Drawing inspiration from Salsa,
Samba, Afrobeat, Arabic, Bollywood,
Dancehall, Disco, Hip Hop, and House,
Captain Planet's "Gumbo Funk
EP" bridges globally scattered
genres with the universal love of
a danceable BREAKBEAT. Tightly woven
layers of syncopated percussion
build the foundation for piercing
horn blasts, driving bass riffs,
wah-wah guitars, jazzy keys, and
reinterpreted vocal samples. Gumbo
Funk is exactly what it sounds like:
a cross-cultural cornucopia of sound.
All appreciators of Thievery Corporation's
"Outernational" sound,
Quantic's cut-n-paste funk, J-Boogie's
"Dubtronic Science", or
the feel-good "Turntables On
The Hudson" party should pick
up this EP without a second thought! |
