Music
The music of the 60s was undoubtedly the bearer of an explosion of changes in the world. Fashion, society and politics changed forever. Women's liberation and the fight against racial discrimination were two prominent features.
The most popular genres of the 60's
-Pop: The term 'pop' derives from 'popular', so it is linked to popular music. It is a rhythm that has been influenced by other musical styles such as blues, rock and roll and British folk. Pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, Latin music, rhythm and blues, or folk. However, there are essential elements that define pop, such as short to medium length songs, written in a basic format.
-Rock: originating as rock and roll in the early 1950s in the United States and which would lead to a wide range of different styles during the mid-1960s and later, particularly in that country and the United Kingdom. In the mid-1960s, rock musicians began to embrace the album as the dominant means of dissemination, expression, and consumption of recorded music, with The Beatles as the leading face of the genre's commercial development.
Most popular artists of the 60's
The Beatles: was an English rock band formed in Liverpool during the 1960s, being integrated from 1962 to its separation in 1970 by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. It is widely considered the most influential band of all time, being instrumental in the development of the countercultural movement of the 1960s and the recognition of popular music as an art form.

The band was formed in April 19623 by Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ian Stewart, along with several bassists and drummers who were never a permanent fixture until the arrival of Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts a few months later, who would complete the first band. band formation
