Listen/Download – Funky16Corners Kick In the Brass MP3
_____________________________________________________________

Greetings all!

This brand new mix has been percolating for a while, and the lockdown/quarantine thing pushed me to post it, so that you might have some groovy sounds to enjoy while hunkered.

This is just about an hour of 1960s, brass-heavy soul and funk, with some Hammond goodness mixed in for flavor.

So dig it, pass it along, and stay healthy!

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith

Larry

Listen/Download -Funky16Corners Presents Boogaloo Mardi Gras! – 85MB Mixed Mp3/192K

Greetings all.

Hey everybody!

It’s Mardi Gras time again, and I am keeping up with the annual tradition by posting another one of my favorite Funky16Corners mixes, ‘Boogaloo Mardi Gras’ (first posted in 2012) in which I have compiled some of the finest New Orleans soul and funk in my crates.

It has everything you need (except for liquor and potato chips) to laissez les bon temps roulez, so get you an um-ba-rella in your hand (thanks Alvin!) , roll out into the street and get your second line on.

This year I’m also re-posting all three volumes of The History of Allen Toussaint from the Funky16Corners Radio Show, because we can’t let the first Mardi Gras since his passing happen without a proper commemoration!
