The history and social value of disco
In the 198s, disco dance music became popular in China. Until now, we can't lose our classic and interested friends. Welcome to read this article to understand the history and social value of disco.
disco is a popular dance music and one of the styles of electronic music, which rose in the early 197s. Music is relatively simple, with a strong beat and a strong sense of movement. Disco was introduced to the United States in the mid-196s, and it was only circulated in some black clubs in new york at first. In the early 197s, it gradually developed into a musical form with national influence, and became popular all over the world after the mid-197s.
in the 198s, since Leslie Cheung's song "monica" became popular in Hongkong, disco music became popular in China. Musically, disco is dominated by 4/4 beats, with a strong beat, and each beat is outstanding; Its speed is about 12 beats per minute; Its structure is short, the lyrics are simple and many paragraphs are repeated. In fact, all songs can be turned into disco music as long as the speed is adjusted and changed to a beat that stands out in every beat.
history of development
Disco marks the beginning of early pop music based on dance music. Avoiding the increasingly prosperous voices and craziness in the 197s, disco emphasizes the beat, even singers and songs. Disco is named after discotheque, a nightclub that doesn't play any music except dance music. Most discotheque clubs in new york are gay clubs, so DJs specially choose crazy records with strong rhythm and heavy style to play. After disco appeared, records began to be played on the radio and sold well. Soon, record companies and music producers began to cut back on all forms of music except disco. Naturally, these records also have a strong pop factor, so they can be so successful. Disco albums often don't need to be changed-their few long songs just keep the beat beating. Similarly, those singles were released as 12-inch records, which helped to prolong the remixing time. Djs can mix these tracks, as long as they are marked as the number of beats per minute, they can match the beat of each song. Soon, disco, which has always been marked by strong beats, has an advantage in pop music, and each band has some disco elements, from rock stars the Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart to pop stars Bee Gees and Nouvelle Vague such as Blondie. Some disco bands became stars-Donna Summer, Chic, The Village People, and KC&; The Sunshine Band--- Since they created these rhythms and composed music, they have all played a major media role in the music of the producers. Disco gradually lost its momentum in 197s and 198s, but it didn't die out-it mutated into a variety of dance-based genres, and it became popular from amateur to professional.
social value
A dance in which the body twists with a strong rhythm of music. It has only been more than ten years since it was introduced into China, but the popularity of Disco is astounding. There is no need to pay too much attention to disco clothes, but the young British people who danced wildly in the dazzling colorful light and shadow at first have similar dresses. They wear shoulder-length hair like dry silk, tight white shirts, old beard jeans, and are decorated with all kinds of glitter and metal rings, creating a thrilling and intense atmosphere.
The research results of social and anthropologists show that human beings have an instinctive demand for singing and dancing. Disco has brought a refreshing choice for people who have always respected implication, elegance, etiquette and solemnity. To dance disco, you have to forget your identity, status and education, and forget all the personality masks that prevent you from letting go of your hands and feet. In today's disco ballroom, young people can still find the feeling of heartbeat when they step onto the dance floor wearing T-shirts, jeans and high-top sneakers. White-collar men in suits and ties go straight to the disco ballroom to catch the show without changing clothes after work from the company. A straight suit is a bit weird in the rotating shadow, but no one accuses you of being out of date, as long as you enjoy yourself. Disco's tolerance for clothes has become very broad. You can even often see the old people in the north gathering in a corner of the park, wearing bloated cotton-padded clothes and trousers to twist the disco for the elderly. You can't find the original disco spirit here, and disco seems to exist in name only. ;
