Art is revolutionary if it literally "moves" people...

The history of Mexico's rock 'n' roll era is one brought to significance through its resident counterculture, seeded by the rise of international rock 'n' roll around the 1960's and nurtured by conflicts over political unrest in the nation's administrations. With aid from the record companies in an effort to profit from foreign markets, local-language translations of English rock 'n' roll were sought and pressed into clubs and concerts.The British invasion with groups like the Beatles reconstituted music into a trust that the rebelling youth could invest in. Because of the ensuing protests against patriarchal political authority, rock and rock idols became the adopted icons for the era of demonstration leading into the late 60's and early 70's. Having bestowed rock with the symbolic representation of the counterculture movement, the rebellion embraced these magnificent and magnified sounds in "silent" protest against the turbulent bureaucratic regime. Though the events of this rock 'n' roll era may be overlooked by the historical standards of the texts presented in schools (and otherwise), Mexico's revolutionary rock music was in effect Mexico's revolutionary war.

Revolucion! Change comes from the direction in which you move, not from where you stand. So move!
