Boogie

Boogie emerged in the late 1930s, primarily in the American South, as a lively offshoot of blues that made even the most reluctant dancers wiggle their toes. Characterised by a relentless, swinging rhythm and the classic bass line that practically begs you to shimmy, it's the sort of music that could liven up a funeral and probably has. If you're looking for a genre that turns foot tapping into a competitive sport, then you've hit the musical jackpot with boogie.
