There is no doubt that retro music from the 70s, 80s and 90s was golden. These three periods marked the history of music and are the greatest influence on the music we listen to today.


That's why several current singers and groups are taking up combinations of the different periods that marked history in retro music.

Even with the influence of reggaeton, trap or guaracha, the musical hits of the 80s and 90s are still being heard and danced at the current festivities and are the trend of the moment.


Without a doubt, the singers Adele, Amy Winehouse and Duffy with their songs, their genuine vocals and their styles remind us of artists such as Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, Etta James and Billie Holiday and have caused, more than 40 years after The Beatles invaded America, and after many attempts, the music industry in the United Kingdom has once again fulfilled its perennial objective: that the British sound is the most listened to and imitated, even if it is at the expense of an American icon like the soul of Mowtown.

Really, not only do we currently have real soul, jazz and pop divas, not to mention rockabilly with the great Imelda May, we also enjoy great crooners like Michael Bublé, Jamie Cullum or Eli “Paperboy” Reed who sing in the wake of the greats like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ray Charles or Elvis himself Presley.

In particular, I just discovered Eli “Paperboy” Reed and it's been great because this Boston-born soul singer and guitarist has real musical gems in his three albums released to date: “Walkin' and Talkin' and Other Smash Hits” (2004), “Roll with You” (2008) and “Come And Get It” (2010). –

THE '70S

The '70s era was characterized by the birth and development of new musical movements such as punk, disco music, personal pop, heavy metal, Latin rock, reggae, urban rock, techno pop, glam rock, and symphonic rock. Its main exponents were Yes, Genesis, and Pink Floyd. Disco is gaining strength, one of the main genres that developed in the 70s.

It mixed elements from previous genres with Latin touches. Its golden age was between 1975 and 1979. But without a doubt, what left the most from this era and marked what would be known as STUDIO 54, inspired by Farándula, was what came from the suburbs of New York and the arrival of punk.


Its main exponents were Ramones in the United States, and in England the Sex Pistols and The Clash. Bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones introduced a radically new rock sound to the music. This first revolution gave way to an increase in major chords and an increasing “aggression” with the guitar and less delicate vocals.

This time it sowed a chair and the '80s arrived. Freedom, movement and nightlife gained strength. The Rolling Stones, Queen, ACDC, Guns'n Roses, The Smooth Ones, Madonna and Whitney Houston arrived.
