Brooklyn Funk Essentials

Brooklyn Funk Essentials is a musical collective, where jazz, funk and hip-hop meet.

Concert starts: 22:00 Single ticket price: NOK 420

Started among New York's jazz, hip-hop and slam poetry scenes in the early 90s, the band has shared the stage with artists such as The B-52s, Erykah Badu, Iggy & The Stooges and George Benson. 

They mix genres such as soul, jazz, Latin and house, and stir it together into a wonderful and energetic funk party. The band has released six albums, which have both received rave reviews and Grammy nominations. The music has been played in several films and TV programmes, including 'Starsky & Hutch' and 'The Sopranos'.
