concert settings, including the annual May Day celebrations at the Botto House/American Labor Museum, where this CD was recorded.
The group is available for scheduling through its director, Bennet D. Zurofsky, at 973-622-8347 or 973-642-0885, or e-mail him at BZurofsky@reitpar.com.
This CD includes 19 songs in English, Spanish, and Yiddish dealing with labor issues affecting public and private sector employees, union organizing, civil rights, and current issues such as globalization, child labor, and the exploitation of workers everywhere. It concludes with a rousing rendition of “Solidarity Forever,” the anthem of the American labor movement, in its original form with all of Ralph Chaplin’s rarely-sung lyrics.
