The JUNGLE FIRE sound digs deep into Afro/Latin Funk with an approach that is authentic and highly explosive! The Los Angeles-based 10-piece TropiFunk juggernaut pulls its influences from the music of legends such as Irakere, Ray Barretto, James Brown, Fela Kuti and Manu Dibango (just to name a few) while creating a melting pot of Afro-Caribbean and West African rhythms with a heavy break beat funk.

Blending the dance-inspiring rhythms of American psychedelic funk and soul jazz, with harmonies and melodies from East and West Africa, Sun Hop Fat embraces an astounding groove and is the premier Bay Area ensemble devoted to expanding the Ethiopian Jazz tradition, while adding its own distinctive NorCal flavor.
