Fifty years after its birth, disco is honored on Wednesday 15 March. The opportunity for 12/13 to come back to the history of this musical style.

Wednesday, March 15, we celebrate the disco, the time of a day. In 2021, singer Juliette Armanet was singing The last day of disco and that day almost happened. Disco was put to death on July 12, 1979, in a stadium in Chicago (EUnited States). During a baseball game, the public brings in their disco records and blasts the vinyl records. That day, disco haters think they’ve killed the tempo.

timeless music

Forty years have passed and all generations find themselves in this festive rhythm. If the greatest successes are American, France is not left out. The crown of this French disco goes to Marc Cerrone. His fame has traveled the world. Some thought that disco would disappear. Today, this music is the only one that can celebrate its 50th anniversary on a day dedicated to it.
