Spanish pop flourished during the ‘60s and ’70s. Game-changing bands reiterated sounds as diverse as rumba flamenca and Merseybeat, while singer-songwriters intricately wove the personal and the political, resonating across the Spanish-speaking world. A major figure of Catalonia’s folk-indebted Nova Cançó, Joan Manuel Serrat shines among the artists who rose their stirring voices against Francoist Spain. Here he joins great romantics—from the widely celebrated Julio Iglesias to indie icon Jeanette—and great exponents of baroque pop, instrumental and psych-rock that still inspire fans today.
