Brit Rock en la UC

Comuneros culpables, mañana tengo una charla a las 10 de la mañana en el Aula Magna del Campus San Joaquín Universidad Católica y sería la primera que dicto en Inglés -que se escuche: wwwoowww!!! Obviamente esto viene a propósito de la buena experiencia que tuvimos en las charlas del I. Británico de Cultura. Ya que los acabo de delinear les entrego mis "Key Points", los tres temas a desarrollar en la actividad de mañana, en torno a los cuales girará la charla. Obvio que es el tema es Historia del Rock Británico...

Enjoy!

1.British bands such as the Rolling Stones, the Animals and the Yardbirds capitalized on black music in a way that American bands did not seem capable of doing. It was easier to sing like blacks in Britain than in the segregated USA -nonetheless, no white blues band of the time was fronted by a black singer.

2.Britain was not only the Beatles. In fact, the Beatles were Mis-Representing the British scene. The three great British bands of 1964 were rather the Kinks, the Animals and the Rolling Stones. And the Next generation was going to be lead by The Who. Each of them (not exactly The Beatles) defined a new style, that, decades later, still stands on its own.

3.All of them, british bands changed the way rock'n'roll was played. At the same time, the American folk-singers were changing the way rock'n'roll was "consumed". The fusion of music and politics that occurred in the early 1960s had lasting effects on the very nature and purpose of rock music. Rock music became a primary vehicle for expressing dissent within the Establishment, and therefore one of the most relevant aspects of the "counterculture".Even when the political element was not predominant, rock music came to adopt a stance that was "countercultural" in nature. Rock'n'roll had been discriminated against. Protest folk-singers had been discriminated against. There was a tradition that made rock music an "underground" phenomenon by nature.
