Once
in a while, a band comes through AFRO FUNKE' and
hits it
extremely hard with energy and soul. Last Thursday, ORGONE
absolutely captivated and liberated a packed house with their funk. Right
after the show our beloved FUZZBEE jumped
up with J.Sole on flute
to serenade the masses!
This coming Thursday is another BIG one, as we welcome
the
California debut of a fast-rising talent and beauty from Africa via Europe,
plus a band that invokes the spirit of Africa in every exciting show...
