International holidays - World Beatles Day

Since 2001, the international day of the legendary group “The Beatles” has been celebrated on January 16 The choice of this date is not a random decision It was on this day back in 1957 that the famous Kavern club was opened, where three friends began their fruitful creative journey many years ago: John Lennon, Paul Macartney and George Harrison Later they were joined by a fourth permanent member of the team, Ringo Starr In addition, on January 16, only in 1964, the first position of the American hit parade was taken by the Beatles' composition “I want to hold your hand” From that moment the conquest of the United States began The fateful meeting for the Liverpool team took place in 1962 It was then that they met a man who had nothing to do with the music industry However, that didn't stop him from realizing - or perhaps feeling - that these guys were worth the effort Brian Epstein, that was the name of this man, took the position of team manager He subsequently admitted that the Beatles' songs helped open up a completely different world for him Brian himself did no less for the young group - he opened a whole world for them It seems to many that this legendary group has existed for many years, and most position them as eternal idols But the team in its standard composition lasted only 8 years During their activity, the musicians released 13 albums All of them became true classics and sold millions of copies The Beatles gained their first popularity after writing the song “Please Please Me” This event took place in 1963 Probably from that moment the planet went crazy and a new phenomenon called Beatlemania appeared According to legend, the idea for the band's name came to Lennon in a dream Today it is no longer possible to confirm or refute this fact, but the musician himself claimed that he saw a stranger on the pie who said: “Let there be Beetles” This word translates as “bugs”, but John replaced the letter “e” with “a” Thus, a completely new word emerged At its root one can clearly read “beat” - beat music The group's creativity has made a significant contribution to the development of the music industry Many famous composers and singers followed their example In addition, the Beatles were the first to use innovative ideas in the field of sound recording and video filming Today the band ranks first on the list of the greatest performers of all time according to Rolling Stone A few years ago, this magazine published the 500 best songs of all time, and most of all in this top are “Beatles” songs On January 16, all kinds of memorable events and cover performances of songs by the Fab Four are organized Fans from all over the world play compositions loved by music lovers of all ages to once again enjoy the immortal music of the Beatles
