INFO


Funky Chicken brings together some of the best Be lgian dance tracks from the early seventies. Emerged in a country where virtuall y every musical wave passes through, most of these tunes were created and record ed by hired guns, in this case a few clusters of gi_x001F_fted session musicians and c omposers. _x001E_The music on Funky Chicken is their take on (afro-)funk, soul and Lat in. Some of their releases were hit parade cannon fodder, but occasionaly, some spare studio time or the urgent need for a B-side allowed for memorable musical experiments.

Funky Chicken is a post-fact documentation, the result o f a quest into a period on which information is few and far between, the 'black hole' in Belgium's history of popular music. The barren wasteland between the va riety orchestras of the sixties and the electronic revolution of the late sevent ies and early eighties. _x001E_This series explores the ground the dance pioneers buil t upon.
