Forbidden Vibrations

Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea CGAC, Santiago de Compostela

The exhibition reviews the mechanisms and outcome of the censorship carried out by Francos dictatorship in the world of pop and rock music


sintesi del comunicato stampa

In the same way as cinema or the press, pop and rock music could not escape the censoring action of the Franco regime. But in contrast to the first, the repression became harsher with regards to the latter just when the regime was starting to cautiously open up. The authorities were aware of the role that music had played in the international revolts of the sixties and tried to limit its influence in a Spain that was becoming more and more developed and cosmopolitan. Censorship forced the production of new covers -that today have become valuable collectors items- in order to redo the most scandalous ones or eliminate uncomfortable references contained in the lyrics. The exhibition reviews the mechanisms and outcome of the censorship carried out by Francos dictatorship in the world of pop and rock music, through the covers of records and the reports of the censors. Curated by Xavier Valino and Hector Fouce.
