Not even American but Battle Hymn of the Republic and Blood on the Risers go so fucking hard

John Brown song is a staple of Czech elementary school music class (among a bunch of other translated country songs)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ4uvkEx6Kw
>>64476196neat, is there some historical connection, or just for the tune itself?
>>64476196I too would like to know more
>>64476259>>64476298During the 70's country became a popular music genre and a whole lot of American songs got covered and/or translated. A lot of them ended up in camp fire songbooks because they are easy and you only need a guitar to play them which is how they got into elementary school music classes too.Just Before the Battle, Motherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pA98QjTs6U Jim Bridgerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsvfFBUEmXUGhost riders in the skyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7cvAqGYJ0sThe Ballad of Ira Hayeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA9skWIonj8
>>64476347but i thought american stuff like jeans were cracked down upon in the ussr puppet states?
>>64476777NTA but the Czech and Magyar puppets were ordered by Moscow to loosen up after the '68 and '56 fiascos, so I would imagine that Burgermusic became somewhat less frowned upon, particularly the folksy type that could be passed off as just normal prole music. Turns out the entire Cold War was Russians learning that Russians are the only Europeans who enjoy getting their faces stomped every day.
>>64476196kino that they stell say johnbrowne (ya). It's sitll a song about john brown
>>64476347Not so much Country, but Folk. There was a worldwide resurgence of it around that time, it started in England in the late 1960's.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f2bXZ1aSQs

>>64475896TBHOTR should be the american anthem imo.
>>64476983It was the opposite. Czech regime started to loosen up during the 60's to the point when in 67 censorship was lifted, economy was partially liberalized and oriented more on consumer goods, but Ziggers didn't like that and invaded in 68 and that's when the oppression got turned to 11.>>64476777Jeans were imported in limited numbers and only sold in special stores but were available.
>>64475896It's the accompanying flues and drums, the Irish folk song the Foggy Dew hits just as hard.
>>64475896https://youtu.be/QqQZD0aMVZUThe fast tempo version is the best rendition imo
Sorry guys, but the song reminded me to start my Christmas shopping.https://youtu.be/j5SlIjECKxwhttps://youtu.be/SLED1asxMbYhttps://youtu.be/Bnx85z78O2wOh and there is this pre-war spoof too:https://youtu.be/Ac1OezBEbPk
>>64476983Russians are not european, they were a dumping ground for europe. Different, still asian.
>>64477300commies can get behind folk
>>64476777Permissible western things were always tied to economically low and low-middle income and blue collar. Any music of struggles whether political or social, that kind of thing was not ok but considered understandable in socialist context.Also technical toys like erector sets were desired and allowed.
>>64480156Yeah, the sovs loved everything associated with John Brown. He was their brother in violent revolution and class struggle on behalf of the serfs by their way of thinking.

>>64475896>lets die to free blacks who don't give a shit about usCucked song. Blood Upon the Risers is good, however. Better than the original.
>>64476777>>64476983Commies liked any American culture that gave off the image of America as a nation of average people being dominated and impoverished by evil oligarchs.
