Rockin' and rollin'
Rock'n'roll is a popular music genre that emerged in the 50's. It holds some interesting dual elements: joy and pain, good and bad, sex and religion... It's an unlimited source of inspiration for modern music and speaks to people of any cultural, historical, social background.

Music like gospel and blues were a spiritual and creative outlet, a remedy to ease their pain against labour, injustice, inequality and was often despised by the white community.

Remember Elvis sexy dance move in "Jailhouse Rock" or Jerry Lee Lewis, known as "The Killer", stamping his feet and shaking is blond locks above the piano. Jerry Lee Lewis was one of the early pioneer of rock'n'roll music:
