FUNK FOUNDATIONS

During this season of holidays, I want to celebrate with one of the funkiest bands ever. 

Founded by the brothers Ronald and Robert "Kool" Bell in Jersey City, New Jersey… today I pay tribute to, one and only, Kool and the Gang… 

As always, I will dig deeper and wider to show you their extended work as producers and collaborators, their side projects and great covers by other artist…   

It is a bone shaking show… So, sit tight we are going to be launched to the planet funk
