1982 | Shweta Malhotra

By the end of the 70’s, Disco music all over the world was almost dead. But in India it was just starting to get popular around the early 80’s. The most renowned music producers of the disco movement in India were the well known Bappi Lahiri and Biddu (along with Nazia and Zohaib Hassan). Biddu known for his most famous non Bollywood Disco hit – Disco Deewane which became a worldwide hit in the early 80’s. In 1982 disco got most commercialised by the Bollywood movie ‘Disco Dancer’, the music of which was produced by Bappi Lahiri and another musical wonder movie ‘Star’, music produced by Biddu. And then there was the song from the movie Khuddar – Disco 82, the name of the track inspired my Art work from the start. Being a music buff and having always associated music with memories, I decided to pick this year. I listened to most of these tracks when I was growing up and they are very nostalgic and close to my heart. And of course they still rock!
