My show features the finest funk and soul music, paired with a touch of jazz, South American sounds and world music, well away from the mainstream. I cover everything from ‘musical gems of yesteryear’ to brand new releases.
For many fans, funk music stopped evolving in the late 1970s, as they believe commercialisation had too much influence on style and expression. That may be true in some areas. However, intensive research reveals that there are also gaps and fringe areas. Funk music has also evolved. Bands such as Parliament, Funkadelic, Gil Scott-Heron and even the more commercially successful Commodores, etc. no longer exist or are no longer with us.
But there are new, lesser-known bands and artists who are worth discovering. And I see that as my challenge, according to the old familiar motto: ‘Seek and ye shall find.’
