The '60s and '70s: Strange Days - Jim Morrison and the counterculture of the 1960s.


(Titas De Sarkar)

Welcome to the World of Music....

The developments in the musical genres is not independent of the human civilisation, rather it is almost directly related to the social changes, being affected culturally, politically and with the change in the history of the society.


This blog is developed in order to hold discussions regarding the evolution of the musical forms. The authors of this blog would try their best to trace the roots from which a form has developed.


Each section will be divided into several episodes and we would try to move chronologically through the history of the specific form of music in question.
