Crews | Day 5 | P-Funk and AfroFuturism

Listen, the P is for parliament and Funk for Funkadelic. Two bands united.   Under a groove.  Getting down  (for what?) …just fooooor the funk of it.  We ready.  Today’s conversation will explore the father of Black futurism as he convened a crew of bands (with a dash of Bootsy Collins), to inspire a new generation’s imagination of what was possible for children of the motherland - rejecting definitions of tragic fleets of ships of stolen progeny and setting off on a new zeitgeist of earthy soul and galactic freedom.  The Mothership is waiting. Snoop, Tupac, Erykah Badu, definitely Prince, and all of Omega Psi Phi have been dazzled by the star-shaped glimmer of this crew.  They are already onboard. Step inside. Join us today for a walk and talk.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music or speech excepts reference or played during this broadcast.
