Un Homenaje A Brownout

It’s a fact. Prince got it. Prince totally got Brownout. Surely, you do as well? The Austin-based Afro-Latin funk/soul outfit proved it’s no mere Grupo Fantasma offshoot with the fiery 2008 debut, Homenaje. The collective pretty much bled its entire soul into this homage to their ’70s Latin funk influences, from Fela Kuti to Manu […]
