Composer: Holger Czukay

Disco!

In 1973 dj David Manusco found an obscure single in a Jamaican store in his hometown New York. Manusco organised parties and was always looking for records that kept the people at his parties dancing. Manusco had a wide taste in music. He played soul and funk but also lots of salsa and African music. These diverse styles were part of the birth of a dance music style that swept the world in the late seventies: disco. The record Mancuso came across was by Manu Dibango, a jazz saxophone player from Cameroon. His Soul Makossa record is often referred to as the first disco record. As of 1977 disco grew out to be a worldwide phenomenon. Even in far-away countries like Lebanon, Pakistan and the Netherlands local artists gave disco a shot. In this episode we will research the worldwide roots and fruits of disco.
