Hello and welcome to the Monaco Weekly.
This time it's all about the history of disco.
The latest exhibition at Flarmonie de Paris is dedicated to the genre in disco.
I'm coming out.
Visitors will find out more about the 70s genre that dominated the airwaves around the world,
including of course in France.
I spoke with the curator of the exhibition, Gene Yves Le Loup,
who started telling me about his first dab with disco.
As a kid I was listening to this kind of music
and was my first record was YMCF by the Village People.
That was a 12 inch.
I thought it was a LP, but it was a 12 inch.
In fact I was a bit surprised, but it was only like two tracks.
So that was what a kid could listen to in 1978.
And I was really into the chase track by Georgia Mordor from the Midnight Express soundtrack.
That was one of my favorite track at the time and it's still the same.
So I was into this kind of popular music as many other popular music of the time can be pop
or French chanson or rock.
And after, during the 80s, I was more into, I would say new wave and more.
Bit more gothic music and was a bit more into more Joy Division than New Order, for example.
