Brooklyn Funk ESSENTIALS & Laço TAYFA - In the BuzzBag 1998

Brooklyn Funk ESSENTIALS & Laço TAYFA - In the BuzzBag 1998
Recorded in Istanbul in Consortium
with local combo Laco Tayfa

Jazz

Brooklyn Funk Essentials comes forward with a hybrid of a different nature: funk and hip-hop and reggae subdued by rhythms, melodies and chants of The East. In this album, Brooklyn Funk Essentials-in company of an embryonic Turkish band: Laço Tayfa-travels back and forth between New York and Istanbul, two ultimately different metropols. Together, they successfully explore the depths of these two musical cultures worlds apart: Brooklyn funk, gypsy funk, acid-jazz, funk-jazz, reggae, dub and beyond.

BFE entegrated the most beloved Turkish tunes to NY funk. It's a very successful fusion, but in fact, the original Turkish melodies remain so untouched, so that you can play this cd even in a traditional turkish club. The rhytym harmony is amazing. So fun and peacefull. It is not possible to understand how elseman@hotmail.com came to the point of politics in middle east in his review of the album. Incredible successfully selected songs belong purely to folk music, and have of course nothing to do with government issues, as away as BFE is from Bill Clinton's new years programme. BFE has added a great international taste to its experience. BFE has left the roxy club in Istanbul some time ago, but we still like to hear the voice of a child from the jam sessions on a musical marriage. I highly recommend this album to funk, jazz, rap and world beat fans.
