🔥 Step Into the Heat with Funk De Fuego


This week on Funky Friday, we're lighting up the airwaves with Funk De Fuego — a bold blend of Latin rhythm and deep-pocket funk. From the barrios of East LA to the streets of New York and down to barrio beats in the Caribbean, this episode lights up with the heartbeat of resistance and celebration.

We travel through twelve seriously dance-packed regions of sound, with signature brass hits, Afro-Cuban percussion, smoky grooves, and horn-driven swagger. Along the way, you’ll hear fire from legends like Santana, Willie Bobo, and Joe Bataan, alongside remixes and boundary-busting modern flamethrowers like Brownout, Jungle Fire, and Los Hacheros.

No seatbelt needed — just lean in and feel the flames.
