Dust Can't Kill Me
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.
That old dust storm killed my family,
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.
That old landlord got my homestead,
But he can't get me, Lord,
And he can't get me.
That old dry spell killed my crop, boys,
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.
That old tractor got my home, boys,
But it can't get me, Lord
And it can't get me.
That old tractor run my house down,
But it can't get me down,
And it can't get me.
That old pawn shop got my furniture,
But it can't get me, Lord,
And it can't get me.
That old highway's got my relatives,
But it can't get me, Lord,
And it can't get me.
That old dust might kill my wheat, boys,
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.
I have weathered a-many a dust storm,
But it can't get me, boys,
And it can't kill me.
That old dust storm, well, it blowed my barn down,
But it can't blow me down,
And it can't blow me down.
That old wind might blow this world down,
But it can't blow me down,
It can't kill me.
That old dust storm's killed my baby,
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.
(1960)
Martirio llevó el pasado domingo 12 de abril al Auditori de Barcelona, en el marco del Ciclo de canción de autor BarnaSants, su espectáculo Al sur del tango, una propuesta que enlaza las raíces compartidas entre Argentina y España desde una interpretación que es tanto voz como gesto y emoción.
La cantante, flautista y compositora catalana Magalí Sare presenta Descasada, un trabajo entre la investigación antropológica y la libertad musical. Sare se sitúa en una escena de mujeres altamente formadas que han redefinido la canción de autor contemporánea.
La última edición del BarnaSants, la primera dirigida por Marçal Girbau, ha reducido un 40% el número de conciertos pero ha aumentado un 33% la asistencia y la venta de entradas. Girbau, que ha valorado positivamente esta 31 edición en la rueda de prensa celebrada hoy en Barcelona, ha apostado por menos fechas, más peso artístico y producciones propias con recorrido. Y una vez más se ha reivindicado la creación del Ateneu de la Cançó.
