Description

The Washington D.C.-based jazz-afrobeat band the Funk Ark came into being when Will Rast decided to fulfill a lifelong dream and "give himself over to the Funk," the universal connection between all music. And what do you get when you combine members of the genre-defining Thievery Corporation with high-energy world music instrumentalists, all under the leadership of a renowned composer and pianist? Answer: A powerful yet funky mix of afrobeat, jazz and big band music, along with a heavy influence of late-1960s Latin dance.
