Beat music, British beat, or Merseybeat (for bands from Liverpool beside the River Mersey) is a pop and rock music genre that developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1960s. Beat music is a fusion of rock and roll, doo-wop, skiffle, R&B and soul. The beat movement provided most of the bands responsible for the British invasion of the American pop charts in the period after 1964, and provided the model for many important developments in pop and rock music, including the format of the rock group around lead, rhythm and bass guitars with drums.
The exact origins of the terms Beat music and Merseybeat are uncertain. Beat music seems to have had little to do with the Beat Generation literary movement of the 1950s, and more to do with driving rhythms, which the bands had adopted from their rock and roll, rhythm and blues and soul music influences. As the initial wave of rock and roll declined in the later 1950s "big beat" music, later shortened to "beat", became a live dance alternative to the balladeers like Tommy Steele, Marty Wilde and Cliff Richard who were dominating the charts. The term Mersey Beat was used for a Liverpool magazine of that name found in 1961 by Bill Harry. Harry claims to have coined the term "based on a policeman's beat and not that of the music". The band the Pacifics were renamed the Mersey Beats in February 1962 by Bob Wooler, MC at the Cavern Club and in April that year they became The Merseybeats. The equivalent scenes in Birmingham and London would be described as Brum beat and the Tottenham Sound respectively.
Justin Drew Bieber ( /ˈbiːbər/ BEE-bər, born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian Pop/R&B singer-songwriter, musician, and actor. Bieber was discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun, who came across Bieber's videos on YouTube and later became his manager. Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher, and then to a recording contract with Island Records offered by L.A. Reid. Bieber's debut single, "One Time", was released in 2009 and peaked in the top twenty in Canada and charted in the top thirty in several international markets. His debut album, the seven-track EP My World, followed in November 2009, and was soon certified platinum in the United States. He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
Apoyó el arco suavemente entre las cuerdas
y atacó con toda naturalidad,
Mi, Fa, Mi, Re, Do, Re, Mi, Fa...
Y uno por uno desgranó cada pasaje
con preciso y afilado bisturí,
Fa, Sol, Fa, MI, Re, Do, Re, Mi...
Y contagió a los cuatro vientos
las risas y los lamentos,
de la sangre puesta en pie
Sol, La, Sol, Fa, Mi, Re, Do, Re...
Cual grillo en celo que reclama su pareja
señalando: ¡Estoy aquí!
Fa, Re, Si, La, Fa, Do, Si, La, Sol, Sol, La, Si...
Déjalo todo y sígueme
trinaba mágica la voz del músico,
pariéndo música.
Música, bendita música
La, Do, Si, Si, La, Sol, La.
A consecuencia de una osada pirueta
que el intérprete salvó con fragilidad,
Mi, Fa, Mi, Re, Do, Re, Mi, Fa...
Mi corazón echó a volar como un cometa
presintiendo que tú andabas por allí,
Fa, Sol, Fa, Mi, Re, Do, Re, Mi...
Y con la angustia y el talento
del último movimiento,
anduvo buscándote
Sol, La, Sol, Fa, Mi, Re, Do, Re.
Y en los impares del segundo anfiteatro
te encontró y volvió a por mí,
Fa, Re, Si, La, Fa, Do, Si, La, Sol, Sol, La, Si...
Déjalo todo y sígueme
trinaba mágica la voz del músico,
pariéndo música.
Música, bendita música
