Funky Friday heads to New York City for Episode 84, Empire State of Funk.
From the streets of Harlem and Brooklyn to the dance floors of Manhattan, Jamaica, Queens, and the birth of hip-hop in the Bronx, this week's playlist follows the groove through a city where cultures, neighborhoods, and musical traditions continually collided and created something new.
Jimmy Castor, Harlem River Drive, Mandrill, B.T. Express, Cameo, Chic, Fatback, Tom Browne, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, and Bobby Womack trace a path from raw early-'70s funk through disco, jazz-funk, and the rhythmic foundations of hip-hop.
A celebration of the city, its neighborhoods, and the music that grew from them.
Five Boroughs. One Groove.
