The roots of funk 1947-1962

Description

What are the origins of funk? Since the beginning of the 20th century, this term has meant sweat, bad body odors and, by extension, hard-hitting dance music. Emblematic of “Black Power” and Afro-American liberation culture, funk has deep roots in the intense Afro-Caribbean music of Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica and New Orleans. From American “funky” jazz to “soul jazz” and from soul to the syncopated music of the 1960s, it had illustrious and eccentric precursors in the “rare groove” vein such as Bo Diddley or Sun Ra, whose Afrofuturism influenced artists like George Clinton or Herbie Hancock. In the tradition of his anthologies “Roots of Punk Rock”, “Roots of Ska” and “Roots of Soul”, Bruno Blum has brought together this eclectic selection at the roots of funk. He traces the spirit and influences behind the first hits by James Brown, The Meters, Eddie Bo or Funkadelic
