The Beatles , as everyone knows, are a British group originally from Liverpool, composed of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

In ten years of existence and only eight of record career (from 1962 to 1970), the Beatles recorded twelve original albums, having composed more than 200 songs. Between 1963 and 1966 they lavished remarkably, carrying out numerous tours, participating in two feature films and publishing seven albums, which resulted in the so-called Beatlemania. Considered as the "soundtrack" of the 60s, the Beatles songs not only marked their time but also those of later generations, and their melodies have been adapted to various musical genres, such as jazz, salsa, reggae, soul or classical music.
