Funk

For the Christian singer of reggaeton Funky is seen

Funk is a musical sort, very popular during the years 1970, that appeared in the environment nocturne of the Afro-American communities in Member States. Been born like a evolution from some elements of the previous Soul and the Jazz, funk consolidated as an own style and marked the way of the dance music of there in future.

• The fundamental instrument in this style of music is the Low one, requiring a great technical proficencia and the creation of melódicas lines on which the adjustments of the rest of the instruments are constructed. A technique very used by the Funky bears is the “slap”, technique patented by the bear of Sly & The Family Stone, Larry Graham, who consists of simultaneously striking the chords of the low one with the thumb and firing doubled a chord to give a more powerful touch to the line.
• The guitar funk, on the other hand, is very different from a metal or rock, since it is based on the use of simple chords alternate with rasgueos droughts, generally in the acute chords, possibly using the pedal of Wah Wah and effects like the Flanger or ECFs (Envelope Controlled Filter) to give a percusivo sound to the instrument.
• The characteristic battery has metric and síncopas, and is one of the most evident parts that they have been inherited of funk almost without exchanges from his beginnings, through the different forms from music hip hop, breakbeat and later than electronic music of dance, but with more repetitive and marked compositions.

The raids with the sintetizador of artists like Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock (that is brilliant with sintes ARP in its disc of 1972 call “Headhunter”) and P-Funk” of George Clinton (via its tecladista Bernie Worrell in the Minimoog); added to the fall in prices of the electronics at the end of 70s, it put the seed so that at the beginning of 80s a type of Funk done only with instrumentation (incluída its percussion) electronic became popular, known like Electro Funk, and whose first outstanding exponents are the D-Train, Peech Boys, Shalamar and Midnight Star.

Finally, in Cuba it arose timba, at the end of of the 80 and principles of the 90, also call Cuban Sauce or by the prestigious critics denominated like Hipersalsa by his high complexity, in which the frequent virtuosity of low funk with slaps is the vertebral column of this musical current.
