	J-ROCK - JAPANESE ROCK MUSIC
		Japanese rock is a form of popular music, often abbreviated to "J-Rock" in much the same way that "J-Pop" is used as an abbreviation of Japanese Pop.
		A few Group Sounds bands imitated their Anglo heros, including The Golden Cups, The Tempters, The Mops, The Dynamites and Jacks, whose "Karappo No Sekai" and "Marianne" were two of the first psychedelic recordings from the country.
		A fringe movement from the late 1980s in Japanese alternative rock took the form of noise rock, a sound popularised by bands such as Boredoms.

	J-POP HISTORY
		Japanese stores typically divide their music into 4 sections: J-pop, Enka (a traditional form of ballad), classical, and English/International.
		J-Hiphop/rock bands such as ORANGE RANGE and Ketsumeishi are at the top of the Oricon charts, with some older pop/rock groups like Mr.Children, B'z and Southern All Stars.
		The current charts are mainly ruled by male only bands and solo male singers, female pop has declined a lot since the 90's but pop singers like Hamasaki Ayumi and Otsuka Ai still get to #1 with most of their releases.

		Japanese rock (often abbreviated J-Rock) is the Japanese form of rock music.
		While psychedelic rock was known for the drug intake of its performers leaving an impact on the hazy, drugged-out music, J-Rock performers tended to be drug-free, or even adamantly against the use of drugs (for example, Kosugi Takehisa, Haino Keiji, Nanjo Asahito).
		From the late 1980s, popular heavy metal/rock bands such as X Japan helped define the Visual Kei aesthetic in Japanese rock and pop music.

	Ethnic music and (in) progressive rock : a comparative analysis
		However, basically ethnic rock is an avatar of western popular music and remains far from the preoccupations of populations, tribes and all " ethnic " musicians which largely ignore the sense of our sophisticated, " cold " (and progressive) musical orientations.
		Huge collective manifestations, musical festivals as Woodstock (with the appearance of guests as Ravi Shankar or others) are linked to the massive Western encouragement to promote musical structures outside of their context in order to have a new regard on extra-European musical heritage.

		Unsurprisingly, rock en Español got its initial start in countries with the closest ties to the United States or Europe, namely Mexico, Argentina, and Spain.
		However, until then, rock en Español — with its often ferocious, soccer game-style live shows, musicians who can skillfully play both sides of the rhythmic border, and lyrics honed by culturally divergent situations — proves that rock's innate spirit doesn't talk only in English and can speak to everyone.
		Finally, rock en Español is as diverse as its English counterpart.
