History

Despite the fact that the peak of popularity and heyday of the Funk music came in the 60s and 70s of the 20th century, thanks to such performers and musical groups as James Brown, George Clinton and his Funkadelic, a little later Earth, Wind & Fire, Barry White, after, in the 80s, elements of funk music began to be traced in the works of Michael Jackson, Prince, George Michael, Steve Wonder and other world idols.

Funk is a mix of two genres: soul and rhythm and blues (R&B). However, these old school giants laid the foundation for so many new directions with a touch of funk:

  • Pop Funk – pop + funk
  • Uptown Funk – pop-funk + boogie + electro + soul + disco
  • Jazz Funk – jazz + funk
  • Soul Funk – soul + funk
  • Drum Funk – Drum’n’Bass variation
  • Electro Funk – funk + hip-hop performed by using electronic musical instruments (synthesizers, electronic guitar etc.)
  • Instrumental Funk – just music, no words (read: just funk, no comments).
