The Breakestra is on your block
September 29th, 2006
If you haven't
heard the Breakestra's funk-infused groove,
you will. With fans ranging from A Tribe Called Quest to Carson
Daly, the Breakestra is poised to become a modern-day classic
collective. Honestly, take one listen to a song like
Getcho Soul Togetha
- you'll think these guys traveled forward in time
cruisin' in a 1972 Cadillac with fuzzy dice in the mirror and James
Brown riding shotgun. The hip hop orchestra coming from LA is one
of the premier funk bands of our era, mixing their own material and
covering classics so well even legends can't tell the difference -
no joke, the Roots' ?uestlove once sampled a Breakestra track
thinking it was a 30-year-old original! On jams like
Root Down
,
Inner City Blues
, and
Little Old Money Maker
, the
combination of today's hip hop rhythm with yesterday's soul power
is sure to put the jangle back in your jingle.
