Por ello, este libro pretende aproximarse a la correspondencia entre ambas desde muy diferentes puntos de partida. Así, la investigación musicológica, la crítica, el periodismo, la academia, la divulgación o la docencia son solo algunos de ellos.Estructurado en once capítulos que abordan distintos temas complementarios entre sí, una introducción inicial y un espectro temporal que va desde 1940 a nuestros días. Alberto Caparrós, Elsa Calero, Eduardo Murillo, Robert Ferrer, Alicia Pajón, Juan Urdániz, Ugo Fellone, Laura Alonso, Pilar Ferrer, Belén Galletero, Miguel Ángel Aguilar y Marco Antonio de la Ossa se aproximan a muy variados estilos musicales (música clásica, himnos guerrilleros, flamenco, canción de autor, bandas sonoras de videojuegos, post-rock, tango, punk, hip hop, mestizaje…). Del mismo modo, en este volumen tampoco se discrimina de forma alguna en medios, ya que revistas musicales, clandestinas, fanzines, prensa generalista nacional, regional, local, radio, televisión, Internet y otros muchos soportes tienen espacio en estas páginas.
