WHAT DOES DISCO MUSIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

disco music

Disco

Disco is a genre of music that was popular in the 1970s, though it has since enjoyed brief resurgences including the present day.[10] The term is derived from discothèque. Its initial audiences were club-goers from the African American, GLBTQ,[nb 1] Italian American, Latino, and psychedelic communities in New York City and Philadelphia during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Disco also was a reaction against both the domination of rock music and the stigmatization of dance music by the counterculture during this period. Women embraced disco as well, and the music eventually expanded to several other popular groups of the time.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] In what is considered a forerunner to disco-style clubs, New York City DJ David Mancuso opened The Loft, a members-only private dance club set in his own home, in February 1970.[20][21] AllMusic claims some have argued that Isaac Hayes and Barry White were playing what would be called disco music as early as 1971. According to the music guide, there is disagreement as to what the first disco song was.
