Funk

Funk is a genre of music that originated in the mid-1960s and is characterized by a strong rhythmic groove of a bass line played by an electric bass or bass guitar. It is often accompanied by syncopated drum patterns, electric guitar riffs, and vocal chants. Funk is often seen as a combination of soul, jazz, and rhythm and blues. It is known for its danceable grooves, its use of syncopated rhythms, and its call-and-response vocal patterns.
