Description:
As George Clinton famously said, ‘funk used to be a bad word’, but though it’s long been out of the dog house, many people still don't think of Latin music when it comes to James Brown style beats. This is an unfortunate misconception because Latinos have always been funky – from pulsating son montuno grooves to bouncy bugalú and loping songo beats. This collection of contemporary Latino funk updates the Latin Soul sounds and puts a bright new spin on this thriving sub-genre. Artists such as veteran Latin Soul man Joe Bataan, Miami's Spam Allstars, Brooklyn's José Conde, and Up Bustle and Out from the UK/Mexico, are sure to make you shake your hips to the funk - but this time with a slice of chili pepper and a shot of rum!
