Boom Boom Bam Bam!! Art and brilliance in rock songs – Javier Parrilla Romero

Description

With inspiration and ingenuity, the work of many musicians and artists of that time managed to transform that idea into a more contemporary one that sees popular music as the full manifestation of art. This would conform not only to the sentiments of fans and specialists, but also to those of a world that increasingly needs to combine beauty and freedom to reconstruct the imprecise meaning of its action. Names like The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan, whose importance in his lyrics has been recognized with the Nobel Prize for Literature, have expanded the Western artistic canon to include those other ways of seeing and explaining life that accompany works of popular music. Without forgetting that the artistic significance of popular music has been enhanced by the creative work that artists, illustrators, photographers, and designers have invested in record covers, especially those released on vinyl.

With new technologies applicable to the creation, recording, and reproduction of sound, the boundaries of the musical experience expand for both the creative spirit and the simple listener. Thus, this book is completed in its second part with a broad selection of artists and songs, reflected in references to famous albums. This is a further incentive for the reader to go directly to the referenced music and enjoy the privileged moment when art emerges in its dual forms of music and poetry.
