WE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul and early jazz roots to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown's dynamism, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat.
