The Souljazz Orchestra
These Canadian guys and gals just got a nomination for "Instrumental Album of the Year" from the Juno Awards (aka the Canadian Grammies). Not to mention #1 Album of the Year by a Canadian Band by the CBC.
The new album "Rising Sun" blends tasty bass lines with tight horns and textured latin rhythms to create an uber danceable Afro-Cuban FuNk ExPlosiOn!!!
They appeared at Glastonbury last year and they're gearing up for a pretty extensive European Tour this summer...
If you're into this check out other Strut Records artists. Strut is a UK label dedicated to underground disco, hard funk, Afro-beat, and old skool hip-hop that doesn't disappoint.
Soul's the Word...
