funk is an american musical style that originated in the mid- to late-1960s when african american musicians blended soul music, soul 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. unlike r&b and soul songs, which had many chord changes, funk songs are often based on an extended vamp on a single chord.
this is all according to wikipedia . but the funky boys and girls in chilibug play soul and rock as well. this means they play songs with more than 1 chord. chilibug is a truly gifted bunch of people.
the core members of the band came together way, way back, i.e. in the nineties , but the current line-up has existed from 2006.
