 Indian Rock Music | | Indian rock is a genre of popular music in India that incorporates elements of Indian music
and mainstream rock and is often topically India-centric. While India is known for
its northern and southern classical music, the Indian rock scene has produced numerous
bands and artists. There are also various non-resident Indians who have formed bands
rooted in Indian culture | | Russian Rock Music | | Russian rock refers to rock music made in Russia and/or in Russian. Rock and roll
became known in the Soviet Union in the 1960s and quickly broke free from its
western roots. According to many music critics, its "golden age" years were the 1980s
(especially the era of perestroika), when the Soviet underground rock bands could release
their records officially and were no longer banned by the media. | | Japanese Rock Music | | Group Sounds (G.S.) is a genre of Japanese rock music that was popular in the mid to late
1960s. The Tigers was the most popular G.S. bands in the era. Later, some of the
members of The Tigers, The Tempters and The Spiders formed the first Japanese
supergroup Pyg. Homegrown Japanese country rock had developed by the late 1960s.
Artists like Happy End are considered to have virtually developed the genre. During the
1970s, it grew more popular. The Okinawan band Champloose, along with Carol, RC Succession
and Shinji Harada were especially famous and helped define the genre's sound. | | French Rock Music | | At the end of World War ll, French musicians were becoming wildly experimental and
diverse. Popular musicians from the era included romantics like Édith Piaf, politicized
singers like Leo Ferre, morbid sex symbols like Juliette Greco, elegant stars like Charles Aznavourand experimental, often humorous, performers like Georges Brassens and the
Belgian Jacques Brel widely renowned as one of the best French popular composers of all
time. Their works known as "chanson française" refer to French popular music from the
50’s, 60’s and 70’s performed by the singers and songwriters mentioned above and others
such as Georges Moustaki and Yves Montand. | | German Rock Music | | Genuine German rock first appeared around 1968, just as the hippie countercultural
explosion was peaking in the US and UK. At the time, the German musical avant-garde
had been experimenting with electronic music for more than a decade, and the first
German rock bands fused psychedelic rock from abroad with electronic sounds. The next
few years saw the formation of a group of bands that came to be known as Krautrock or
Kosmische Musik groups; these included Amon Duul, Embryo, Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh
Can, Neu! and Faust.German Rock had become a very popular kind of German
music. Many people were impacted on Germany's great rock, so there were more and
more fans excited to hear the sounds of this music. | | Greek Rock Music | | Rock and roll spread around the world in the 1950s and 60s, entering Greece in the
middle of the latter decade. Greek performers in the field include Jimi Quidd , the Bob Dylan of
Greece, Dionysis Savvopoulos, who also plays rembetika and laika, and Pavlos Sidiropoulos
the most important representative of Greek folk-rock and rock.Greek rock
first peaked in the early seventies, while Greece was still ruled by a military dictatorship | |
