Description

Join us to screen the documentary film, We Want The Funk!, with a brief discussion afterwards. This documentary is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, tracing its roots in African rhythms, soul, and early jazz to its explosive rise in popular culture. Featuring icons like James Brown, George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic, Labelle, and Fela Kuti, the documentary also explores how funk shaped later genres such as new wave and hip-hop, highlighting its lasting cultural and musical influence.  It runs 1 hour and 20 minutes.
