Brit Funk

Brit funk is a musical style that has its origins in the British music scene of the late 1970s-1980s. It mixes elements from funk and soul music with original jazz-funk and Caribbean overtones.

An important stylistic element of Brit funk is the dominant role of the bass and rhythm guitars. With a hard funky rhythm, a cross between James Brown and Earth, Wind & Fire, the Brit funk trend reached its peak in the mid-1980s.
