"Kosen-Rufu"
After coming to Holland, Joseph Bowie's Defunkt and his life has undergone a surprise transformation! The NY version of Defunkt and the Defunkt Big band will continue to function,however these bands will now be under the umbrella of the new Kosen-Rufu Organisatie, a new culture organization based on Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhist principles, designed to supply culture and community workshops “free†to the community.
The new band, "Kosen-Rufu" has officially been formed in Holland, to generate the new musical ideas of Joseph Bowie and associates. The debut concert will take place March 13, in Gorinchem, the Netherlands. This band promises to be the freshest, newest and most exciting project born from the Defunkt tradition. With bassist Sylvain van Duffelen and brother Jeffrey van Duffelen on drums, Joe is shaping a new sound, designed perfectly for the times, incorporating groove, dance and funk like it has never been experienced before!!! Kosen-Rufu is a production company, currently in the studio now, preparing what is to be one of the most exciting new CD's and DVD's of the era. This new product is tentatively scheduled for release in late summer, 2004. However, we are spending more time on this recording project than ever before and are in no rush to finish! The important thing is that it is slamming, with a new, positive message, to counter the whoer'ish and destructive messages presented by the media today! These are the images that destroy our children and their hopes and dreams for the future. The new rapper, "Vader" will debut on this production. He promises to reverse the images polluting our media waves and bring invigorating, positive ideals and images to the youth.
The theme of the Kosen-Rufu Organisatie is "Make Humanity A Priority". With this in mind, we cannot fail in our journey to bring people together and spread compassion and love to all in our world.
We invite you to support and follow the evolution of Kosen-Rufu, the band and the community work of Kosen-Rufu, the Organisatie and the continuing growth of Defunkt bands with a new direction, based on humanity...and of course....S L A M I N G F U N K Y M U S I C !
