Afro Funk music festival
The Afro Funk Music Festival 2006 is about to decend upon us.
There seems to be plenty of funk happening in July 2006. This festival is sure to kick some rootsy, african hi-energy funky sounds. I for one, will try and make it.
Lots of class acts from Guinea, Kenya, Nigeria, Brazil, and the Bay Area and apparently, will be raising funds towards relief aid in countries such as Darfur, Kenya, Niger and Sudan where people have been devastated by war and famine.
