Good evening everyone, it's finally Saturday so today it's time to move our bodies a bit and for that today I chose the group that made half the world dance with their songs and that to this day we still listen to, I'm talking about Earth, Wind & Fire.
So let's start
The truth is that Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) is and continues to be one of the most influential bands, not only for their music but also for the show they gave at their concerts. This great group was founded by Maurice White in 1969. This group was able to bring together funk, R&B, soul, disco, pop, jazz, gospel and African music and make a unique style out of it.
History of the group
Formation:
- Maurice White formed the band in Chicago, initially as a small group that evolved into a collective of incredibly talented musicians.
Name:
- The group's name is inspired by the elements that rule White's zodiac sign: earth, wind and fire.
Visual style:
- EWF is known for their high-energy live performances, spectacular choreography and extravagant costumes, often inspired by mysticism and ancient cultures.
Top Hits
Earth, Wind & Fire has an extensive catalog of songs that have been hits worldwide. Some of their most famous songs include:
"September" (1978)
- A disco anthem and one of the band's most iconic songs. It is also the soundtrack to many films.
"Shining Star" (1975)
"Fantasy" (1977)
"Let's Groove" (1981)
- A disco-funk hit that incorporated electronic elements, marking the beginning of a new era for the band.
"Boogie Wonderland" (1979)
Earth, Wind & Fire is, without a doubt, an extraordinary group that transcends the barriers of time. Their music is unique: it combines irresistible rhythms that make you move your whole body. They are the only band capable of combining funk, soul, jazz, disco and African-American elements. What I think is that they are a true example of musical innovation. They not only defined the sound of the 70s and 80s, but their influence is still alive today. So ladies and gentlemen, everyone, move your bodies because it's Saturday and you have to enjoy it.
