Description
You can hear a whole host of African and American influences in the music of Silas and the Afrofunk Experience. The godfathers of modern African music, '70s funk and vintage reggae cast a shadow over the band's work, from Fela Kuti to Thomas Mapfumo, James Brown to Bob Marley. But the Kenyan-born Silas and his crack 10-piece band have completely synthesized these inspirations, creating an kinetic, ecstatic sound that is undeniably their own. It's far-reaching music from a global village that only grows more interconnected by the day, delivered by musicians with chops and energy to burn.Schedule
