Boogie (genre)

Patrice Rushen 2010

Boogie (sometimes called post-disco[1][2][3] and electro-funk)[3] is a rhythm and blues genre of electronic dance music with close ties to the post-disco style, that first emerged in the United States during the late 1970s to mid-1980s. The sound of boogie is defined by bridging acoustic and electronic musical instruments with emphasis on vocals and miscellaneous effects. It later evolved into electro and house music.[4][5][6][7][8]
