Disco has served as a refuge for those marginalized by society, including people of color and the queer community, fostering a sense of community and celebration. Cola Boyy, an Afro-Latino multi-instrumentalist known for his bedroom-funk pop records, embodied the disco spirit by blending his artistic vision with his experiences as a disabled individual. His final album, 'Quit to Play Chess', was completed just before his untimely death at age 34, underscoring the poignant connection between his music and life.
Disco's euphoric siren call has proven irresistible throughout the years, fostering community and turning escapist fantasy into tangible reality for marginalized individuals.
Cola Boyy, known as a 'disabled disco innovator', fused late-'70s club music with emotional depth, reflecting his unique experiences shaped by disability and culture.
Cola Boyy's second album, 'Quit to Play Chess', tragically became his last, released posthumously on March 17, 2024, the same day he passed away at 34.
