******************** THE ORIGIN & HISTORY OF FUNK MUSIC ********************

Funk music is a beautiful mixture of jazz, R&B, soul music, and Afro-Cuban rhythms imbibed and reassembled by pioneer African-American musicians in New Orleans back in the 1960s. It is highly rhythmic and danceable thanks to increased infusion of electric bass and drum notes. Funk songs are characterized by prolonged vamp on a single chord, making it distinct from soul and R&B songs which are built on a sequence of chords. With its influence from African music, funk usually makes use of instruments like electric guitar, Hammond organ, electric bass, and drums, and sometimes bands use trumpets, saxophones, and trombones.

Notable funk artists and bands throughout the 1960s and subsequent decades include James Brown, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Parliament Funkadelic, Rufus & Chaka Khan, Sly and the Family Stone, the Isley Brothers, The Bar-Kays, Jam Underground, Karl Denson, Soulive, Ohio Players, Commodores, Kool & The Gang, Roy Ayers, Con Funk Shun, Stevie Wonder, Chic, Nigerian artist Fela Kuti, Barry White, Diana Ross, Rick James, Prince, Cameo, Zapp, The Bar-Kays, Earth, Wind and Fire, The Gap Band, The Dazz Band, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Phish, Medeski Martin & Wood, Galactic, Diazpora, and Widespread Panic.
