Hola amigos || Hello friends

^{It is a great pleasure to meet again here, a space that I have tried to create for all tastes and thus be able to share much more with you. This is the fourth edition so to speak of this little review where we talk a little about three bands, their most successful song and their trajectory. Songs that were marked in music as legends. Rock has undoubtedly had a monumental importance in the last 80 years being the most important current and movement at the beginning of the twentieth century and will continue to be for much more.}

^{Rock is more than a genre, it's a lifestyle. I think this is a pretty well known and old phrase. This musical genre springs from a large population as an escape valve from the political and social problems that were found in the 60s style that has been increasing its popularity over the years. Bands that have made it possible for this musical genre to endure over time. I could easily say that I would have loved to be born in that golden age of rock.}

Empecemos este corto recorrido por la historia del rock en Liverpool por allá por 1960 cuando cuatro amigos, inician un proyecto para convertir su sueño en realidad

^{Let's start this short journey through the history of rock in Liverpool back in 1960 when four friends started a project to turn their dream into reality.}

^{I think without a second thought this is one of the most iconic songs in rock. The way it was created, imagined, was incredible. This song was written by Paul McCartney himself and tells the story that he was in his car as he noticed the sadness of his son John Lennon (Julian) after the separation of his parents. It was a message of hope for the boy, to remember that he was alive, that his parents were still with him, that life was not over. Even knowing his sadness, he told him in an encouraging way: ¨Come on man, I know you're not happy, but you'll be fine¨ This song is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic songs of The Beatles and how not to remember this iconic song...}

^{These young students who dreamed of being rock stars managed to create a band that changed the rock culture in the 60's being the interpreters of a new generation, a band that revolutionized the musical world. A name that will remain engraved and remembered as a legend.}

^{And no, they don't sit down because the rock anthems are still playing. This one that we will remember now is another one that reached the whole planet becoming an immediate classic. This Swedish band was formed in 1972 singing songs of The Beatles in a square in France. This song that we will remember also has a very important meaning for music, for rock, for the world. The great amount of money that produced this hit of the quartet Abba was donated by the same authors to UNICEF, so that thousands of children in Africa did not die of hunger. I am talking about Chiquitita, the great hit of this Swedish band. This song, this work of art toured the entire planet and even today, it is still listened to as much or more than yesterday.}

^{Abba was an important band in the expansion of Europop, opening opportunities for other European artists who were performing at the time. But Abba's fame was so great, that it is one of the reasons setting aside their music, which led them to become part of rock history.}

^{Throughout history, rock has evolved and, as I said before, kept its roots. In the early 90s the new youth had a lot to choose from, but even so, rock was still filling stadiums and important stages in the music scene.}

^{Now we will talk about another band that put their name in the rock hall of fame, Metallica. One of the most innovative and influential bands in history. With cutting riffs, accelerated percussion and a superb vocal performance, led this band to be considered the kings of thrash metal getting a large legion of followers. This American band has won countless awards for their music, for their work. A personal anecdote was that the first time I listened to this band, it was a cassette and if I remember correctly, I think it was their first production. It was something that, for the time, was undoubtedly innovative in everything they were doing. If there are songs that become anthems, I think there are bands that become flags, an important symbol of history and I think Matallica has and has earned that right. It has been difficult for me to select the song to remember, there are many and all rock classics. So I hope you don't mind the selection taken.}

^{I really enjoyed remembering these bands and songs with you. I hope you also enjoyed this little walk through the musical past that surrounds us. And here I hang again that phrase that reflects a lot the feelings that we find because simply to remember,
is to live.}
