There are some excellent Left wing artists, like Boycott, Holger Burner and Albino (Animal rights lyrics)
- Boycott as the soundtrack for a counterdemonstration against NeoNazis
- Holger Burner, Generation Krisis
- Albino
The thing is that I find very inspiring the attempts of this Balkan guy to try to get over the hatred and distrust between these communities, probably using their shared suffering and trying to focus on the victims and not the guilties (there were both of these in all the ethnic groups)
It's also interesting, cause I'd never really thought before about the conflicts that immigrants from the old Yugoslavia could have among them in their new countries. I remember having seen in Viena a pub called Sarajevo and another one called Beograd, but at the moment didn't think what would happen if the customers of both pubs met in the street, what sort of feelings they would feel for "the others", those that in a matter of a few months had gone from being their comrades to being their sword enemies...
On the flip side, I find terribly disgusting these videos by Albanian gangs:
- I wouldn't like to run into these hooded Albanian nationalists
- Albanian-Bosnian proud gangsters in Switzerland
- One more dose of threatening tough brainless youngsters
Well, as I can't understand their lyrics, maybe I'm confused and they talk about profound phylosophical matters, reconciliation and integration... but I would bet that's not the case... I think this "maphia and proud" attitude makes them little favor, but well, there are groups that base their lives and identity in the alleged discrimination and hatred from the others, so if they need to prompt that hatred, so be it...
On a similar note, it's sad to see that in the last years there's been an emergence of Nazi Rap (NS Rap) projects. They share the same "us against you", "us against the differents", "we're victims turned into tough guys" attitude as the above... It sounds hilarious to see these "aryan guys" playin "niggers music", but in this time where our whole civilization seems to crumble... nothing should surprise us anymore... I'm not going to put links to that crap here, so if you're feeling curious, search it yourself.
