About this Song
For Indonesian fans and creators of dance and electronic music, the global lineages that shape the sounds they love are often a source of curiosity, connection, and deep appreciation, and Black Futures: How disco set the stage for dance and electronic music unpacks one of the most foundational of those lineages with clarity, rigor, and reverence. A World Cafe Words and Music Podcast, the production features contributions from Kevin McFall and Eddie C. Rawhouse Starks III, and centers the core argument that disco is the origin point for most contemporary dance music genres, a claim that anchors every layer of its far-reaching discussion. It is part of a larger series created for Black History Month that examines a range of musical genres and their profound significance in the Black music canon, turning a much-needed spotlight on the Black creators whose work has shaped global popular music in ways that are often overlooked or erased from mainstream origin stories.
