Gospel Disco
from The Subgenropedia Hosted by Alex Neill
Gospel Disco (n.) [ɡɑs-p(ə)l dɪs-koʊ]: A combination of two seemingly opposite genres of music, Gospel Disco strives to bring together the rhythm and beats of late 1970s nightclub disco and the soulful, spiritually inspired lyrics and gospel. The revitalization of the subgenre led by Greg Belson in 2016 shows that the Lord is still moving with the music and can still bring the cultures of the clubs from Saturday nights to the pews of Sunday mornings together. For more of the Subgenropedia and other genres check out the Spotify Playlist with some more of my favorite picks for each sub-genre! Songs: 1. He's a Rock - Rev. Timothy Wright 2.
