Details:
FUNKADESI is a dynamic ensemble of musicians that integrate East Indian music (Hindi film, folk, and classical) with reggae, funk, and Afro-Caribbean grooves. Funkadesi has received critical acclaim from mainstream press in Toronto, London, New York, and Chicago. The band members'' cultural backgrounds are as diverse as the music, including Indian-American, Jamaican, African-American, European-American, and Latino heritages. The excitement that Funkadesi has created has captured the attention of a rapidly-growing multicultural fan base, both in the greater Chicago area, and across North America.
"this ideal party band . . . also bears messages of togetherness. . . . The rhythms of Indian Ragas and reggae have striking similarities, while the Latin, African and contemporary funk that''s spicing this one-sound, many-voices stew fits the all-world melange to a tee. Whatever your background, there''s music here for you."
- Geoff Chapman, Toronto Star
"The diverse mix of people and sounds that this band brings . . . is uniting everyone as ''one'' the way it should be - through music."
- Ray C, Star FM, London
"In a world with a precious balance of rhythm and melody, of black and white and Latino and Asian, of just-for-fun banalities and clever word play, of sexuality and propriety, the house band would have to be Funkadesi . . . ."
- Achy Obejas, Chicago Tribune
