Like a number of people around the world here on Feb. 11th 2011, I’ve been absolutely amazed at the events in Egypt, where the people have risen up and caused a 30 year dictator to resign making an extraordinary move towards a truly free and democratic society in the Arab world. The future is as always unwritten, but today at least there is an astonishing celebration in Egypt and in many other places in the world. The following tracks are just a few that have been in my mind over the past 18 days and especially on this one, what I truly hope is Egypt’s “Freedom Day”…
Arabian Knightz – Rebel
Arrested Development – Revolution
Phil Ochs – The Ringing of Revolution
Richie Havens – Freedom
Max Roach – Freedom Day
