1992 IN MUSIC


Events

[edit]January–February

[edit]March–April

[edit]May–June

  • May
    • The first Europäisches Jugendchorfestival,(EJCF) (European Festival of Youth Choirs) is held in Basel, Switzerland. It is decided to make it a triennial event.
    • Rob Halford announces he is leaving Judas Priest.
  • May 6 – Selena releases her album Entre A Mi Mundo which contains her first No. 1 hit, "Como La Flor".
  • May 7 – John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers leaves the band prior to the publication of a Rolling Stone magazine cover featuring them; he has to be digitally edited out of the photo. Frusciante returned to the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1998.[citation needed]
  • May 11 – A. R. Rahman's debut film Roja is released. The soundtrack is regarded as a milestone that changed the face of Tamil film music and subsequently contemporary Indian music. Time magazine's film critic, Richard Corliss, stated in 2005 that the "astonishing debut work parades Rahman's gift for alchemizing outside influences until they are totally Tamil, totally Rahman," naming it one of the magazine's "10 Best Soundtracks" of all time.
  • June 27
    • Michael Jackson starts the Dangerous World tour, supporting his Dangerous album in Munich, Germany.
    • Guitarist Stefanie Sargent of up-and-coming punk rock band 7 Year Bitch dies of asphyxiation after returning home from a party in which she had drunk alcohol and taken a small amount of heroin. She was 24.
