For each week in our course, you will consider music as a cultural artifact and be assigned either a piece of music or a specific musical artist to explore and analyze for the week. This week, you will be listening to music from the funk genre. As you have read this week, Funk is a musical trend of the late 1970s that came into music through Jazz. It referred to a simpler, more blues-oriented style and featured a strong, powerful rhythmic “groove.”
