AFROFUNK EXPERIENCE
Chunky rhythms mixed with tasty funk-to-metal guitar grooves and blazing horns is the deep soul sound of the Afrofunk Experience: Every night the band delivers home grown ORIGINAL BAY AREA FUNK,
AFROBEAT, REGGAE, AND MORE

9 years ago, Bassist Wendell Rand (Afrolicious/Pleasuremaker,Youssoupha Sidibe) along with singer Victor Sila Mutungi, started Sila and the AfroFunk Experience (SAFE) as a World Music ensemble, working in local clubs, but eventually playing many notable festivals like EarthDance and San Francisco's annual Stern Grove Festival. SAFE were also winners of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding World Music Album: “Black President” in 2009.

After an decision to part with Sila, AFE transformed itself into the Funk music powerhouse that now tours the West Coast of the United States.

MALARKEY
(juke joint, decadance, skinny kitty tea house)

MALARKEY: Ma-lar-key: me-lar-ke'

1. irish slang: exaggerated or foolish talk, usually intended to deceive.

2. meaningless talk or nonsense

Diversity is king in a world filled with A.D.D, electronic hyperactivity and attention spans similar to that of goldfish... a concept that Malarkey knows all too well.

Fusing the wiggly feet of b boys, burners & beatniks is the one thing this guy has no trouble focusing on.

A multi-personality in the booth renders a playful gap between funky break beat for peak time discos... to silky downtempo for after hour smoke outs.... to globe trotting world beat for dusty bare feet.

A traditional style of mix and arrangement with the ability to gel various style, tempo & rhythm comes naturally shining a bright light on the delicate crowd control skill that most DJ's neglect.

Hailing from Sebastopol CA (wine country north of SF), his 5 year weekly (jUkE jOiNt) club event has pioneered dance music in the local area having hosted some of the worlds most renowned electronic music producers, while weaving variety skits & burlesque soirées along the way.

This guy wheres the dusty hat of a certified dee jay, music venue talent buyer, audio engineering graduate, stage designer, festival producer, club promoter & a fine irish whiskey drinker.
