Gay Pride Amsterdam 2020 adjusted To celebrate the Gay Pride that normally happens this time of the year in Amsterdam, we publish this video of The Village People today, August 1, 2020. The organization of Pride Amsterdam comes with an alternative program to still be visible in the city. The Pride celebrations as they take place every year cannot take place in a 1.5 meter society. That is why an alternative program has been devised for July 25 to August 2, 2020. For example, there will be broadcasts of Pride TV for 9 days and a walking route has been set out along all kinds of places that are important for the LGBTIQ community. Village People is an American disco group well known for their on-stage costumes depicting American masculine cultural stereotypes such as native Indians, cowboys, policemen, and Navy soldiers, as well as their catchy tunes and suggestive lyrics. Originally created by Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo to target disco’s gay audience by featuring popular gay fantasy personae, the band quickly became popular and moved into the mainstream. The Village People visited Amsterdam 40 years ago this month. These recordings were made during Village People’s visit to the Dutch premiere of their film ’Can’t Stop The Music’ at the opening of the film in cinema Tuschinski in Amsterdam August 5, 1980. We will publish an interview with Felipe Ortiz Rose shortly. Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop?
