about

At the beginning of the 1960s, a style of rock was born, evoking the new surfing fashion in California. Initially instrumental on electric guitar, this sunny universe, symbol of freedom, encounters in swimsuits, tanned athletes and big waves, then inspired songs on this theme...
Surf rock became one of the most popular musical trends during the early sixties. Dick Dale was the initiator of this musical movement that attracted so many people.
Dale used the word "surf" for this new musical trend because it was his favourite sport and he surfed quite often.
Dick's close friends were not surf fans, but they did follow and enjoyed the music he played; this situation led to the use of surf-related words and idioms to refer to the style of music played by Dick Dale.
That is the reason why this musical style has this name, something curious and strange for some people.
The rock n`roll of the 1950s had a great influence on the emergence, growth and development of surf music.
A special sign of this musical trend was the long guitar solos, which were often heard more than the vocals, adapting rock n`roll vocals and chords; it was often said that the vocals accompanied the guitars and not the other way around.
Dick Dale's "Let's go trippin'" is the official song that marked the beginning of this musical trend and thus consolidated the first great wave of surf rock musicians.
The second wave of surf rock was led by the Beach Boys; these musicians added vocal harmonies, pop sparkles and their lyrics highlighted the charms of the sea, the beach and surfing.
Surf rock has had important moments in musical history at various times and in different places....
This collection combines the roots and birth of surf rock are compiled here, revealing the irresistible recordings by its precursors, such as the Hawaiian Sol Ho'opi'i, Chet Atkins, Duane Eddy but also by its first performers, including the Ventures, Little Pattie, The Atlantics, Dick Dale and the Revels. Not to mention vocal groups like the Beach Boys, who began their career singing about the world of surfing, an integral part of the American myth...
