Author Lloyd Bradley discusses his new book, a definitive exploration of Funk - a cultural movement that was always about far more than just music.
With roots in the poetry, art, theatre, and jazz of the 1960s Black Arts Movement, funk was the Second Great Black Renaissance. Funk Is Its Own Reward makes the links with other art forms and shines a light on the skill, sense of community, humour, formal training, and black pride that went into it.
