At Human Rights Radio

In every corner of the world, where voices are silenced, music has the power to speak.we believe that songs are more than melodies—they are calls for justice, cries for freedom, and anthems of resilience. Through music, we amplify the stories that matter, raise awareness for human rights, and unite people in a shared quest for change. Let the voices of the unheard become the soundtrack of hope, as we turn up the volume on human dignity.

Our Work Menu:

At Human Rights Radio, we raise awareness of global human rights issues by releasing weekly songs that highlight these challenges, provide a platform for individuals to share their stories and music, offer educational resources to deepen understanding, and collaborate with activists, artists, and organizations to drive meaningful change

Imuhar (Freemen) By Bombino

“Bombino is an internationally acclaimed Tuareg guitarist and singer-songwriter from Agadez, Niger. His music frequently addresses Tuareg geopolitical concerns and is sung in the Tuareg language of Tamasheq.” I have included his song Imuhar (Freemen). Below is the English translation. “What good is it to have Freemen who sleep in this world of sufferring Wake up, my people Straighten up, my people Confront the difficulties of your current situation A long road awaits you What good is it to have Freemen who sleep in this world of suffering Freemen suffering shows us that times have changed.”

Sign O' the Times By Prince

I grew up in Minnesota, the hometown of two rather well known musicians – Prince and Bob Dylan. Dylan is known more for the content of his music, while Prince often indcluded social commentary about inequalities in our society. This week, I include Prince’s Sign O’The Times

Treat the Youths Right By Jimmy Cliff

This week Jimmy Cliff played a concert in Geneva. Many of his songs touch our economic rights related issues. In “Treat the Youths Right”, he discussed the importance of youth employment. “Treat the youths rights. Instead of putting us a fight. Treat the youths right. Or you”ll been playin’ with dynamite. When you go and look for a job. There is someone giving you a fight”

Bulls on Parade By Rage Against the Machine

During the Global Meeting, the organiyers used an elevator version of a fairly aggresive economic rights anthem to end and to start meetings. “Bulls on Parade” is a song released by American rap metal band Rage Against the Machine in 1996, and can be found on their 2nd album, Evil Empire. I asked if the person who chose the melody knew where it came from and whether it was intentional. I was told it was simply taken off a free music site. One commentators indicates: “The song is in my opinion about “Crony Capitalism” aka corporate infiltration into government. Bulls on parade=bull market, destruction of the library = through advertising driven towards the endless pursuit of higher and higher profits we’ve been robbed of our own intelligence.” Below is a part of the lyrics: “Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes, I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used ot be a library Line up to tha mind cemetry now what we don’t know keeps tha contracts alive an movin’ They don’t gotta burn tha books they just remove’em while arms warehouses fill as yuick as tha cells. Rally round tha family, pockets full of shels” Here is the song , so you can decide if it was the origin for the music used as the motivational interlude to end and start sessions at our Global Meeting.

Videos of Columbian team By Office in Colombia

This week, I will feature two videos from our team in Colombia. I am sorry they are in Spanish. The videos discuss two examples of how the Office in Colombia works on ESCR. They are a bit long, but give a good deal of cotnext as to how the work started and what impact it has had.

Hypocrisia By Ruben Blades

The second is a song from 2009 from Ruben Blades. Ruben seemed to be feeling that the world was not going in the right direction back in 2009. I am not sure how Professor Allot would analyse the song…. The song is in Spanish, but here is the translation. Hypocrisy Society disintegrates. Each family at the brink of war. Corruption and bad government make the city an inferno. Screams and accusations, lies and treachery, destroy reason itself. Indifference is bron, conscience is annulled, and there’s no ideal that will not dissappear. And everyone swears that they just don’t understand because all their dreams are turned to shit. And they talk to me about the past in the present, blaming other for the problem of our common hypocrisy.
