OverviewEste libro ofrece un retrato de uno de los personajes más controvertidos de la contracultura estadounidense de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. La vida y la obra de Frank Zappa se recogen aquí de la mano de Quim Casas, uno de los periodistas que mejor conocen el universo musical y humano de este personaje iconoclasta y vanguardista como pocos. En sus páginas se recogen hechos de su vida personal, su labor como líder de The Mothers of Invention, su papel en la escena californiana de los años sesenta, sus disputas y abandono de la industria musical y su labor como artista independiente, así como la influencia recibida de personajes tan dispares como Jimi Hendrix, Edgar Varèse o Pierre Boulez. This book offers a portrait of one of the most controversial figures of American counterculture in the second half of the 20th century. The life and work of Frank Zappa are explored here by Quim Casas, one of the journalists most familiar with the musical and human universe of this uniquely iconoclastic and avant-garde artist. These pages cover events from his personal life, his role as leader of The Mothers of Invention, his involvement in the 1960s California scene, his conflicts with and eventual departure from the music industry, and his work as an independent artist, as well as the wide-ranging influences on his music, from Jimi Hendrix to Edgar Varèse to Pierre Boulez.
