Résumé
At the 64th annual Grammy Awards ceremony, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky evoked in a short video the silence which Ukrainians are facing in their own land, and exhorted musicians to support them in their fight against Russia. Zelensky was asking musicians to take sides. He was urging them to become storytellers in the war of information, to make music to frame narratives of the invader and the invaded. It seemed like a reasonable request, one analogous to his pleas for anti-aircraft systems, tanks, and artillery from European countries and NATO members. After all, Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in a war of aggression. Credible reports have been published about atrocities committed by Russian soldiers in Ukrainian cities. But is music the same as weapons? Can musicians stand for Ukraine without becoming propaganda tools?
