Saturday Night Fever made disco style eternal cultural phenomenon

Disco became popular in the Soviet Union too, although the country was closed from the rest of the world during the communist regime back in those years. A group called Mirage appeared in the USSR in 1986 and became an outstanding sensation in the Soviet pop music. The songs of the group became a bright alternative to social and pseudo-philosophical rock music.

The music crisis that gripped mass culture during the recent decade eventually made the general public turn to the classic of disco. Pop icon Madonna, for example, made a triumphant return to music charts with her “Confessions on a Dance Floor” CD, which was entirely devoted to disco. The singer used the Queen of Disco image for the packaging of the CD, new videos and for the highly successful Confessions Tour, which became the top grossing tour for a female artist in history. For her hit single “Hung Up” Madonna used a sample of the song “Gimme Gimme Gimme” originally performed by iconic disco band ABBA. A combination of all these aspects earned very good money for Madonna and helped her recover after the flop of her previous album, American Life.

Specialists say that disco has become a cultural phenomenon for all generations. Disco is not only good for health. It contains absolutely healthy erotica, deprived of all decadence that can be seen in many music styles of recent times.
