Euro Disco is a
term that was used during the 1980s to describe a variety of
European pop music. Euro disco songs are usually catchy songs with
bouncy dance beats, English-language vocals and synthesizer-based
accompaniment.
In 1984/85, the German Disco artists Modern Talking and Sandra
became popular in Central, southern and eastern Europe and established
the Euro disco sound across Europe that remained popular until the early
1990s.
Britain's best-known contributors to the euro disco music were during
the mid and late 1980s. The Pet Shop Boys are a notable example
and of course the Stock/Aitken/Waterman production team. This
team produced music by singers such as Rick Astley and Kylie
Minogue and conquered the airwaves. |
