Album Review

This appropriately titled tune gets its name from the well-known musical style we call “funk”. In the Ki-Kongo language "Lu-Fuki" originally referred to strong body odor and not to “funk” which meant fear or panic. That said, etymologically speaking, “Lu-fuki” is more closely related to the jazz description of "funky" we are familiar with, in its form and in its meaning. Enjoy the piece and this tidbit of information!
