Discogrupp hotar stoppa Trump om militär sätts in
I samband med Donald Trumps framträdanden spelas ofta discogruppen Village Peoples hits ”Macho Man” och ”YMCA”.
Tidigare har gruppen gett sitt godkännande till att presidenten använt låtarna men om Trump verkställer sitt hot att sätta in militär mot de pågående protesterna i landet så kommer de att ändra sig, skriver sångaren Victor Willis på Facebook.
”Jag kan tyvärr inte stödja det du föreslår”, skriver han.
bakgrund
Village People
Wikipedia (en)
Village People are an American disco group known for their on-stage costumes, catchy tunes, and suggestive lyrics. The group was originally formed by French producers Jacques Morali, Henri Belolo and lead singer Victor Willis following the release of the debut album Village People, which targeted disco's large gay audience. The group's name refers to New York City's Greenwich Village, at the time known for its large gay population. The characters were a symbolic group of American masculinity and macho gay-fantasy personas.The group quickly became popular and moved into the mainstream, scoring several disco and dance hits internationally, including the hit singles "Macho Man", "In the Navy", "Go West" and their biggest hit, "Y.M.C.A.". Describing the latter as "an American phenomenon", in March 2020 the US Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry, which preserves audio recordings considered to be "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".
