Comprising music and spoken word in French, English and Swedish, "Sudden Move" salutes men like anarchist Ali Khalid Abdullah, whose gripping words of protest, "I Charge America", are read by activists in two languages. His jail cell lyric writing of "In The Night" is arranged and performed by US exile Aisha, the Sudden Move producer. He mailed the words to Sweden by prison letter to Aisha also a persecuted artist, and the resulting composition captures a prisoner's anguish and human longing for intimacy.

Date: 1/1/1975Call Number: CD 202Format: CDProducers: Folkways FH 5527Collection: Compact discs and videos representing digitized copies of analog tapes
Ossie Davis does a wonderful job of capturing the feel of escaped slave and master orator, Frederick Douglass' legendary speech. Originally delivered in Rochester NY July 5th 1852, Frederick leads the audience with an emotional narrative beginning with his admiration for the brave American patriots of 1776 and ends up in a righteous fury condemning America, its politicians, and the hypocritical and insane institution of slavery. Fantastic.
