The origins of Music Day
The day June 21 It is the European Music Day, something that becomes official as of 1982. It was in June of that same year, where for the first time, a group of musicians took to the streets to celebrate this date with the intention of entertaining the public and where there was no distinction regarding musical genres and that it opened the doors to new manifestations such as urban music, rap or techno, among others.
The forerunner of this idea was the American musician Joel Cohen in 1976, who proposed that musical groups play during the two solstices that are celebrated each year, the first on June 21 and the other on December 21, which which became a fact from that same year, in Toulouse, France.
