Disco is a genre of music that originated in discothèques. Generally the term refers to a specific style of music that has influences from funk, soul music, and salsa and the Latin or Hispanic musics which influenced salsa.

Origins


Elements of disco music appear on records from the early 1970s such as the 1971 theme from the film Shaft by Isaac Hayes. In general it can be said that the first disco songs were released in 1973, however many consider Manu Dibango's 1972 "Soul Makossa" the first disco record. A September 13, 1973 article in Rolling Stone magazine called "Discotheque Rock '72: Paaaaarty!" by Vince Aletti * about the New York nightclub scene where "Soul Makossa" was being played is considered to be the first to use the terminology "disco". Initially, most disco songs catered to a nightclub/dancing audience only, rather than general audiences such as radio listeners, but there are many aspects proving opposite tendencies as well; popular radio-hits were being played in discothèques, as long as they had an easy to follow rhythmic bass-pattern close to 120 BPM (beats per minute). Most 70's Disco genre songs had a distinctive four/four bass beat.

Soul and funk records that influenced disco include:
