Here the great wait for the concert in Riva is well explained. With it, musicaRivafestival wanted to pay homage to all citizens and to the numerous fans of the artist.

Gloria Gaynor is born in New Jersey (USA) in 1947 and she is unquestionably considered the queen of disco-music both by her fans and media. She began her career as a dark singer and entertainer in the pubs of Eastern Coast, where she learnt how to manage with the audience and the stage. She was discovered by Mr. Jay Elli, who became her manager -and still is – even though, then, she was performing in a nightclub with a song produced by Johnny Nash in 1965 and which let her express all her Afro-American singer’s features. Her success came in 1979, when the famous song titled “I will survive” gained the first position both in English and American classifications. This song represented a sort of hymn and with its dynamic rhythm but touching sound given by the archs and its genial arrangement it will change literary the discography market of that moment.
