Il neobarock’n’roll di Frank Zappa. Per un catalogo di citazioni

Abstract

Between the 1960s and 1990s, rock music was profoundly influenced by the aesthetic of the American composer and musician, Frank Zappa. The latter’s complex and irrevent quotations came from different kinds of music, which included – among other things – doo-wop, rhythm’n’blues, pop music, as well as commercial jiingles. This article explores Zappa’s musical (and textual) citations of pop art, dadaism, postmodernism and neo-baroque.
