Gli anni ’90, sono stati un periodo di grande fermento musicale, in particolare nel campo della musica dance, raggiungendo un livello di popolarità senza precedenti, grazie ad una serie di fattori, tra cui l’avvento della musica house e della techno, la diffusione delle discoteche e la nascita di nuovi canali musicali.
A seguito di un attenta e selettiva ricerca, ho voluto elencarvi i 100 brani dance più noti degli anni ’90.
Rappresentano un viaggio nella storia di un decennio di musica e cultura.
Hanno contribuito a definire l’estetica e l’atmosfera degli anni ’90 e continuano ad essere ballate ed amate da milioni di persone in tutto il mondo!
