Genres and subsequent sub-genres steeped in history, deeply rooted in African traditions. I'd recommend these articles to start educating yourself and start understanding it's importance: <a href="https://sc17s2.atavist.com/funk" target="_blank">The Impact Of Funk</a> and <a href="https://www.funk.ch/index.php/what-s-funky-music" target="_blank">What Is Funk?</a>, then Google has a tonne more info when you're done reading! ;)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">Funk and Soul have been a massive part of my life ever since my very first minute on this Earth! My Mum is (almost) as big a music fan as I am, with an <i><b>OBSESSION </b></i>for funk and soul music. Ya know those childhood Summer mornings when you were trying to have a lay-in as a kid, but your Mum had other ideas?! Them ones. She'd be o</span><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">pening all windows wide, music blasting? That was my Mum. With Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop and RnB. I'm not exaggerating when I say these songs have been a massive part in my life, I've heard them nearly every day for 20+ years of my life! She still attends Soul weekends, and she's still blasting her favs at any opportunity.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">I've put together a Spotify playlist showcasing some of my very favourite Funk & Soul tracks:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="380" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/0iR8Thq2sBHuaeOC7r8Bty" width="500"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">These songs have me feeling all types of ways, mostly grateful. Grateful to be able to experience the art of Funk & Soul and if I could thank every single person who had a hand in creating and influencing the music, I would. I'm so thankful to my Mum for opening my eyes to such an incredible genre of music, and I can promise I'll be doing the same for my child eventually.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><a href="https://twitter.com/shrimpforksx" target="_blank">Tweet @ me</a>, let me know your fav funk & Soul track!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">Talk soon! x</span></p>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02402675545675061424noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456351378072206932.post-44082314712618553392020-09-27T07:38:00.012-07:002020-09-27T08:08:54.253-07:00Sunday Slow Jams<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaCMNXjomRxkhYqzqjzPsyRx_5SozXEQqenT883VeC0RTT-sTqzUiwVWevyxQk40P60mghgPn1Niz1ur9MN0x7Ay3J215dwQ1AczCipM_5erSEspq7ILUywD3re4FF5GC6lKebHFw16MQ/s800/rnbsquare.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaCMNXjomRxkhYqzqjzPsyRx_5SozXEQqenT883VeC0RTT-sTqzUiwVWevyxQk40P60mghgPn1Niz1ur9MN0x7Ay3J215dwQ1AczCipM_5erSEspq7ILUywD3re4FF5GC6lKebHFw16MQ/w345-h345/rnbsquare.jpg" width="345" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">Hi!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><b>Sunday.

A groovy lil place on the internet where I can talk about the music I love, because quite frankly, my family and friends are sick of hearing about it.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">I have a very varied and eclectic music taste, which spans across the years and across many genres.

After some time I drifted away from the blogging world and I've been missing it BAAAD. I'm no 'professional music blogger' by any means, so there wont be any fancy music break downs, I just know a good song when I hear it, and I wanna share it!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">I look forward to sharing the artists I love, and I hope to meet people with similar passion!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">Talk soon!</span></p>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02402675545675061424noreply@blogger.com0London, UK51.5073509 -0.127758348.796252720661919 -4.52228955 54.218449079338079 4.26677295
