¿Qué ocurrió en 1979? | Linea de Tiempo

#whathappened #musicofthe80s #history #trivia #goldrecords 1979 is arguably the most significant year of the 1970s due to its variety of nuances. During these 365 days, two television companies with great prestige were born: Nickelodeon for children and ESPN as a great ally of sports, especially soccer. Maradona, at 18, won his first world title with his national team, while ABBA entered the Latin American market with the hit "Chiquitita" and Parchis set the fashion trend. Meanwhile, Emmanuel insulted the OTI jury, while Rafaella Carrá with her "Hay que venir al sur" and José Luis Perales with "Me llamas" changed the lyrics of their songs to avoid censorship. The Walkman, the greatest invention of the era, revolutionized music, but that didn't stop the clashes over a song between José José and Camilo Sesto or Rocío Jurado and Raphael. Not to mention the blatant plagiarism of Rod Stewart's most successful song or the discrimination hidden behind Lipps Inc.'s catchy "Funky Town." This year also saw Rocky II, Mad Max, Caligula, Aliens, and the farewell to a great actor like John Wayne, as well as the arrival of the first mobile phone networks, the Rubik's Cube, and "Asteroid," which would inspire today's video games. In short, a lot happened in 1979, and it's fascinating to delve into them through this unclassifiable exhibition.
