La música se resiste a morir

A complete journey through the life, artistic and political career of Frank Zappa, one of the most renowned musicians of the 20th century. Composer, singer, filmmaker, producer, writer and entrepreneur, his career constitutes an exciting cultural adventure. From his origins in the sixties in the Californian freak scene until his premature death in 1993, at the age of 52, he released dozens of albums, gave more than a thousand concerts and emerged as the icon of the indomitable artist who demolished all conventions and withstood attacks from the record industry and political power. Based on interviews with his collaborators and the consultation of thousands of documents in American collections, this unauthorized biography (the first on Frank Zappa in Spanish) offers an unbiased portrait of the iconoclastic musician and his time. In his pages we witness the echoes of the artistic avant-gardes, the influence of Zappa in the activist counterculture, the gestation and development of his abundant work, as well as his confrontations with record companies and Puritan organizations. A landscape where the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix coexist with Edgard Varèse and Pierre Boulez, observed with the incomparable sarcasm of a unique artist, whose legacy offers us infinite keys to understand our present.
