MESTIZO SOUNDS PRESENTS THE PSYCHEDELIC FUNK SHOW

Jazz Matters ·

2022/06/01

Funk was not only music made for dancing, but also to dream in colours as Jimi Hendrix would say about music. The show includes a selection of psychedelic gems of funk music breaking through to the extrasensory side. During the emerging time of African American expression and black power, funk was the soundtrack for this assertive awareness. Jimi Hendrix is one of the stars of this style. His blues guitar overdose with the Sandoz-made lysergic opened new ways to funk. Curtis Mayfield,
