CHIC featuring NILE RODGERS
The greatest dance music band of all time – totally LIVE – playing their new smash single, I’ll Be There.
The Kings and Queens of disco music
The most crucial band in disco music history
Speaking of CHIC and Nile Rodgers is speaking of the most emblematic band in disco music history. Their three first albums set the standards of a classic sound whose songs keep us vibrating as they did the day they were released. Their second album ¨C´est Chic¨ (1978) included the unquestionable dancefloor filler ¨Le Freak¨ and the third one ¨Risqué¨(1979) featured the rhythmic bomb of ¨Good Times¨, a track that had a huge impact in the hip hop world because it became the base of the very famous ¨Rapper´s Delight¨ by The Sugarhill Gang.
After recording seven classic albums for the Atlantic label with CHIC, Nile Rodgers started his solo career as a highly coveted guitar player and producer. He produced career-changing albums for Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Grace Jones, Al Jarreau, Duran Duran, INXS, Mick Jagger and also produced the iconic Madonna´s ¨Like A Virgin¨ and superstar David Bowie´s ¨Let´s Dance¨.
In the new millennium Nile Rodgers is living a second artistic youth. The best example is his extraordinary success with Daft Punk in ¨Random Access Memories¨(2013) with which he won 3 Grammy awards and that transformed the single ¨Get Lucky¨ into a worldwide hit. After reforming CHIC he´s coming back to the stages and playing at the best festivals: Glastonbury, Sónar and now in Pedralbes, on the heels of releasing his excellent new single ¨I´ll Be There¨. The new Nile Rodgers featuring CHIC record is slated to come out later this year.
