Hi fellows,
this week I’m going to talk about my favorite music genre: The Funk.
Funk is a
music style from around the 60’s – 70’s, very popular with Afro-American
people. It was born from a fusion between Soul, Jazz and Latin-American
rhythms. It’s a very shaken and gleeful music where there is a lot of use of
electric guitar, bass, drums, trumpets, etc. It’s mostly based over an extended
vamp over a single accord, being this it distinctive factor.
I started
to listen this music style thanks to a friend’s influence when I was in my
first year of high school. He showed me the Jamiroquai group, and I loved
their melodies. Since that moment I never stopped searching new songs and
groups related to this music style.
Between the
biggest exponents of the genre we have James Brown; funk’s father, and also
national bands, like Los Tetas and Chancho en Piedra.
Since I like this music genre, I've gone to three concerts from Los Tetas group, and one of Chancho en Piedra.
I like this
genre because the rhythm helps me to relax, but I generally listen only the
instrumental part of the songs.
Bye Bye
Bye Bye
Chancho en Piedra is a great band! I think they are a pride for our country. I went to go to a concert the last year, and they sound excellent.
