 rience will celebrate the release of their sophomore recording Black P

 0 times, Black President will be available at all major digital retail
 ers including iTunes as well as the band’s website at http://.afrofu
 nk.net.\n\nLed by Kenyan native Victor Sila Mutungi, a frontman who ha
 s been called a “Kenyan funk master” (San Francisco Chronicle) and
 “Africa’s James Brown” (Oakland Post), Sila & the Afrofunk Exper

 distinguishing themselves by incorporating African genres such as zouk
  and soukous, as well as the music of Western artists including Sly St
 one and Funkadelic. Black President finds the ensemble moving further 
 toward progress and change in both their lives and their\nmusic, with 
 blossoming musical chemistry, deep funky Afro-grooves and strong socia
 lly-conscious, politically-aware lyrics.\n\nCD Release Party for Black
