Via Beatroot Is the rise and fall (and rise again) of what was once the most profitable form of music in Poland, connected with the similar rollercoaster ride of Polish organized crime? That was the thesis behind an article in the current affairs magazine Wprost a couple of weeks ago. As the police fight a re-emergence of large organized crime groups, disco polo – a unique Polish contemporary music form, popular in the 1990s – is rearing its tone deaf head. If you have never had the dubious pleasure of hearing a disco polo hit, then imagine a late 1980s Casio keyboard rhythm track, plus simple chords played under a simple Polish folk type melody. rest of the articel and links beatroot.blogspot.com/2007/03/disco-polo-mafia-connection.html

Holly,
I searched for the names mentioned in your article. Here there are some examples from Polodisco:
Shazza.-.Mi?o??.I.Zdrada.VHS-Rip.by.WDA
Skaner - lato
Disco Polo
The latest number sounds like the popular music we had in Holland and Germany too. Music for the masses played in mega-discotheques and dance halls.
Here a famouse Dutch (actually Croatian from origin) sexbomb, with one of her hits; Tatjana Simic - Crazy way about you;
