Eurodance Musicians
Eurodance (sometimes referred to as Euro-NRG) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the late 1980s in Europe. It combines many elements of rap, techno and Eurodisco. This genre of music is heavily influenced by the use of rich vocals, sometimes with rapped verses. This, combined with cutting-edge synthesizers, strong bass rhythm and melodic Hook (music), hooks, establishes the core foundation of Eurodance music. History Background Eurodance music originated in the late 1980s in central Europe, especially in Germany, where rave parties were becoming popular.
