Cultura e Resistenza: Shaman (Update)
This post and its follow-ups are designed to contain culture and resistance, just as the header states. A good friend suggested that we do this, and hopefully, she will add posts as well. It is also an open invitation, open mike, for everyone, to create a post, quick and dirty, in any language of your choice and display what is in your heart. How do you culturally resist? Poetry, Music, Short Stories, Food, Photography, Movies, Speeches …
Welcome to the first post. I chose Shaman, the Russian pop singer who was recently wiped and disappeared from youtube. Luckily I found a rendition of his ‘I Am Russian’ song on Odysee and it is goosebumps time.
We also have a wonderful collection of music and poetry in the Hearty Salon, but that is what we like as we feel like it, almost like entertainment. These posts are designed to show cultural resistance! https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/topic/the-cornucopia-art-music-poems-creative-stories-myth-glories-21-6-24/
Since Shaman was disappeared from youtube, his Telegram channel exploded. He now writes about what he does with his art for Russia. Here are two pieces:
- Dear ones, Energodar has become another point on the map of my tour of Novorossiya. A few days ago, the Zaporizhzhya NPP was attacked by drones, a fire started. Serious consequences were avoided thanks to the well-coordinated work of the staff. Having learned about this, I decided to give the station employees a unique concert.
Just a few dozen meters from the reactors of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, we held a cozy “house concert”. I performed all my most famous songs without amplifiers or microphones, and hundreds of employees sang along with me. Amazing energy!
Here is the local concert: https://t.me/shaman_channel/685
This year, ZNPP @znppofficial celebrates its 40th anniversary, and the first gift for the anniversary was a concert premiere of my new hit “Soul Wide Open”.
I wish you, and all of us, trouble-free work!
Until next time!
- Hello, Russia! Hello, Mariupol! Dear ones, how I have been waiting for our next meeting! What happiness to see a reviving city. The whole country is helping to build it. An impressive sight!
Almost two years ago I performed here at the Palace of Children’s and Youthful Creativity. The roof of the building was pierced by shells, the facade was marked by artillery and machine-gun fire, the water supply was not working… And now there is a modern concert hall here, equipped with the latest technology. And all this was done by our people, Russians!
An hour before the start of the performance, the Mariupol residents filled all the free seats and aisles. They had been waiting for this meeting for a long time, and I was also looking forward to it.
I knew I would be welcomed as one of our own.
Well, I’m already at home here – in Russia!
Together with the audience we performed our favorite songs, and we had to sing “My Russia” twice – many did not hide their tears. After the concert we talked for more than an hour – hundreds of autographs, selfies and video greetings will remain a bright reminder of our meeting with the residents of the capital of the Azov region.
Thank you for these moments of happiness that I will always remember!
If you find any of his new songs, kindly post them up in the comments.
Wonderful!

Just want to mention I think this is a good idea and I’m going to post an album of seventeen songs on the theme of the fall of empire. None of them are over 3:48 and anyone can use them. Pepe Escobar inspired a few. It will be great if… Read more »
That will be great. Bear in mind, all those links will send your reply post straight into the trash so, wait for me to haul it out of there (grins).

There are only about three songs that are pretty but like children, one loves them all. I used Mr. Udio and his minions for the backup and the band. I like him cause he… Read more »
