When I am bored, I try to think of odd combinations. Today, the odd combination that popped into my head was "Japanese funk." I don't know why that popped into my head. It just did. But boy, am I ever glad that it did!
You see, it turns out that there is a vibrant funk and soul scene going on right now in Japan. And one of the notable bands in that scene is ZukunaSisters (aka Zukunasi in Japan). This all female four-piece takes what many think to be a fundamentally American style of music, applies Japanese lyrics, and belts it out in one of the more compelling live acts I've seen in a long time.
Anybody who is a fan of soul, funk, or R&B, do yourself a big favor and check ZukunaSisters out. I promise that you will not be disappointed.
