Free Film Screening: WE WANT THE FUNK!

WE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul, and early jazz roots, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown's dynamism, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle, and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, the film also traces funk's influences on both new wave and hip-hop. Join us for this high-energy film and stay afterwards for a conversation with your neighbors. Cookies and hot drinks will be provided.
