Through the voices of those who orbited around them, the reader embarks on a hallucinatory journey from a blues bar in Madrid to the heart of the night and the sixties. This work is an unbridled chronicle of a utopian decade, where LSD sparked a social and cultural revolution, and where a multitude thirsty for escapism sought boundless fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe novel constructs a fascinating alternate history around the idea that three music legends, who died at 27, formed a secret band. The narrative does not focus on Jimi, Janis, and Jim themselves, but rather on the myriad supporting characters who claim to have been around them: hippies, beatniks, photographers, groupies, drug dealers, managers, hairdressers, journalists, lovers, and hustlers. All of them, with eyes often reddened by excess, offer fragments of a story that starts at La Coquette, a blues bar in Madrid, and delves into the depths of the night. The book is as much a tribute to the spirit of the sixties as it is a reflection on the myth, memory, and legend surrounding these iconic figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe \"27 Club\" myth and the construction of legends around musical figures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe countercultural revolution of the sixties, marked by LSD, utopia, and the search for liberation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChoral narration and the perspective of the \"secondary characters\" as witnesses and creators of history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExcess, escapism, and fun as driving forces for a generation that lived on the edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe fusion of reality and fiction in the memory of a golden and unbridled era.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at lovers of rock music and the counterculture of the sixties, especially those fascinated by the figures of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison.

The decision to narrate the story through secondary characters provides uncommon freshness and depth, moving away from the myth to explore the humanity and chaos surrounding it. Javier Serrano Sánchez's prose captures the hallucinatory and utopian spirit of the sixties, offering a novel that, while not a biography, becomes a vibrant and original tribute. It is a work that will especially resonate with those looking for a read that defies the conventions of historical and musical storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EDITORIAL PEZ DE PLATA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405860954459,"sku":"9788412508383","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841250838.jpg?v=1781833384","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788412508383","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
