Nabiyah Be Instagram – “I got to learn how disco and rock and roll were kind of like these two competing rebel music or alternative music [styles]. The face of rock and roll was the white man; the face of disco music was the Black woman.” For Be, the “most gratifying part” of Daisy Jones was being able to “tell a truthful story to the best of our abilities” about the queer, Black women who owned the underground club scene and the clubbers who were able to find a joyful sense of community. “That was a safe space for Black, Brown, Latino people to feel joy, and that’s really the birth of disco music,” she says. “It started in underground, marginalized spots, and predominantly from music that was coming from immigrants, and [there was] that transition from RnB and soul into what later became disco music.” .
