Dylan, Bob (1941 - )

Born in Minnesota in 1941 and still musically active today in 2011. At the beginning of the 1960s he went to New York and rapidly became one of the principal figures of folk movement and the protest song, before using the electric guitar at the end of the same decade. He was thus denounced by his initial fans but acquired an international aura, in particularly thanks to the first double album in the history of rock, Blonde on Blonde. In using the electric guitar to play folk, he was also the instigator of folk rock.
