The rock is a musical genre whose story has evolved over the

years, and this evolution is reflected greatly in the subgenres

that have emerged from this. What we now know as Rock N

'Roll is all a fold of proposals that have merged various

rhythms and explored new sounds through electronic music.

With the emergence of these new sounds and the need to

merge them into one scenario that could draw crowds, born

rock music festivals, which today are many, but only a few

can hold thousands of people over several days: Lollapaloo-

za, Rock in Rio, Coachella, Glastonbury and Vive Latino.
