1968: El año que conmocionó el mundo

The year was a turning point for both politics and music, but I'm curious how interconnected these cultural shifts really were. Did music reflect the upheaval or help drive it?

Reading about the protests and upheavals, I wonder if the author sees a particular catalyst or if it was just a perfect storm of social tensions coming to a head.

Given the vast scope of events that year, I'm interested in what prompted the choice to narrow in on this specific period and how the narrative was shaped.
