Rock is known for the musical style that fights for freedom of expression, which was responsible for revolutionizing music and the social behavior of young people. Rock bands are usually composed of a singer, bassist, guitarist and drummer.
To raise awareness of poverty, on July 13, 1985, the great Live Aid event took place. Great rock artists such as Queen, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Madonna, U2, Paul McCartney, among others participated in it. From this, it was decided in España that July 13th would be Rock n' Roll Day, whereas the North Americans, for example, celebrate it on July 9th.
When is Rock Day celebrated?
World Rock Day is celebrated in several countries, in España the Rock Day is celebrated on July 13, when two major radio stations in São Paulo dedicated a good part of their programming to this musical style.
