The beginning

This is where we start our history, Rock and Roll, Blues and R&B already exist.

Categuy05 : The term Rock and Roll was first coined by disc jockey Alan Freed in 1951.


Our Rock music history begins at the end of the 1950's, the ingredients are available to bring Rock music alive. The fathers, such as Bo Diddley, James Brown, Muddy Waters, BB King, Chuck Berry, Otis Reding have given the inspiration to their children to be. It's a matter of days before the whole thing explodes. Both sides of the Atlantic, music is about to change radically.

Microphones, electric guitars, keyboards and amplifiers have improved in quality allowing better stage performances. Recording technics are changing rapidly.
