Pop/Rock/Folk Music during the Communist Period. From the "Soundtrack of Censorship" to Păunescu's Underground

This article proposes, through a critical analysis, a new prototype of adherence to the world of music during the liberalized communist period. Rock music, from its appearance to the present day, has represented a true musical revolution. Adjacent genres, such as folk or pop, complete the musical landscape of the communist period which wanted to impose itself. In those gray years of communism, liberalization measures were necessary, only to maintain the regime, but not to truly satisfy public predilection. However, these same liberalization measures have gradually led to the destabilization of this totalitarian system, thus showing its true face. It is certain that, with or without the will of the regime, one day the artistic sphere would still have had its say and would have unleashed a real hurricane that could have destroyed everything in its path.
