The Yé-yé movement, stemming from the English pop-refrain "yeah-yeah," took on a unique form in various cultural contexts, notably in France and Spain. Initially coined in France to describe a genre influenced by American rock and British [[beat music]] of the early 1960s, such as the [[Twist (dance)|twist]], Yé-yé music quickly gained popularity for its lively and uplifting characteristics. In Spain, [[Concha Velasco]] is often credited as the catalyst for the Yé-yé scene with her 1965 hit "La Chica Ye-Yé." However, even before Velasco's breakthrough, artists like [[Maribel Llaudes aka Karina|Karina]] had already begun making significant strides with their infectious tunes as early as 1963. These pioneering female singers not only popularized Yé-yé music but also set the stage for a vibrant cultural movement characterized by catchy melodies and youthful exuberance.
