Their Funk which has many influences and is well loved not only by hard core Funksters but Hip Hop and Jazz fans alike, The Whitefield Brothers are an absolute LIVE highlight of 2009.

They are a project of the Munich Funk heroes Poets Of Rhythm and specialise on raw funk with extensive, global influences. On their 2002 album "In The Raw" listeners are taken on a journey into the 60s and 70s with musical elements and instruments from the Afro Funk like Fela Kuti or Mulatu Astatke. Another inspiration was clearly Jazz icon Sun-Ra. Under the large umbrella "Funk" they are joined on their forthcoming albm "Earthology" by range of guests from Jazz to Hip Hop, from psychedelic to Funk. Amongst them are rapper MED, Edan, Percee P or Mr. Lif and musicians like the Dap Kinds and E Michels Afair as well as singer Bajika.

Join us in Bremen and get swept away by this extraordinary show with musical elements from Ethiopia, USA and South America. The Whitefield Brothers are performing world music in its very sense, BUT far differently from the dusty clichés and with a precision and dedication which will make this a night to remember.

To warm up DJ Ubeyde will play hand picked Jazz, Funk and Soul vinyl to set the stage for an evening of Groove.
