Covering a vibrant period from 1963 to 1976, this comprehensive volume explores the diverse landscape of Latin American and Canadian music, including rock, pop, R&B, folk, and more.

The book promises an in-depth look at the influential sounds and styles of these regions, highlighting the cultural significance and evolution of their musical expressions during a transformative era.

Although Blur's Popscene single in March 1992 and Suede's single The Drowners in May 1992 are widely considered to be the best early examples of the genre, the term 'Britpop' was not used until 1993. Over the next few years it developed as a hugely significant, musical, cultural and social phenomenon in the UK. This book is a timely guide to many of the significant artists and recordings of the genre and quite a few less well known ones.
