I maintain a pretty broad definition of Funk. I love the genre-bending hybrids that are funky, but not exactly Funk. They’re just too cool to categorize.
That being said, here are my favorite funky songs from around the world for 2017…so far...https://www.funkish.audio/best-funk-songs-2017/.
You’ve got pure Funk, Ethio-Jazz inspired Funk, New Orleans Funk (where we begin & end this playlist), Latin Funk, funky Soul music, modern Funk with a little disco House music influence, African Funk, and more.
This playlist is made up of my favorite Funk songs of 2017 with vocals. Check out the Best Instrumental Funk Songs at https://www.funkish.audio/best-funk-instrumentals-2017/.
Taken as a whole, it would be hard to classify this playlist at the record store. And yet, it’s funky!
