Si la música amansa las fieras, la sabihondez musical ablanda los corazones más refractarios a las delicias del amor. Ésa es la tesis de este audiolibro, una obra sin igual en la historia de la autoayuda inconfesable. Máximo Pradera, vihuelista en excedencia y seductor contumaz, nos cuenta aquí los secretos del método que tantos éxitos le ha dado en la palestra del comercio carnal. El señor Pradera es bien conocido por su ingenio, su humor incombustible y su impertinencia, virtudes justamente recompensadas con un regimiento de admiradores y una legión de enemigos acorazados...

La música es una manifestación artística presente en la totalidad de la historia. Desde el nacimiento de las primeras sociedades tribales hasta la actualidad, ha acompañado al hombre no sólo en los acontecimientos históricos más relevantes, sino en la vida cotidiana de los seres humanos. Es por esto que un acercamiento a la historia de la música es necesario para cualquier hombre, pero muchas veces los conceptos musicales pueden ser complejos o nuevos para el oyente.

From Nelson George, supervising producer and writer of the hit Netflix series The Get Down, this passionate and provocative book tells the complete story of Black music in the last 50 years, and in doing so, outlines the perilous position of Black culture within white American society.

Tutti sappiamo - o pensiamo di sapere - che cos'è la canzone italiana. Ne parliamo con gli amici guardando Sanremo, la ascoltiamo su Spotify o su vinile, la cantiamo sotto la doccia, la amiamo, la odiamo, o tutt'e due le cose insieme. Ma che cosa rende "italiana" una canzone? "Felicità", siamo tutti d'accordo, suona come una tipica "canzone italiana", al punto che potremmo definirla "all'italiana". E allora "Via con me" di Paolo Conte, coeva eppure lontana miglia e miglia dal successo sanremese di Al Bano e Romina, non lo è?

Nel 1989, in provincia di Cuneo, nasceva una delle band più importanti della musica rock italiana: i Marlene Kuntz. Gloriosi, eleganti, poetici, potenti, refrattari a piegarsi ai dettami delle mode, della critica e dei fan, hanno attraversato trent'anni di carriera inseguendo sempre e soltanto la loro ispirazione e il desiderio di battere terreni inesplorati e mai scontati.

In 1979, the self-titled debut album by the B-52s burst onto the Billboard charts, capturing the imagination of fans and music critics worldwide. The fact that the group had formed in the sleepy southern college town of Athens, Georgia, only increased the fascination.

Long before drag queens dominated the media, before gender-bending, before punk, even before Stonewall, there was Jayne County. From the 60s to the 90s she was the craziest, the most extreme queen ever to hit a rock 'n' roll stage.

Presente in tutte le culture umane da migliaia di anni, la musica ha poteri straordinari. Ma che cosa accade al nostro cervello quando facciamo musica? Di certo essa è in grado di scolpirlo nelle sue strutture e funzioni, influenzando la percezione del linguaggio, l'attenzione e la memoria. Tuffandoci nel condotto uditivo, trasformandoci in segnali elettrici capaci di raggiungere la corteccia, cavalcando le creste delle onde cerebrali, proveremo a svelare il mistero di questa forma così sofisticata di comunicazione, porta d'ingresso privilegiata per lo studio della mente.

As an industry insider and pioneering post-punk musician, Vivien Goldman’s perspective on music journalism is unusually well-rounded. In Revenge of the She-Punks, she probes four themes - identity, money, love, and protest - to explore what makes punk such a liberating art form for women. With her visceral style, Goldman blends interviews, history, and her personal experience as one of Britain’s first female music writers in a book that plays like a vivid documentary of a genre defined by dismantling boundaries.

Through personal essays and interviews, punk musician and cultural icon Lydia Lunch claws and rakes at the listener's conscience in this powerful, uninhibited feminist collection.

In 1994, Jack Carneal had a loose collection of friends - including Ned Oldham - who liked to get together and play some tunes now and then. It didn’t seem like much of anything, until Ned’s younger brother, Will Oldham, invited the guys to be his backing band on that summer’s Lollapalooza tour. Follow Jack Carneal as he navigates the chaos of the road, the trials and tribulations of being in a band, and the personal sacrifices and demands necessary to make it as a successful artist.

Inspired by the life of legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, Mauricio Segura’s Oscar evokes periods across time, from the Depression-era Montreal neighbourhood of Little Burgundy to the swinging cabarets of the 1950s, while offering a reflection on the bonds between an artist and the Caribbean diaspora from which he comes. But above all, Oscar is a poignant homage to a musical giant, a man who changed the face of jazz forever.

Je cours, paniqué. J’ai encore été piégé par ma mère. À moins d’un miracle, mon père va me tuer à soir. Le même style d’arnaque que d’habitude. J’ai beau courir, l’horizon s’éloigne et l’enfer approche à grandes claques, avec un verre de vin dans une main. Ma mère est en colère tout le temps. Contre le mauvais temps, contre les hommes en général, quoique "les hommes en général" ont l’air de ressembler beaucoup à son papa à elle et au mien... Elle est en colère contre beaucoup de choses, mais surtout contre moi.
