Popular music, understood as an expression of a people, originated in very ancient times and is tied inextricably to the concept of community.
When the man established forms of cooperation and collaboration, the music-group art par excellence-prospered handing down unwritten form for centuries, going through long periods of immutability because of cultural isolation and facing sudden changes due to clashes with other cultures.

The brand name, remembers his friend and INSPIRER Roberto Lucanero in his indispensable essay "the dance of the fairies.
