Encyclopedic overview
(Learn how and when to remove this message)
Italo disco or Italodisco (variously capitalized, and sometimes hyphenated as Italo-disco) is a music genre which originated in Italy in the early 1980s. Italo disco evolved from the then-current post-disco dance music and synth-pop, both domestic and foreign (hi-NRG, Euro disco) and developed into a diverse genre. The genre employs electronic drums, drum machines, synthesizers, and occasionally vocoders. It is usually sung in English, and to a lesser extent in Italian and Spanish.
