What’s Funk? 5.06.2020 - Message From a Black Man

Normally, we should write you a hurray-sentence about how funky and fun will our "What’s Funk" show be.

We will not do this.

This week you won't hear Qba's voice saying that this great song was made this or that year and that you should get up and dance.

We will say nothing.

We will give voice to those who are silenced all the time. With a knee around the neck. We can no longer use American culture that treats people like that, without any thought. People we love: James Brown, Sam Cook, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, George Clinton ... People whose music we grew up on. People whose music we cried, loved and danced to. People whose work is a direct stimulus for creation of this organization.

We stand together! Funk for change!
