 TATAR ROOTS
Some, mostly Tatar scientists, believe that Bulgars spoke a common Turkic language and were a language-bearing component of the Tatars.
Thus, there are various opinions on the time of the development of the Tatar people’s roots in the Volga and Urals: some attribute it to the 4 c., others to the 8 c., to the 9 c., to the 13 c., or to the 14 c.
The study of the beginning and the process of formation of the Tatar people or its language-carrying components is further complicated by some scientists (mainly the official Finno-ugrian school which seeks to prove an Uralic origin of the Hungarians) trying to place the so-called Magna Hungaria (Great Hungary) in the Middle Volga and Urals.

 Rock and roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rock and roll (also known as rock 'n' roll), is a defined supergenre of music that originated in the United States in the 1950s and quickly spread to the rest of the world.
Rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in America in the late 1940s as a part of African American culture, when it was called RandB, and, with the present name, in the early 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be heard in blues records as far back as the 1920s.
While rock and roll musicians increasingly wrote their own material, many of the earliest white rock and roll hits were covers of earlier rhythm and blues or blues songs.
