Music Facts: Dance/Electronic
Electronic music first began in the 1920s, but hit the mainstream in the 1970s, with disco, EDM and other genres.
Decades ago, disco music became a refuge for listeners – particularly Black, Latinx and queer audiences.
Recent dance music GRAMMY winners include Skrillex, Diplo, and Dua Lipa.
At the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2021, Kaytrananda became the first Black artist to win a GRAMMY for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
