MECO

Meco is the professional name of a disco music producer and performer who released Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk in 1977. The project blended disco with orchestral arrangements of John Williams's Star Wars score and produced the hit single Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band. The album achieved international chart success and is often cited as an example of late 1970s disco reinterpretations of film music. The Meco project was a studio-based undertaking featuring a rotating cast of session musicians and vocalists, with the lead producer's identity sometimes described as anonymous or pseudonymous.

Beyond its musical use, the name Meco can appear as a surname or as a place name in various regions. These uses are far less documented and do not have the same level of public recognition as the musician.
