About Funkiest Man in Africa
Africa's James Brown - San Francisco Chronicle“James Brown’s dance floor boogie strut infused with the manic drumming and serpentine guitar jams of Sila’s native Kenya.” -San Francisco Magazine
“Guaranteed to keep you glued to the dance floor.” -San Francisco Bay Guardian
“Mixing the legendary sounds of Fela Kuti with some tricks gleaned from James Brown and P-Funk, Sila and company create a dancefloor-ready throb guaranteed to move you.” -San Francisco Weekly
“Embracing his African roots and his love of funk, Sila channeled James Brown for inspiration and six years later, with the help of his renowned cast of bandmates, he’s achieved success without having to compromise his heritage (he sings in both Swahili and English) or his musical tastes.” - San Francisco Examiner
“Bay Area dance kings Sila and the Afrofunk Experience combine an international vision with dazzling musicianship. Frontman Sila Mutungi rivets audiences with a combination of James Brown’s punchy grooves and Fela Kuti’s West African swing. Their debut The Funkiest Man in Africa blows away listeners with its relentless rhythm and sharp songcraft, but can’t prepare you for the band’s potent onstage energy.”
-East Bay Express
“Sila and his Afrofunk Experience are in the energy exchange business: you give it up, they give it back with interest - no bribes involved. Try that trick with a Nigerian policeman.” -Santa Cruz Sentinel

“This is funky. James Brown would be proud of his progeny. He'd probably want them to back him sometimes.”

“Definitely channeling Fela Kuti on this cut, but the backing instrumentation is a bit more sleek.”
