About Me

Alpacas are a 9-piece funk collective hailing from Louvain, Belgium. Reminiscent of the works of S.O.U.L., James Brown, Curtis Mayfield and a lot of others, their musical stylings echo with the contagious rhythms, smooth horns and infectious percussion breaks that were the trademarks of the '60's and 70's funk movement. Since their inception in 2007, Alpacas have established themselves as one of Louvain's "must-see" local acts. Apart from their solo gigs, they had the honour of sharing the stages with Poets of Rhythm (Sojo Club), Lefties Soul Connection, Quantic Soul Orchestra (Het Depot), Budos Band (Trix) and Reverend Cleatus & The Soul Saviours (Paris).
