Continuing my lifelong obsession with musicians who died before I ever even listened to them (Kurt Cobain being the very first one), I have recently gotten obsessed with linguist/lawyer/movie star/activist Paul Robeson (and those are only a partial list of his magnificent credentials)
I originally found him because I became mildly obsessed with Go Down Moses and wanted to find alternative renditions:
Isn’t he stunning? His timbre, his gravitas, his oration!
I think the best example of who Robeson was comes from how he altered the words of his most famous song over years of performing on stage to better fit his ideals. Here’s his original performance of Old Man River from Showboat.
And here are the lyrics he altered over the years to better fit his activism:
"Dere's an ol' man called de Mississippi, / Dat's de ol' man that I'd like to be..." —>There's an ol' man called the Mississippi, / That's the ol' man I don't like to be"..."
"Tote that barge! / Lift that bale! / Git a little drunk, / An' you land in jail..." —>"Tote that barge and lift dat bale!/ You show a little grit / And you lands in jail.."
"Ah gits weary / An' sick of tryin'; / Ah'm tired of livin' / An skeered of dyin', / But Ol' Man River, / He jes' keeps rolling along!" —> "But I keeps laffin'/ Instead of cryin' / I must keep fightin'; / Until I'm dyin', / And Ol' Man River, / He'll just keep rollin' along!"
((Pasted directly from Wikipedia as my poor fingers can only type so much))
Below the cut is my fervent Paul Robeson bio
Robeson was born in 1898, the son of a freed slave who became a pastor, his surname that of the Scottish settlers who owned the plantation his family had been subjugated on for generations. The pastor’s influence is something you can hear in his speech and song.
He was a brilliant man: he won a scholarship to college; was a professional American Football star (which ended because of a racist beating); a qualified lawyer (which ended because of racial discrimination); a Hollywood star (ended because he realised his only roles denigrated his people); a world famous singer; a world traveller and an activist, not only using that lawyerly eloquence to advocate for African American rights but also for the oppressed around the world.
He came to live in Britain in the 1920’s and was the first black man in a century to play Othello on a London stage - a role he feared playing in the USA as he believed there was a real possibility the white audience members would beat him for embracing a white woman on stage. In London he had an affair with the greatest theatre actress of the day, Peggy Ashcroft, causing his wife to divorce him.
Still, he faced discrimination in London and chose not to remain here permanently. Later in his life he went to Broadway to reprise his role as Othello, winning acclaim.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise he supported communism; he once said that the Soviet Union was the first place he felt seen as a man before his race. He supported the Republican cause in the Spanish civil war against Fascist dictator Franco, supported the Chinese victims of the Nanjing massacre, performing what would go on to become the Chinese national anthem. He supported the Welsh and Scottish mining communities, seeing the impoverishment they faced another facet of worldwide discrimination, and became beloved with them in turn.
He could have remained in Europe, but he chose to return to the USA and plunge back into that intense discrimination to use his stardom as a platform for activism. For his outspoken support of communist ideals he was persecuted in the McCarthy era, having his passport confiscated and his entire career neutered.
He died in 1976.
Seriously, go and listen to him singing, go listen to his interviews, he’s the sort of man our world is worse off for losing. Robeson is the original Woke; there’s an interview with him in on an Australian TV show where, laughing with the hosts, he skewers them while chatting about his love for Africa and his pride as an African American: “You Europeans are more advanced (than Africa) because you came in and stole everything from the people who lived here! The rest of us have to work to catch up with you :)”

SORE MENUJU SENJA BERSAMA JANJI JIWA
Singkat cerita...
Ditengah bincang-bincang kami di WhatsApp bersama Si Mba sebut saja dia Ririn . Tetiba ada pesan untuk jangan beranjak "tidur" dari dia (maaf memang kebiasaan gitu suka ketiduran pas chatting). Seketika berpikir ada apa? Oh mungkin dia mau curhat, karna memang konteks bincang kami sebelumnya cukup berat sih. Aku pikir seperti itu. Ku tanyalah emang si mba mau kemana? Eh dianya ga bales dong. Kukira dia masih kerja, maklum karena masih suasana WFH (Work From Home).
Tiba-tiba ada nada dering panggilan masuk. Nomornya tidak kukenal alias nomor baru. Lanjutlah di penelfon nanyain posisi aku dimana. Auto kaget dan waspada ya. Maklumlah zamannya begini tidak sedikit orang iseng. Ku tanya balik dia siapa. Eh ternyata dia si bapak driver ojol. Kenapa ni bapak tiba-tiba telfon aku, padahal ga order sesuatu. Begini katanya " mbak Dewi dimana, say dari Gojek mbak mau nganter pesanan" seketika itu pula aku inget, oh ya ini pasti kerjaan si mba yang tiba-tiba orderin minuman kekinian itu (red: janji jiwa).
Memang sih sebelumnya si mba mau orderin itu tp waktunya ga pas, outletnya udah tutup (aturan ditengah pandemi tutup jam 19.00) akhirnya ga kesampaian deh. But today si mba ga bilang apa-apa, langsung aja tuh order. Untungnya ngga lagi shaum syawal hehe. Ini mah ceritanya jadi silaturohmi online. Suguhannya juga DO (Delivery Order)
Oh ya si mba ini posisi ada di Bogor ya. Jaauh banget di sono. Aku tahu mba pengen banget pulkam alias pulang kampung. Tapi kondisi ga memungkinkan. Sabar ya menahan rindunya. Semua indah pada waktunya. Baik-baik, sehat-sehat disana. Semoga cepat berlalu ya pandemi ini supaya bisa pulang dan ketemu.
Si mba adalah salah satu temen terterter deh pokoknya. Dia tau segala tentang aku, kami berjuang untuk Hal yang sama. Semoga mba dimudahkan ya segala hajatnya. Tak do'ain supaya cepet ketemu calon imam. Aamiin
Thanks a bunch my beloved sister ❤️
Terima kasih Gojek Dan Janji Jiwa. Jarak bukan masalah untuk saling berbagi kasih 💞
