Event Description

"Original Music by the Original People"

Afrofunk Experience

These purveyors of original Afrobeat, Reggae and Funk music are dance floor veterans, with current and former members of Spearhead, Afrolicious, Katdelic and Broun Fellinis among them. They will get you moving with their funky rhythms, draw you in with their soulful singing, and carry you away with their spirit-filled solos.

Winners of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding World Music Album, 2010 (W/ Sila and the Afrofunk Experience) for Black President Guitarist/Singer David James (Spearhead, The Coup, Beth Custer) brings his sinewy style to counter the funk-metal stylings of lead guitarist Ken House (H.P. Riot). The precise funk-rock drumming of Paul Olipant (Afrolicious, Will Magid Trio) with Wendell Rand's (Afrolicious, Tracorum, Youssoupha Sidibe) muscular dance grooves keep the band tight, while saxophonist David Boyce (Broun Fellinis, The Supplicants) and trombonist Alan Williams (Manicato, Katdelic) wail, their horns producing a sound that encompasses outward-bound jazz, classic reggae, afrobeat and R&B. Percussionist B. Lee thickens and adds flavor to the mix, and on top of all this, recent addition Sandy House adds her sultry voice and powerful stage presence.

Broun Fellinis

Formed 1991 in by Kevin Carnes,drums/electronics,David Boyce,tenor/soprano saxophone,efx,spoken word,and Kirk Peterson,electric bass.The Broun Fellinis play a soulful and aggressive style of post modern improvised/composed jazzical sound that is informed by dub,afro beat,abstract funk,drumnbass,hardcore punk,and film soundtracks. Broun Fellinis have toured with Ben Harper and performed The Last Poets,Meshell Ndegeocello,Living Colour,Erykah Badu,the Roots,Mos Def,Gil Scott-Heron,Zakir Hussain,Bernie Worrell,George Clinton,Jimmy Smith, and more.
“the Broun Fellinis glide easily and often from frenzied excursions to plaintive exotic melodies to hypnotic grooves.” Downbeat 10/99
