Saturday December 19th, 2015 with ELORIOUS CAIN
AFRICAN FUNK

Like Nigeria's MIXED GRILL BAND with their "Brand New Wawo" artists all over the African continent tabled and continue to dabble into the FUNK. Manu Dibango aspired to do so in the early 1960's. Some of these groups were formed in or resided in the United States or France. They all started in Africa! There is so much material like this that we could to several shows like this! Hope you enjoy.
