 If it is true that in African American slang the word funk refers to the smell emitted by the body in a state of excitement, the lethal horns of Tower Of Power have captured the essence of this “primordial” energy by translating it into a mix of funk, soul, and jazz, all set against devastating rhythmic scenarios.
