EspañolFUNK-ROCK
(Redirected from Funk rock)
'Funk-rock' is a music genre that fuses funk and rock elements. It can incorporate a wide range of instruments, but tends to have a definite bass or drum beat and electric guitars.
Rock style leadguitars, funky bass and complex drumrhythms and percussions of funk.
Jimi Hendrix started to combine the rhythms and riffs of early funk to his rock band's sound. Perhaps the earliest example is his song "Little Miss Lover" (1967). His live album ''Band of Gypsys'' features funky riffs and rhythms throughout (especially the song "Power of Soul") and his unfinished album also included a couple of funk-rock songs such as "Freedom", "Izabella" and "Straight Ahead". Other pioneers of funk-rock evolved in the 1970s in the form of the British rock-band Trapeze, Frank Zappa and the American band Funkadelic. The Big Boys created their own sound with Hardcore Funk Punk in the early 1980s.
Style's representators in the 1980s through to the modern day include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Fishbone, Primus, Spin Doctors, Prince who have created, expanded and defined its style. In the early 1990s, several bands combined funky rhythms with heavy guitar sounds referred to as Funk metal.
A major form of Funk-rock is Minneapolis sound.
