Crews | Day 5 | P-Funk and AfroFuturism

Listen, the P is for parliament and Funk for Funkadelic. Two bands united. 

Under a groove.

Getting down

(for what?)

…just fooooor the funk of it.

We ready.

Today’s conversation will explore the father of Black futurism as he convened a crew of bands (with a dash of Bootsy Collins), to inspire a new generation’s imagination of what was possible for children of the motherland - rejecting definitions of tragic fleets of ships of stolen progeny and setting off on a new zeitgeist of earthy soul and galactic freedom.

The Mothership is waiting. Snoop, Tupac, Erykah Badu, definitely Prince, and all of Omega Psi Phi have been dazzled by the star-shaped glimmer of this crew.

They are already onboard.

Step inside.

Join us today for a walk and talk.
