Annals of the Disco Diaspora: Tab Dumping MetaFilter

What Is House Muzik.jpg

This post was a long time in the making. What we’re gonna do right here is go back. Way back. Back into time…

Per Wikipedia

A diaspora (in Greek, διασπορά – “a scattering [of seeds]”) is any movement of a population sharing common national and/or ethnic identity. While refugees may or may not ultimately settle in a new geographic location, the term diaspora refers to a permanently displaced and relocated collective.

Born of the disenfranchised, it makes cosmic sense that subsequent to Disco’s revilement, the music would go on to spawn so much. The amount of subsequent creativity generated is incomprehensible. That combination of Latin Jazz/Salsa, Philly Soul, and elements of Funk was and still is a winner.

That was a good chunk of time well spent.
