FediThing 🏳️‍🌈<p>People used to dance Conga lines in the 1940s and 1950s to tunes like this:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkwaWhOUpYk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=ZkwaWhOUpY</span><span class="invisible">k</span></a></p><p>...and it's derived from older traditional music from Cuba and ultimately Africa.</p><p>So why is it that when you try to find music for conga lines now, it is totally different 1980s pop tracks by Gloria Estefan or Black Lace? 🤔 They're not even suited to dancing in long lines, the Estefan version is way too fast, yet there are people trying to use Estefan's music for the older dance.</p><p>It's weird how revisionist pop culture can be, it's like the original music has been wiped from existence.</p><p><a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/Conga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Conga</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/Grumbling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Grumbling</span></a></p>
