“Village People” in Riga. Disco icon, a symbol of freedom and ... Donald Trump anthem

This group has become a real legend, their works are recognized as the "American phenomenon" and the number of fans reaches millions. But they are not a history yet - they are here and now. The creativity of the band became a real music weapon in Donald Trump and Kamil Harris in the election duel. It's all about the legendary band Village People, the only concert will take place in Riga on December 17th. One such vivid event will be the first concert of the legendary band Village People in the Baltics to take place in Riga. This is not just a concert, it is a meeting with a symbol of cultural phenomenon, time and endless energy.

"Village People" is a phenomenon that demonstrates the spirit of freedom and joy of the 70s. Their hits like "Ymca", "Macho Man", "In the Navy" have become anthem for several generations, symbolizing the fun and the endless holiday spirit. The group's creative heritage is more relevant today than ever. In 2008, Village People received the star in Hollywood Fame. In 2020, the Congress Library described the hit "YMCA" as "American phenomenon" and added a song to the National Record Register. The entire US election campaign took place accompanied by Village People. Both Democratic Candidate Kamila Harris and the Republican Party candidate Donald Trump actively used the legendary hits of the group in their election rallies. This musical duel was given to the fact that Village People did not hide its sympathy for democrats. However, the group was happy to perform in the inauguration of Donald Trump, as he continues to believe that music does not divide, but unites people, folk and continents. The

group in 1977 was formed by producer Jacques Morali, inspired by the Dynamic From here, the name of the group - Village People. From the very beginning, the project was intended as a mixture of theatricality, sexual energy and a strong dance rhythm.

Each member of the group represented a recognizable American archetype - a construction worker, a policeman, a cowboy, a soldier, an Indian and a baiker. These masculine characters not only highlighted the participants' stage charisma, but also became a symbol of freedom of expression, stereotype challenging and fun, open hedonism. In those years, when it was difficult to talk about identity, Village People became a kind of message: "Be what you want to be."

Village People's most famous hits is "YMCA", a song about the young men's Christian organization building. It was sang (and still sings) in stadiums and it became very popular in discos.

2009. A kind of record was set when more than 44,000 people danced at the same time during breathing in the football game.
Inspired by the success of YMCA, the band wrote another superhita - "In the Navy". The song became the second largest hit by the band. The US Navy asked the group whether they would allow the song to use the Naval Force Recruitment Campaign. The video was filmed at the San Diego Navy base. Musicians were even allowed to use military equipment.
Another of the Village People's world hits was the song "Go West". True, today this song is known mainly for the 1993 version of the duo "Pet Shop Boys", but its first performers and authors were "Village People." At the end of the year, the group actively traveled the world. The popularity of the group members increased after their photos were adorned with the cover of the prestigious Rolling Stone magazine. The band developed their style in the early eighties. At the same time, the band's discography was expanded with a new album. In 1982, musicians presented the album "Fox on the Box".
