Disco dance music became popular in China in 1980s. Until now, we can't lose classic and interested friends. Welcome to read this article to understand the development history and social value of disco.
Disco is a popular dance music that rose in the early 1970s, and it is one of the styles of electronic music. Music is relatively simple, with a strong sense of rhythm and movement. Disco was introduced to the United States in the mid-1960s, and at first it was only circulated in some black clubs in new york. In the early 1970s, it gradually developed into a music form with national influence, and became popular all over the world after the mid-1970s.
Since Leslie Cheung's song "Monica" became popular in Hongkong in 1980s, disco dance 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 120 times per minute; Its structure is short, its lyrics are simple and many paragraphs are repeated. In fact, all songs can be turned into disco music as long as they are adjusted to a beat that stands out in every beat.
phylogeny
Disco marks the beginning of early pop music based on dance music. Avoiding the booming vocals and craziness in the 1970s, disco emphasizes the beat, even singers and songs. Disco, named after disco, is a nightclub that doesn't play any music except dance music. Disco clubs in new york are mostly gay clubs, so DJs deliberately 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 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 beating. Similarly, those singles are released as 12 inch records, which helps to prolong the mixing time. Djs can mix these tracks, and as long as they are marked as beats per minute, they can match the beat of each song. Soon, disco, which has always been marked by strong rhythm, has an advantage in pop music. Every band has some disco elements, from rock stars the Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart to pop stars Bee Gees and Nouvelle Vague such as Brandt. Some disco bands became stars-donna sommer, Chick, Village Band and KC&; Sunshine Band-Since they created these rhythms and created music, they all played a major media role in the producer's music. Disco gradually lost its momentum in the 1970s and 1980s, but it didn't die out-it mutated into various dance-based schools, and it changed from an amateur to a professional.
Social value
A dance in which the body twists with a strong musical rhythm. Although it has only been introduced to China for more than ten years, the popularity of Disco is staggering. You don't need to pay too much attention to disco clothes, but British young people who started dancing wildly in dazzling colorful light and shadow also have similar clothes. They wear shoulder-length hair like dry silk, tight white shirts, old beard jeans, and are decorated with all kinds of shiny things and metal rings, creating a thrilling tension.
The research results of sociologists 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. When dancing disco, you should forget your identity, status and education, and forget all the personality masks that prevent you from letting go. In today's discos, young people can still find the feeling of heartbeat when they walk onto the dance floor in T-shirts, jeans and high-heeled shoes. White-collar men in suits and ties go directly to the disco ballroom to watch the performance after work from the company without changing clothes. A straight suit looks a little weird in the rotating shadow, but no one accuses you of being out of date, as long as you have fun. Disco's tolerance for clothes has become very broad. You can even often see old people in the north gathering in a corner of the park, wearing bloated cotton-padded clothes and trousers to twist disco for the old people. You can't find the original disco spirit here. Disco seems to exist in name only.
