Définition

  • Since the early 1960s, many rock ‘n’ roll bands, folk singers, songwriters, and other musicians have had a visible role as activists at popular protests seeking to bring about social, environmental, and political changes. From iconic artists Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Jello Biafra, and Bob Geldof to bands U2, Rage Against the Machine, and more recently Green Day, over the past 4 decades, the rock movement has accompanied and encouraged activist movements of young generations to stop wars, to fight against poverty and HIV/AIDS, and to help the poor and oppressed worldwide.
