Wikipedia: Funk is a music genre that originated in the mid-late 1960s when African American musicians blended soul music, jazz and R&B; into a rhythmic, danceable new form of music. Funk de-emphasizes melody and harmony and brings a strong rhythmic groove of electric bass and drums to the foreground. Funk songs are often based on an extended vamp on a single chord, distinguishing it from R&B; and soul songs centered around chord progressions.
