Disco Music

Disco is a genre of psychedelic dance music originating from the 1970's. It was first heard of in Afro-American and gay, lesbian & transgender clubs in New York city and Philadelphia. It was also a "counter-attack" against rock music dominating the musical genres at that time and an "anti-stigmatic weapon" against racism and homophobia. Its popularity spread and now disco is played in virtually every club on the globe.

They have color filters. A red filter, for example, transmits only red light that is emitted from the white light bulb.

So, your eyes only see the green or the red wavelengths.

If your hair is blonde use pinks or blues, if your hair is brown or red use green

s and if your hair is black use ether a bright colour or smoky! Put your hair down if it is straightened or curly or crimped what ever you want and then you will look fabulous.

The first disco hit was "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation, closely followed by "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrae, both in 1974. Both songs hit #1 on the Billboard charts and really got the Disco craze going. Interestingly,

Rock Your Baby was written by Howard Casey, who went on to become KC of KC and the Sunshine Band, who had several No. 1 hits and whose sound became synonomous with Disco. Hope this helps.

Why was disco named disco?

Because it was the kind of music they played at discos in the 1970s. The word disco (short for discotheque) means a dance club where music is played by a DJ instead of a live band. So, the style of music that was played at 1970s discotheques came to be called "disco music." Probably because of its association with 1970s disco music, hardly anybody uses the word "disco" or "discotheque" anymore to describe those kinds of dance clubs. Most people just call them "nightclubs" or "dance clubs" now.

You know the movie Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta? That's what a disco was. It was a specific kind of music and dancing, in a specific kind of nightclub with lots of colored lights and disco balls. Sort of like a 1970s version of the raves kids go to today (which also feature a specific kind of music and dancing).

What are the main features of disco music?

The heavy kickdrum in simple quadruple time gives a constant rhythm of quarter notes, making it extremely easy for people to catch onto the beat. The usually high vocal and horn parts are very exciting both musically and lyrically and have all the surprises that make music interesting. The thunderous bassline is treated as priority in disco and unlike most music today, lead guitar isn't used because it would compromise the seniority of the bass. Rhythm guitar is used to complicate the musical sound but not keep attention from the simple, steady kickdrum. Rhythm guitar can be thought of as the inner workings of the sound because if it was heard alone it wouldn't make much sense, but hearing it churning with the rest of the parts helps to make sense of the music. Keyboard or fingered electric guitar is often used, but again, always keeps in line with the bass. It adds an interesting, synthesized sound that led to the synthesizer obsession of the 80s.

These are generalities and obviously all of disco cannot have a single answer. But disco mainly keeps priority to the heavy downbeat in 4/4, which nicknamed the meter "four-on-the-floor". Think of it as the dancefloor, if you like.

This is a good example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chic_-_Good_Times.ogg
