In 1957 a band debuted that until today has set the tone and is an obligatory reference when talking about the history of music, so on January 16 in England debuted The Beatles, in a club called Cavern Club, so every January 16 is celebrated the "International Day of The Beatles".
This band was born just at a time when humanity was going through a strong and somewhat agitated moment, if not quite, the world was still recovering from World War II and to further complicate the picture the U.S. began the war with Vietnam, that is, we are talking about the years of the Cold War, a time of hippies, protests, movements for love and peace and this band arrives where its members did not have long hair, but their songs were catchy, they spoke of the ideals of the moment such as equality, peace and a much better world for all, so they were very popular among the youth of the time, becoming a phenomenon that ended up being called 'Beatlemania'.
However, this date is not the only one to celebrate this famous English band whose members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, since their fans do not agree and each one alleges different facts to celebrate this famous group, For example, there are those who believe that July 10 is The Beatles Day because on that date in 1964, the band returned to Liverpool triumphant from their American tour, others claim (the British) that The Beatles Day is July 6, the date on which Lennon and McCartney, the founders of the band, met.
On the other hand, this band was so famous that they recorded a movie called A Hard Day's Night (1964) and they were even in cartoons. I don't know about you, but I have a favorite song that I love from The Beatles and it is Help!
Now for those of you who always want to discover new things or facts I share the following:
The Beatles planned to buy their own utopian island: The idea was proposed by Lennon, and the island would be off the Athenian coast. But they never did and the boys' utopian society remained as another great ideal that never saw the light of day.
The Russians listened to The Beatles on used x-ray scanners: We are talking about the middle of the cold war. Russia had banned many things from western culture and among these objects were the band's vinyl records, but human beings have always been ingenious and for this reason they discovered that they could store music in the x-ray scanners of the time and so they listened to the greatest hits of the moment.
George Harrison lost his virginity while the rest of the band was spying: Actually the story goes like this: the whole band stayed in bunk beds, so the word intimacy didn't exist, but Harrison managed to have sex under the blankets...
Disney, the place of dreams was the location for Lennon's farewell to the group: John Lennon was staying at the Polynesian Village Hotel at Disney World, when he decided to call it quits for good with the most famous rock and roll band in history.
Finally and now to say goodbye I leave you another video of this band, but its version in the animated series, this series aired from 1965 to 1969 on ABC in the United States, I can not retire without mentioning that in my childhood and adolescence I got to listen to the records of this band, as my mother was and still is, She even told me that being the first one in the urbanization that listened to this music, it was a scandal and the neighbors even knocked on the door to complain about the noise, just imagine, now I say goodbye, waiting to read your impressions in the comments box.
En el año 1957 debuto una banda que hasta hoy ha marcado pauta y es referencia obligatoria al hablar de la historia de la música, así un 16 de enero en Inglaterra debutaron The Beatles, en un club llamado Cavern Club, por ello todos los 16 de enero se celebra el “Día Internacional de The Beatles”.
Esta banda, nace justo en un momento en que la humanidad cruzaba por un momento fuerte y algo agitado, por no decir que bastante, el mundo todavía se recuperaba de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y para complicar mas el panorama EEUU comenzó la guerra con Vietnam, es decir hablamos de los años de la Guerra Fría, época de hippies, protestas, movimientos por el amor y la paz y llega esta banda donde sus integrantes no tenían el pelo largo, pero sus canciones eran pegajosas hablaban de los ideales del momento como lo eran igualdad, paz y un mundo mucho mejor para todos, así que ellos calaron en la juventud de la época convirtiéndose en todo un fenómeno que terminara llamándose en la ‘Beatlemanía’
Ahora bien, esta fecha no es la única en la que se celebra a esta famosa banda inglesa cuyos integrantes fueron John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison y Ringo Starr, ya que sus fans no se ponen de acuerdo y cada uno alega hechos diferentes, para celebrar a esta famosa agrupación, por ejemplo hay quienes opinan que 10 de julio, es el Día de The Beatles porque en esa fecha en el año 1964, la banda regresa a Liverpool triunfante de su gira estadounidense, otros alegan (los británicos) que el Día de The Beatles, es el 6 de julio, fecha en la que se conocieron Lennon y McCartney los fundadores de la banda.
Por otro lado, esta banda fue tan famosa que llego a grabar una película de nombre A Hard Day’s Night (1964) y hasta a dibujos animados los llevaron, no se tú, pero yo tengo una canción favorita que amo de The Beatles y es Help!
Ahora para los que siempre desean descubrir cosas o datos nuevos les comparto lo siguiente:
The Beatles planeaban comprar su propia isla utópica: La idea la propuso Lennon, y la isla quedaría en las costas atenienses. Pero nunca lo hicieron y la sociedad utópica de los chicos quedó como otro gran ideal que nunca vio la luz.
Los rusos oían a The Beatles en escáneres de rayos x usados: Hablamos de plena guerra fría. Rusia había prohibido muchas cosas de la cultura de occidente y entre estos objetos estaban los discos de vinilo de la banda, pero el ser humano siempre ha sido ingenioso y por esta razón descubrieron que podían guardar música en los escáneres de rayos x de la época y así escuchaban los grandes éxitos del momento.
George Harrison perdió la virginidad mientras el resto de la banda espiaba: En realidad la historia es la siguiente: toda la banda se quedaba en literas, así que la palabra intimidad no existía, pero Harrison se las arregló para tener relaciones debajo de las mantas…
Disney, el lugar de los sueños fue la locación para la despedida de Lennon del grupo: John Lennon se encontraba hospedado en el Hotel Polynesian Village en Disney World, cuando decidió terminar definitivamente con la banda de rock and roll más famosa de la historia.
Finalmente y ya para despedirme les dejo otro video de esta banda, pero de su versión en la serie animada, esta serie estuvo al aire desde el año 1965 hasta 1969 en la cadena ABC en los Estados Unidos, no puedo retirarme sin mencionar que en mi infancia y adolescencia llegue escuchar los discos de esta banda, ya que mi madre era y todavía es, una admiradora de The Beatles y en casa había discos de esta banda, incluso me llego a comentar que al ser la primera en la urbanización que escucho esta música, fue todo un escandalo y los vecinos hasta tocaron la puerta para reclamar por lo ruidoso, imagínense ustedes, ahora me despido, esperando leer sus impresiones en el cajón de comentarios.

Una de las bandas más grandes de la historia sin duda. Pero aunque me gustan muchos los Beatles, yo soy más de los Rolling Stones. Excelente publicación gracias por compartir.
Hola @rocaxel, un placer leerte por acá, sin duda esa es otra banda grandiosa con un estilo único que también hizo historia. Saludos

The Beatles are quite a phenomenon. I got to know about them some years ago, and I haven't looked back since then.
It's quite sad they had to split up and Lennon demise was saddening too. May his soul rip.
"Help" is a very nice song, I love it, but my own favorite is "Hey Jude".
And I never did know there was a "Beatles day" though. 😅
I'm glad I came across this.
Thanks for stopping to read and comment on this publication, I didn't know either, I just stopped to see the world days, I saw this great date and I had to share it, as you will see it is not the only one, there are two more dates to celebrate this great band.
That song is also great, as well as all their history with all the tragedies along the way.
They do deserve a day of their own to be celebrated. They earned it. I come from a place where listening to the likes of The Beatles is termed "old fashioned" and I always try to let people know how wonderful that band was.
And I guess the ups and downs they had along the way made their lives even more interesting.
Beatless day, one of the special day.. I am not hear before. Thanks for sharing this special infirmation with us.
