Rockeras

They broke cliches, yes. Women like Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, and Patti Smith had to overcome many obstacles to get on a stage and play music with a rock-and-roll attitude. It was also their work and their talent that led them to gain a foothold in the history of this genre and in the collective memory of the fans. These powerful personalities fought the bastion of rock to show that electric guitars, tattoos, and leather were not only for men. This book contains half a century of rock history from personal stories of the main characters, a journey that goes from pioneers like Big "Mama" Thorton or Sister Rosetta Tharpe, to some of the latest generations of singers who aim to become future music figures.
