[Heltor Chasca]

I love a bit of funk or funk fusion mixed in with rock or reggae or any other genre.

What MODERN funk or funk fusions can you recommend?

(I’ll let you get away with any of the older stuff if it’s good.

Anderson Paak is worth listening too, pretty funky imo.
Bruno Mars, a bit more pop but funky.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Both Sean Kuti and Femi Kuti have taken on the torch from their late father in some style.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

Pretty funky,and don't forget that awesome guitar solo at about 2:50.

 

[Slow But Determined]

P-Funk.

 

[Slow But Determined]

Certainly not modern but does it get any better.

Listen to Craig Charles on six music. He usually drops at least one bit of modern funk/soul each show. Canadian 'WeFunk' radio via internet is good. Bit more rap involved than maybe you'd like, but good all the same.

Craig Charles is a great shout, made a lot of discoveries thanks to him, my favourite being The Hot 8 Brass Band.

My apologies Heltor, got a bit self indulgent with my choices and completely missed the point of "modern funk" in your original post.

Unfortunately most music since the late 70's has passed me by hence my choices were old records.

One of the best shows on radio

Strong agree. Never fails to put a smile on my face.

I used to like him, but since his complete sense of humour failure on Buzzcocks with Rizzle Kicks I think he's an ever-so-slightly pompous fool.

Here for anyone in the universe who hasn't seen it:

I’d suggest Trombone Shorty and, given the rockiness of some of the op’s favourites, Street Sweeper Social Club, too.
