In 1963 the Beatles released the single in which they sing 'She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah ...' a catchy refrain that will be used to define a music style and way of life: The Yé-Yés.
IÉ-IÉ is a publication based on a survey of newspaper articles (Século, Diário Popular and the magazine Plateia) about the largest national Yé-yé contest held in Portugal. Between 1965 and 1966, the contest gathered more than 70 bands, with an average age of 18, coming from all over the country as well as from Angola, Mozambique, Guinea and Cape Verde. In the context of the dictatorship regime and the war in the colonies this musical contest was putting in evidence the emergence of a new age group with different aspirations and habits of consumption: the Youth, an unprecedented mass phenomenon, that was finding new strong identity factors in music, cinema and fashion.
