Budos Band Makes Every Day A Funky Friday

Posted over 3 years ago

I'm a firm believer in bending time and space, TARDIS technology and timelines in the shape of a coil/spring shape. Therefore, I feel no shame in posting my Funky Friday post on a Monday. Coz Funky Friday should keep on funkin until the next Friday if need be.

A band I really got into this time last year is The Budos Band from Staten Island. Another Afro-influenced U.S. band, something like Chopteeth, but more laid back.

The Budos Band - "Volcano Song":

And on the more psychedelic-lounge tip, here is "Origin of Man":

Their bio on their label's site, World's Fair Records, lists the members thusly:

Eleven pieces in all, their group consists of drums, bass, guitar, electric organ, two trumpets, baritone saxophone, and a percussion section employing bongos, congas, tambourine, guiro, clave, shekere and cowbell.

You can download "Chicago Falcon" for FREE/legal plus stream 2 more songs on their page at World's Fair:

It's been a while since I dedicated a post, but this one goes out with BIG UPS to Cody B. I'm hoping to learn more about funk and dig some tunes out of my collection for next Friday's Funk-Fu...

    I like the second one, even though I thought I was about to watch a James Bond flick.

    This really sends me.  I just heard this for the first time last week being played in a used CD store in Lancaster PA.  I was salivating to buy it but they didn't have a copy in stock for sale.  I'm hot on its trail.  And here it is.  Great video too.
