Most Important Artists

From Los secretos to Melendi, here are the most important artists in the history of Spanish pop music.

The History of Spanish Pop

In the 50s, rock music arrived to Spain and in the 50s, 60s and 70s a lot of Spanish groups started to mix pop and rock.

In the 80s and 90s, these groups started to completely differentiate between pop and rock. 

A lot of groups stayed loyal to rock but many of them started to become pop artists (also thanks to the 'movida madrileña')

Influence on Society

Right after pop came to Spain, Spain faced the 'Movida madrileña'.

La Movida Madrileña was a countercultural movement that took place mainly in Madrid during the Spanish transition after Francisco Franco's death in 1975. It represented the resurrection of the economy in Spain and the emergence of a new Spanish identity.
