Beat music
Beat music
,
British beat
, or
Merseybeat
(after
bands
from
Liverpool
and nearby areas beside the
River Mersey
) is a
pop
and
rock music
genre that developed in the
United Kingdom
in the early 1960s. Beat music is a fusion of
rock and roll
(mainly
Chuck Berry
guitar style and the
midtempo
beat of artists like
Buddy Holly
),
doo-wop
,
skiffle
and
R&B
. The genre provided many of the bands responsible for the
British Invasion
of the American pop charts starting in 1964, and provided the model for many important developments in pop and rock music, including the format of the
rock group
around
lead
,
rhythm
and
bass guitars
with
drums
.
