History

Corona was formed in Italy in 1993 by producer Francesco Bontempi, better known as Lee Marrow. The project quickly became one of Europe’s biggest dance exports after the release of The Rhythm of the Night, which reached the Top 10 in numerous countries and became one of the defining dance records of the decade.

The follow up singles Baby Baby, Try Me Out and I Don’t Wanna Be a Star confirmed Corona as one of Eurodance’s biggest acts during the mid 1990s.

Although musical trends shifted towards the end of the decade, Corona continued releasing dance records and remains an internationally recognised live act performing at nostalgia festivals, dance events and major concerts worldwide.

More than thirty years after their breakthrough, The Rhythm of the Night remains one of the most recognisable dance songs ever recorded.
