A house piece showing the power and joy of being powerful women.Exploring the roots of house music and its intricate polyrhythms provides valuable context for understanding the dynamic energy and cultural significance of "Ladies of the House." While house music did gain significant prominence in Chicago, its origins indeed trace back to New York City, particularly in the vibrant club culture of the late 1970s and early 1980s. New York City's nightlife, with iconic venues like the Paradise Garage and The Loft, played a crucial role in the development and popularization of house music.
